Ok I know that there have been posts on this topic but I have searched through and not found anything else to help me out. I went and had a new PATS key cut today. I have the one key that goes to the car that works. I put it in and let the dash lights come on and the couple that cut off go off and the led stopped flashing. I then took that key out and immediately put in the new key and turned it to the same point until the flashing LED went out. However the led wasn't flashing it was solid. Am i forgetting a step or something. Please someone I am trying to get an extra key as this one has already been locked in once. This is 98 Contour SE 2.5 V6 Duratech. TIA ~heath
