Keyless Remote Problem
The keyless remotes for my 08 F350 are not operating as they should. For some reason, the truck will only accept the programming for one remote. I have followed the correct procedure to program them [key on/off 8 times staying on, then activate both remotes, then key off] several times with no success. I have tried several different remotes and new batteries, thinking that was the problem, but still no luck. No matter what I do, I can only get the truck to remember one remote.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

You are programming 2 identical remotes? I had a similar issue a few years back on a truck I was working on. I had an issues where it would not go into programming mode. I ended up disconnecting the batteries, and unplugging the module waited a bit, reconnected batteries, then module. Someone suggested I try this first and it worked!

The truck I had an issue with was an '04 and I believe it was located behind the radio area. Maybe start in that area? Hopefully someone will chime in with some help...

I know that they lock the number of keys in the E-PATS system.
Could there be some thing like that for the remotes?
If that is the case your going to need someone that has access
to a programer like the IDS system at the dealership.
I had a 3rd fob tjat would not program and it had
something to do with having the door open or some odd thing
like that. As I think about it Maybe it was door closed and locked
before I could get it to go into programming mode.
