Ford Taurus Locksmith in Washington, DC

Ford Taurus lockout, keys and ignition service

The Ford Taurus is a sedan we see regularly on DC streets and in DC garages. Ford introduced its PATS chip-key immobilizer in the mid-1990s, so nearly every Ford on the road needs a programmed key. Many Fords need two working keys to add a third without equipment; when you are down to one or none, we program through the diagnostic port.

Ford Taurus lockout

Locked out of your Ford Taurus? A technician arrives in 15–25 minutes anywhere in DC and opens it without damage. On sedans the most common lockout is keys left in the trunk. Many models disable the inside trunk release when the doors are locked, so we open the cabin first and then release the trunk. More about car lockout service.

Ford Taurus key made

If you lost your only Ford Taurus key, we cut a new one by code or by decoding the lock and program it at the car, so no tow is needed. Have your ID and registration ready. More about car key replacement.

Ford Taurus key programming

We program transponder keys, remote-head keys and push-to-start fobs for the Ford Taurus, add spares, and erase lost keys from the vehicle on request. More about key programming and key fob replacement.

Ford Taurus ignition repair and replacement

On turn-key versions of the Ford Taurus, a key that sticks or will not turn usually points to a worn key or worn ignition cylinder. We repair or replace the cylinder where the car sits and match it to your existing key when possible. Push-to-start versions have no cylinder; no-start problems there are usually the fob or its battery. More about ignition repair.
