I know the guys in the 09 to 14 were able to do it, relatively easy.
Of course that was on the door handle and I forget if there was a ride to the dealer for programming.

 

Page 167 of your owner's manual http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Fo...US_05_2017.pdf . The backup slot is under the rubber liner of the cupholder if you have the console or the back of the inside of the armrest if you have the bench seat. All vehicles with push button start has a way to start the vehicle if the battery in the fob is dead.

 

Well, whatta ya know... You can't trust anything YouTube says. Even the dealers were saying owners of 18 were s.o.l.

If you were local sir, I would you a few rounds at least.


So I took out the bottom of the cup holder (actually as soon as I touched it, it lifted right up. and sure as **** it was there.
Wonder what made them choose a different spot.

Did the key swap and the code popped right up. I've had the same personal code for 13 years and I'm so used to leaving the keys in it. The truck didn't feel like mine not having those 5 simple numbers.

Now thanks to you everything is right in my truck world, and now it finally feels like mine.
Minor inconvenience in comparison to the big picture, but old habits are hard to break.
I can relax now..

Thanks again,
John.
