I just got two new keys cut and can't figure out how to program them. My instructions say enter one key and turn to the on and back off, then enter a second key and turn on and off, and then enter a new key and leave on for one second and turn it back off and the security light will light for three seconds and will be programmed. Problem is I don't have the second original key, that is why I needed a couple new keys. How else can this be done with just one original key??

Thanks for the help!!!

Did you try running your original key thru the program twice, or 2 times in a row before, inserting the new key ?

Yeh, I tried to do that three times and it just wouldn't work? But thanks for some advice!!!

why do you need a new key?

You should have received two original keys with your new car.

Did they only give you one or did you lose one?

They also should have given you a small tag (with a bar code on it) along with the original two keys. You may need to take it to Ford to get a new programmed key if all you have is one original key and one blank key.

Yeah, your stuck with a trip to the dealer. I had the same problem with my daughter's 2003 mustang. They said they had to wipe the code and reenter it again or enter a new code, whichever it was its gonna co$t. I plan to get a third key when I get my firts service.[]

Here is a article on losing "smart" keys.

Looks like it could be a bit costly to get a new one.

Isnt the transmitter the same way? need both origional transmitters to program a new one?
I think its time I make a 3rd set for this car, lol. Never lost any keys or keyfobs on other cars, but always a 1st time for everything.

Ebay I think is the best place to look no?
The keys and fobs are the same for some other ford vehicles arent they?

I've been through this headache with my F150 and my Mustang...

I now tell people to make a third key ASAP or if I'm buying a new Ford product I insist that the dealer supply me the third programmed key as part of the deal...

You need BOTH original keys to make a third key... if you lose an original key it will cost you around $100.00 to have a new key made plus the cost of the key.... Unless you have been up against this crap it's hard to grasp the concept...

I just bought a new Freestyle for my wife and the first thing I did was have the third key made....

I dont' think this applies to the keypad -
