Status: offline I have an extra key fob that's not programed, does anyone know the procedure to program it? I know #2 key has to be programed at the dealership, but aren't the key fobs user programable?

Status: offline keys can only be programmed by a dealer or someone with equal capabilitys the chip needs to be programmed to the computer in the console.... now keyless entry remotes you can program yourself.

Status: offline not in NY you cant the dealer hold rights to it and wouldnt release it to me...... so they said anyways my dad worked with a guy that had a comp program that he could match the chip to the car or however it works but i dont think you can do it just by liek some sort of step procedure.... i could be wrong but i think it depends on the years

Status: offline Remember that all other fobs have tobe present when programming.

1. Cycle the ign from off to on 8 times ending in the on position.

At this point your locks will cycle ( they will lock and then unlock )

2. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time on the 1st remote you want to program.

The locks will cycle ( they will lock and then unlock ) letting you know that it was
accepted.

3. Now quickly press and hold at the same time the lock and unlock buttons on the second remote.

Again the locks will cycle letting you know it was accepted.

4. Shut the ignition off now and the locks will cycle one last time.

Finished

Status: offline Thanks guys. I found the instructions in the manual to program the fob. The dealership (pre owned) where I bought the car gave me a second fob, and I am going to the Ford dealer for the 2nd key and programing on Friday. I know it's expensive but the dealership where I bough the car is paying for it.

are you sure you have to push two buttons on the remote? I do it a lot at work and i always just push one button on them and it works every time. Except for my POS year where i have to climb into the trunk and ground some gay wire...
