lost key

[Reconisance]

my GTS has manual everything, so its a slight problem when i lost the unlocking key the other day. i just got the car home and was changing the alternator and somehow i either drove off with the key in the keyhole (i feel smart) or lost it amongst my...organized...garage. either way i have scoured everywhere possible and cannot find it. the local ford dealership told me that ford only maintains its records for roughly ten years, so my car was 5 years too late for them to know which code or pattern or whatever for my key.

alright. so my question: aside from a locksmith tearing apart my lock to find out the pattern for the key, is there any way or anywhere i can look to find the pattern. i have the ignition key, just not the key to unlock the doors and trunk. (not a fan of leaving my car unlocked everywhere)

thanks for spending the time to read this, hopefully there is some way

Go to the dealer and have them make you one. You will need your title or your insurance card. I did this on my honda.

you have a seperate door key?

the dealer said they cant because they only retain records for about 10 years, and yes, i guess my ignition key does open the doors just not the trunk

sounds like the ignition was replaced already if you have two keys. There is always the option of having the locks changed but not cheap.
