Karl is correct, original key #1, insert turn to acc. (do not start),
remove. Repeat with original key #2. Now do the same thing with your new
key, but when you turn it off, do not remove the key, instead turn it
forward all the way and it should start. Now your key is programmed!! I
think there is a timeframe (like 10-15 sec.) so if it doesn’t work try it
again faster. I just did it on my 2004 F150 because one of my keys was worn
down. Always use your best key for the new cut. Lowes/Home Depot told me
they cannot cut modern vehicle keys, go to a real locksmith. Some
locksmiths with the side cut machines can program keys for you regardless
of how many you have. If not look around, avoid the dealer if you can. Its
just too expensive.

How about if you only have ONE key but two FOBS? I also know the original
key# 4 digits and a letter – I have a 2005 Escape but I believe it is the
same. I have been living with the one key for a while but would I need to
do a 2nd?

Tom King says:

If you have 2 already programmed keys you can program in a 3rd key by
turning the 1st key to the on position remove and put your 2nd key in and
turn it to the on position. Remove the key and insert the new 3rd key in
and turn it to on and wait 10 seconds. Remove this key and re insert and
check for operation. If programmed the car will start, if not the theft
light will flash quickly. If you only have 1 key you can have a locksmith
program in this key. We have machines that will copy these keys correctly,
this includes the new Fiesta and Focus keys.If your not sure how to do this
call your local locksmith. 

Karl Murphy says:

I typically believe you need 2 original keys plus the new key. If you only
have one original, you may be taking a trip to the dealership, but I am not
entirely sure.

What vehicles does just turning the new key over 8 times work i have a 2007
f150??

donorclay says:

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! I’ve been searching everything all day
to find out why my anti-theft system was so buggy. Turning the key 8 times
worked like a charm. On my 2000 mustang. WHOOOO!!!!!

Maurice Miller says:

yes on a 2005 f-150 you do need two keys already programmed to program a
third one. so if you have two already then it would be best to buy a key
online like ebay then have it cut anywhere like Wal-Mart for two bucks and
then program it yourself like I did. it real easy to do and want cost you
$60 buck which is what the dealership will charge you I know because I
bought my truck used and it only had one key so I had to buy the second one
and have the dealership program it for me. good luck

twompz1 says:

Is there a certain year where it stops for Ford F150 to get the
programming?!?

Sheqardi says:

How can I program a cut Ford Focud key? It has chip and I already cut it
but I didn’t program it yet. Please guys I need your help

sal9000x says:

anything before 1999 or so doesnt have to be programmed.

macdaddy8224 says:

i lost the pats chip that goes into the little black box that is mounted
right above my peddles how do i get a new one

Poldariser says:

yup, the manual says you need both original coded keys in order to program
an extra one yourself. 2000 Ford F150 XLT

rodeo o says:

just cut the key portion off, open the shroud and hide the key next to the
ignitions cylindar, try it several time move the black portion around until
your car starts with no problem, you must tape it or glue it securely!!!!!
than you can make any keys you want… just add a alarm with a kill switch
for more security and you are done.. fk the magnufactures when they came up
with this bull sht….$150 for a key lol

Robert Mitchum says:

That’s really great. …… And I can crack a wall safe if I spend
thousands of hours on random combinations. Sounds essy enough, but there
are a few variables. How do you know if you have the original key sets, how
do you know this is going to work on your piticular make and model. I gave
this a try, and it failed miserably. Had the damn thing so confused, now
none of the keys worked,luckily the system reset itself after a minute or
so. But during that minute, I thoight I was screwed.

Poldariser says:

I got a car key cut at my local home depot and the guy said it was free
since it was my own key. Also it didn’t have a chip in it (01 Subaru
Forester). Now I have a Ford F150 and only have 1 key… I always have 3
keys to each of my vehicles… I’m finding out online that you need both
keys in order to program it yourself… I can’t afford dealer prices. Any
suggestions! Thanks
