Then the programming didn’t set. If the security system turned on and the vehicle won’t do anything then call a smart locksmith, they might be able to over ride and reprogram the security to recognize the new key.

Who programmed the keys? On a Ford product you need TWO working keys to be able to program additional keys to the vehicle yourself. With a new lock cylinder the programming needs to be done by your local Ford Dealer or a reputable locksmith. Hope that helps! Jim
