Ford Fiesta with Push-to-Start: All Keys Lost

Every key for a Ford Fiesta with push-to-start ignition had been lost. With no key to copy and a keyless start system to code to, this is one of the more involved key jobs — and Autobahn completed it.

Why push-to-start makes all-keys-lost harder

With a traditional key, the blade and the transponder chip are the two parts to recreate. With push-to-start there is no ignition barrel to turn: the car has to detect the new key electronically before it will start at all, so the key must be fully accepted by the vehicle’s keyless system.

The points below are general information about this kind of job. They explain the work; they are not additional details about this particular vehicle.

When every key is gone, the priority is to get the car accepting a new key and, where the system supports it, to stop the lost keys from working. That second step matters if the keys may have been stolen rather than simply lost.

Most push-start keys also contain a hidden emergency blade for the door lock, which has to be cut to match the car as well.

Not recorded

To keep this record accurate, the following are not published because the original post does not state them: the Fiesta generation or year, how entry was gained, whether the lost keys were removed from the car’s memory, and the location.
