Default reprogramming keyless entry

well when i bought my truck i didnt have the keyless entry for my key chain and i bought 2 for 50 instead of like 90 give or take from the dealership and i had to program them like a garage door opener so for the ones that run into the same problem as me heres a lil help

1. turn the ignition from off to run position(without turning truck on) 8 times within 20 seconds....door locks will lock/unlock to let you know program its "active"

2. grab your keyless entry/key fob and press any button...doors will lock/unlock once noticed key fob

3. turn ignition to off postion....doors will lock/unlock to let you know programming is complete


and wal-la you have keyless entry now....its quick and easy process


if you have more than one key fob just repeat process...it took me like a minute or two max to program both key fobs.....

I'm glad you put this on here, if we hadnt've known a mechanic at Ford we would never have figured out how to program my keys

I just programmed 2 new remotes yesterday, but came across a tiny issue that was not in the manual. When I programmed the 2 new remotes, my original remote became unprogrammed (I found this out an hour later when I had an armful of groceries). When I got home, I reprogramed all 3 remotes and had no issues.
