Hey guys, need some help, bought a flip key blank on eBay $25, and put all the electronics into it from an old focus that got written off last month. Got the key cut ($40)and I programmed the remote as per manual. Now the doors open no problem, the key turns but the car doesn't start!!! what's going on???

there is a transponder integrated into the key that de-activates your immobiliser
cutting the key will open doors, re-programming the remote will again also open doors but the electronically encrypted chip embedded into the key will only de-activate the immobiliser it was made for this is part of the reason Ford justifies the monstrous price tag for cutting a new key |

Can your friendly Ford dealer activate the key blank if it has a chip in it?

 also if someone can make a few dollars on eBay they will. Having said that, many/most of the listings on eBay that I've seen do say outright in their listings that they WILL NOT start the car Quote:
