I just picked up a '98 V8 Explorer for really damn cheap but it did not come with keys. There is damage to the lock cylinder as well. The story was that it was stolen then the old man let it sit and lost the key. Not sure how they even got it started. Part of me thinks they stole it with the key and the dude I bought it from damaged the lock cylinder. Anyway I'd like to repair the system so I can get it started and assess the drivetrain for a potential donor for my '03 ranger.
Do I need to replace the PATS module, PCM and key? Or do I need the transceiver in the steering column as well? Or bite the bullet and pay a shop to program a new key? Not sure the best way to go about it without pouring money into it. Any help would be appreciated.
