I have two OEM keys and they will not program. I do not see anything in the manual on key programing. The only thing I had was the paper from my remote start and it says the key programing feature has to be enabled. I assumed whatever that is its not enabled because I followed it to the tee and it did not work.

 

I programmed a third key using the following - 1. Close all doors, then open your driver side door and press the Unlock button on the drivers door while it is open. 2. Turn ignition from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, with the 8th time ending in RUN. The door locks will lock and unlock to confirm that you have entered programming mode(Off is the position where you can remove your key, RUN is the position just shy of starting your car. If the door locks do not cycle you should try it again but faster. If they still do not cycle, your vehicle may not have keyless entry) 3. Within 8 seconds press any button on the first keyless remote to be programmed. Door locks will cycle to confirm programming. If you only have one remote then skip to step 5. 4. Within 8 seconds, press any button on the second keyless remote. Door locks will cycle again to confirm programming. Repeat step 4. for all other remotes. 5. Turn ignition to OFF. Locks will again cycle to indicate end of programming mode.

This is for the keyless entry remote programming. There was a separate process to program the key to start the vehicle. If I can find the directions I'll post it but it did require 2 factory keys.

 

So is there any need for me to buy a key from eBay? Sounds like I could program an eBay key to unlock the doors but it won't start the truck unless I go to dealer?

 

You need to start your own question and answer thread, don't leech from the op. Bad mojo.

 

Sorry. I did but was hoping for some help. Forget it. I'll lurk from now on

 

Yea you sure as hell wouldn't want to come here for help.
