My car was made in May 1997 as a 1998 CSVT. I have both working PATS keys, but two times I ran into situation that the PATS prevented my car to start. Before I lose one of the key, I decided to buy key blanks so I can program the new key myself. I bought 2 Strattec keys (considered OEM) but when I received them, there are no center grooves in the middle of the keys, while my original do.
The key blanks I received are just like this:
As you can see, there is no center groove. On the Strattec web site, it says 98-00 Contour V6 models have 011-R0221 (Ford num), or H72-PT (key makers oem num). Somewhere else I saw H73-PT.
Do any one know for sure what the earlier CSVT use for key? And, can any one verify your PATS enabled key has the middle groove or not?
This picture shows my original and the new blank:
Thanks guys!
