So I took my explorer over to the locksmiths shop in town and tried to get a second PATs key made because my idiot friend lost the second one.
So he comes out with his OBD-II tablet thingy so he can make the second PATS key but he starts getting errors and isnt able to make a key. He says hes been making PATS keys since 2004 and has NEVER experienced this. Said hed call his tablet scan device manufacturer and see if they know anything since he recently updated it.
I provided the key that I got on eBay and he was thinking that was it but he verified it tested good as a "chip" key and was exactly like the ones he had in his shop.
All I can think of is back 5 years ago when my friend dropped the only key into the gutter and had a guy come out and make two new PATS keys for him.
So I ended up getting a cut key out of it that will do everything but start the truck.
Still worried that I might have only one key in the world that can start the truck though...
Any ideas? meanwhile im going to make my friend search his house high and low for the second key. God damn hes so stupid.
