As the title says - wife lost her key somewhere between here and the neighbor's house across the street. Now she's worried that someone will pick it up and have a key to her beloved Baby Cactus (23 XLT). Is there a way to turn off that key (or key fob) and then get replacements?

If you program yours as the primary one and set the other one the lowest speed posible ? That way at least they can't go that far.

Try to contact ford, they might have a way to disable the lost one.

That sucks. I hope you can park it in a garage. Whoever finds the key, all they have to do is drive down the street and hit the lock or the unlock button and see what lights up.
If you can't secure the Maverick you may want to pull the negative battery cable.

Good luck

You can program a third key if you can figure out how to take everything out of your console including the bottom tray liner. There is a locator where to put fobs to program them but you need (I think) all keys so the computer knows what number the new key will be. If you don't have at least the first two keys then you can take the fob you have along with the paper bar code tag that was on the ring the salesman gave you and (mine did) said "keep this tag" to the dealer and he can make a new ($200???) key. If the dealer cannot get the as built code which matches he can reset and record all keys, I believe. Also there are several threads concerning keys, use search

Thanks all for reading, found the keys this morning. They were in the pool!
Fortunately no shrinkage.

We are happy the keys were found in either your pool or the neighbors pool!🤗

Does the key still work after being in the pool?
I bought a $120 Creader scanner (Launch software I believe) I haven't played with the key functions but I think I could add or erase keys with it.
I added 2 extra keys after I bought my truck. Redneck Garage was kind enough to cut them and give me the instructions to program them. Easy but you have to have the 2 original keys.

Get her an itag for the new key!
Yep, wife and I have itags on each set of keys. Had to use that feature once, tracked it down to within 20 feet. Found! We use them in suitcases when we travel. I have heard you can track your own luggage better than the airline can. Inexpensive for a set of four, but I can't remember how much we paid. Amazon.

To all - thanks for the responses. Two weeks later and the key still works! It was in the pool for about 16 hours.
