08 Ford Escape RKE programming error
I lost my key and took my vehicle to a dealership to get a new key cut and programmed. It starts my vehicle however, they could not program the the RKE on the key. I was reading on a thread that there had been some problems with programming due to the Instrument Cluster Module needing updated. So, as a part of the recall, they updated the ICM. When I got home I tried to Program the RKE using the process below, but I still had no luck. When I press the button to program the fob, instead of the locks cycling to show that the program worked, the horn blows. Can anyone help me please? Thanks...
1. Turn ignition from Off to Run 8 times ending in Run ( Do not start the car, run position is just before the vehicle will start Off is turned all the way back when the key can be removed from the ignition ). Must be performed within 10 seconds. Locks will cycle signaling entering into programming mode. Keep foot off brake pedal.
2. Press any button on the remote being programmed, locks cycle confirming programming. Repeat this step for any addition remotes.
3. Turn key to off, locks will cycle to end programming mode.
