- Insert your existing programmed key into the ignition.
- Turn the ignition from the "Off" position to the "Run" position eight times within 10 seconds, ending in the "Run" position. If done correctly, the doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that you've entered programming mode.
Step 3: Program the New Key Fob
- Press any button on the new key fob within 8 seconds. The doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that the new key fob has been programmed successfully.
- If you have additional key fobs to program, repeat the same procedure for each one within the same 8-second time frame.
Step 4: Exit Programming Mode
- Turn the ignition to the “Off” position to exit programming mode. The doors will lock and then unlock one last time to confirm the end of programming mode.
Step 5: Test the New Key Fob
- Check each button on the new key fob to make sure it works correctly (e.g., lock, unlock, panic). Ensure that the vehicle responds appropriately to each button press.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If the programming is unsuccessful, repeat the steps ensuring that you perform each step within the specified time frame.
- Consult your owner’s manual or contact a professional locksmith or your Ford dealership if you encounter issues.
