I have a 96 Mustang GT and one of my keys broke. I called ford for a replacement and they told me the key has a chip/sensor in the rubber part of it. I would have to pay $35.00 for the key and about $100.00 to program. Does anyone have an idea how i can get the key programmed for cheaper?

Call a few locksmiths. You can do better.

Go to a lock smith, and have him make a couple of keys on a standard blank. With your remaining chipped/stock key, cut the end off, and tape it up under the dash.
Now THAT's funny! I would have never thought of that.

I tried that the first day my key broke, I had a key made and I taped the old rubber head with the chip in it to the end of the key but the car still would not start.?
- The chip needs power. It gets it through inductance. (maybe in the slot or near it)
- The chip sends a signal when it gets that power. (maybe back out the key to a receiver in the slot or near it)
I would stick it in or near a slot. ;)
