Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: All RKE transmitters are programmable and must be set at the same time.

NOTE: Programming of the RKE transmitters can be accomplished using a scan tool or by carrying out the following steps:

Turn the key from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN. The locks then lock and unlock, confirming program mode has been entered.
Press any button on each RKE transmitter to be programmed. The doors lock and unlock to confirm that each RKE transmitter has been programmed.
If additional RKE transmitters are to be programmed, repeat Step 2 within 7 seconds. If more than 7 seconds have elapsed, the entire procedure must be repeated.
To exit program mode, wait at least 7 seconds or turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
Wait at least 20 seconds after turning the key to the OFF position, or after the last RKE transmitter is programmed, to activate a RKE transmitter for testing and verification.
