wondering how you reset the key fob for a 2005. i got a new key fob and want to reprogram it. not any luck trying the on off 8 times. please help, thanks.

 

bumpity bump.

 

one more time to the top

 

This is what worked on my 01 F250 and 05 F150. It has been a few years, but I don't think you turn the key all the way off. This may be your problem.
Good Luck!


HOW TO REPROGRAM YOUR KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE CONTROLS (97-UP)
It is necessary to have ALL (maximum of four-original and/or new) of your remote transmitters available prior to beginning this procedure
To program the transmitters yourself:
1. Insert a key in the ignition and turn from 3(Off) to 4(On) eight times in rapid succession (within 10 seconds) with the eighth turn ending in the 4(On) position.
2. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that programming mode has been entered.
3. Within 20 seconds, program a remote transmitter by pressing any button on a transmitter. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that the remote transmitter has been programmed. (If more than 20 seconds pass before pressing a remote transmitter button, the programming mode will exit and the procedure will have to be repeated.)
4. Repeat the previous step to program additional remote transmitters. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has been programmed.
5. When you have completed programming the remote transmitters, turn th ignition to 3(Off) or wait 20 seconds. Again the doors will lock/unlock to confirm programming has been completed.
That's it!

 

Maybe wer'e doing something wrong then . That's the same proceedure I used on my 03 F250, and we can't get it to work on the 05 F350. We'll just have to try it again....

Thanks

 

When all else fails, read the owners manual! It might be in there. I know the seat belt disarm is.

 

yeah, the bad thing is he bought it used and didn't come with a manual

 

You can download the manual from Ford.com

 

didn't know that, thanks Bud!
