Step-by-Step Guide to Programming a Ford Connect Key Fob
- Gather the necessary materials: You'll need your Ford Connect vehicle, the new key fob you want to program, and the original working key fob (if available).
- Locate the programming button: In your Ford Connect, the programming button is typically located on the driver's side door jamb or the center console. Consult your owner's manual if you're unsure of the exact location.
- Enter programming mode: Press and hold the programming button until the door locks cycle or the lights flash, indicating that the vehicle is in programming mode.
- Program the new key fob: While the vehicle is in programming mode, press the lock button on the new key fob until the doors lock and unlock, confirming that the key fob has been successfully programmed.
- Repeat the process for additional key fobs: If you have more than one new key fob to program, repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional fob.
Once you've completed these steps, your new Ford Connect key fob should be fully programmed and ready to use. Remember to keep the original working key fob in a safe place, as it may be needed for future programming or troubleshooting.

- Ensure the battery in the new key fob is fresh: A low battery can prevent the key fob from being properly programmed.
- Check the programming button: Make sure the programming button is functioning correctly and that you're pressing it for the recommended duration.
- Consult your owner's manual: If you're still having trouble programming the key fob, refer to your Ford Connect's owner's manual for additional guidance or contact a Ford dealership for assistance.
By following these steps, you can easily program a new Ford Connect key fob and have your vehicle's keyless entry system up and running in no time.
