How to Program a Ford Key Fob
Are you driving a new Ford model around Rancho Cucamonga? Did you recently get a set of replacement car keys? Either way, you may be wondering how to program your Ford key fob. Luckily, Citrus Motors Ford has you covered! Remote key fobs provide quick and easy vehicle access, but you want to be sure yours is working properly. Follow the steps below in our Ford key fob programming guide!
Ford Key Fob Programming Instructions
Follow these instructions so that you can confidently set out on any journey around Fontana, knowing that your Ford key fob is functioning properly:
- Close all doors on your vehicle. Proceed to open the driver-side door, where you will push the UNLOCK button
- Turn the ignition from OFF to RUN 8 times, within 10 seconds. End on RUN the last time to enter programming mode.
- At this point, the door locks will lock and unlock. If this doesn’t happen, start over and turn the key faster. Unless the door locks cycle between lock and unlock, you may not have keyless entry.
- Within 8 seconds, push any button on your Ford remote to begin programming. The door locks will again cycle, which confirms keyless entry is good to go and ready to use.
- If you have a second remote key fob, take that Ford remote and press any button within 8 seconds to begin the door lock cycle. Repeat for any other key fobs you have.
- When you have programmed all of your Ford key fobs, turn the ignition to OFF. The door locks will cycle one last time to confirm programming completion.
Ford Intelligent Access Key Programming Instructions
Do you have a Ford Intelligent Access key fob that you need to program? Whether you have a new or a spare Intelligent Access key, follow these instructions:
- Have your unprogrammed Intelligent Access key in the center console pocket, and keep two previously programmed keys inside the vehicle.
- Press the driver and passenger power door unlock control three times.
- Push down and release the brake pedal once.
- Again, press the driver and passenger power door unlock control three times.
- Push down and release the brake pedal once.
- At this point, the Start/Stop button indicator should flash quickly, signaling that you’ve entered programming mode.
- Within a minute, press the Start/Stop button.
- A message will appear on the message center display that the new key was programmed.
- Press the unlock key on the newly-programmed Intelligent Access key to exit the programming mode.
- Check the new key’s functionality.
