Key Transponder

[robdj]

Hi all,

 

I have 2 keys for my galaxy 2000 2.3, one is the remote key fob and the other just a transponder key. both keys lock and unlock the car. the remote key locks and unlocks the doors remotely. The transponder key operates the ignition but the remote key won't. I have read a number of topics on programming the remote key but can't find anything on programming the transponder. Ford want

You probably lost the PATS chip when you opened the key to change the batteries - they are prone to fall out.

PATS in the key head

 

Programming PATS requires specialist equipment and cannot be done by us mortals.

seatkid i second that your a gem mate.i replaced my battery and the same thing happened to me.it wouldnt starty so i tried reprogamming the key but no good.it would start on the emergency key but not on the remote one.lock and unlock ok but would not go.after reading your reply i looked and could see the pat was missing.looked all over and eventually i felt something with my hand as i was on hands and knees and it was the chip.put back in where your photo showed and presto away we go.i,m very gratefull to you and the galaxy owners club.probably saved me a small fortune at fords.thank you very much for putting those photos on its helped two of us now.well done.jinksy.
