How to Program the Ford Key Fob
Did you recently get replacement car keys, and now you’re wondering how to program Ford key fobs? Beach Automotive Group has you covered! Many new Ford vehicles come with a remote key fob for easier vehicle access. Programming a new key fobis is simple if your car is equipped with keyless entry and you know the steps. Conway and Murrells Inlet Ford owners can follow our quick guide below!
Step-by-Step Programming Instructions
- Close the car doors, then open the driver-side door. Press the UNLOCK button on the driver-side door.
- Next, turn the ignition from OFF to RUN 8 times. Do this within 10 seconds, making sure the 8th time ends on RUN. When you’ve entered programming mode, the door locks will lock and unlock. (Note: If the doors don’t cycle, turn the key faster. Your car may not have keyless entry if you still can’t get the doors locks to cycle.)
- Press any button on the Ford remote to be programmed. Do this within 8 seconds. The door locks will cycle again to confirm the keyless entry remote is programmed and ready to use.
- Have a second remote key fob? Again, press any button on the remote within 8 seconds to cycle the door locks. Repeat this step for any additional key fobs.
- Finally, turn the ignition to OFF. The locks will again cycle to confirm programming is complete.

Thank you for this guide. It totally worked.
Now, my main question is, do you have a guide to reprogramming the key itself? I had traveled with my car keys in our other car and my family called and made a new key to start the car with…now that I am back, the original keys are not able to start the car again…but the key fobs work to lock/unlock the doors…only the new key can start the car now. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you for this guide. It worked for my 1999 Ford Ranger extended cab 4×4.
Programmed a new fob as well as re-programmed the old one. Now have two fobs.
Thanks again!
