Key Fob and keys

I am always locking my keys in the Bronco and I have no extra keys or a extra working key fob.

Has anyone replaced their key fob/remote for their Bronco?

Does the key fob have to be programmed somehow? Also, my original keys are pretty well worn down and I wonder if this will be a problem for someone

to make copies off of (so I can have extra keys).

The key fob is still available through Ford for about $70 list. They probably have to program it, but not sure of the labor cost.

I'd love to get the factory key fob setup, but apparently it's pretty difficult to install if the truck never came with one. At least that's what I remember reading when I looked into it.

I'd think the dealer should be able to program the key fob to an existing unit fairly easily.


As for making extra key copies, it can be difficult if your keys are worn. Mine were too warn to have reliable copies so I replaced everything. I bought a kit on ebay that had both door cylinders and the ignition cylinder with two keys from Ford so it had the Ford emblem on the key. It wasn't too much money and is surprisingly easy to install if you decide to go that route.


Edit: It looks like that kit is under 100 bucks: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-1992-95...UHYI3g&vxp=mtr

I can't remember where I got this info from (and I didn't save the link to the article when I copied the directions ) but this worked to program my 2nd key fob on a 95 Bronco.

1. Turn ignition to RUN or ACC.

2. Jump the two pin connectors just below the center dash, above the accelerator pedal, in the gray harness not connected to anything. All doors will lock then unlock to confirm programming mode.

3. Press any button on first keyless remote. Door locks will cycle to confirm programming.

4. If programming a second keyless remote, press any button on second keyless remote. Door locks will cycle to confirm programming.

5. Turn igniton to OFF. Locks will again cycle to indicate end of programming mode.
