Programing key FOB?

Hey guys,

I had to do this on an earlier truck I used to have but cannot remember how for the life of me now.

I have an extra key fob and want to set it up to work on my current truck.... I think it was some silly code thing like turn the key on, turn the key off, hold your lip just right, and stand on one foot and hop....

Do any of you know what the steps were?

Thanks a bunch!

Take care!

I just read somthing on this the other day. I think it was turn the key on and off like 8 times ending with it on. Then the doors will lock then unlock to tell you it's in program mode. I think you have to push the lock button on the fob then. I will look and see if I can find it.

I cycled it several different combinations 8 times ending in on, 7 times ending in on, 8 times with the 9th on turn and no luck getting into program mode..... All this seems familiar like when i did it before I just cannot remember what the trick was. Also my last Ford was a v-10 so I am not sure if that makes a difference or not?

Thank you for the suggestions! Any others?

Thanks,

JT.

Found this on another post.... I had to cycle the key quite fast for it to work but it did work.

Thank you for the quick response.


This is from the Ford workshop manual for the 2003 F-Super Duty.

NOTE: All remote transmitters must be programmed at the same time.

NOTE: Programming (or reprogramming) of the remote transmitters can be accomplished using a diagnostic tool or by carrying out the following steps:

1 The vehicle must be electronically unlocked before entering program mode using the remote transmitter, keyless entry keypad (if equipped) or door
lock control switch while the driver door is open.

2 Turn the key from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, with the eighth turn ending in RUN. If the module has successfully entered program mode, it will lock and then unlock all doors.

3 Within 20 seconds, press any button on a remote transmitter, and the doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has been programmed. Repeat this step for each remote transmitter.

4 If the door locks do not respond for any remote transmitter, wait several seconds and press the button again. if the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Inspection and Verification in this section. (Make sure that no more than the maximum number of remote transmitters are attempted to be programmed.)

5 Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs:
-The key transitions to the OFF position.

-20 seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last
remote transmitter was programmed.

-The maximum number of remote transmitters have been programmed.
