Maybe call dealer

Just ordered a Ford OEM Key Fab From Parts.for.com. 3 button
Does not come with the key blank (You can get them on eBay for $10) fords key blank is $105 the fob is only $35 - $45 depending on the model, why mess around with aftermarket.
Followed the programing instructions with the 2 original keys, worked the 1st time.
DM me if you have any questions.

2 details that seem to be important

1. Close all doors
2. Fob face down

I do Question the security of the after market key(3rd key). But I'm only using it in case I lose a key. I can reprogram a fourth key that would be oem. Came with key blank, but I won't use/ cut it

I'm in the same boat- lost mine with the doors off on the highway. Anyone else have any luck with just 1 remote? Dealer wants $400

Can’t do it with one. Dealership will have to.

For those that don't know... key fob (or transponder) only works with 1 vehicle. You can't take your wife's '23 Explorer remotes and program them as back ups to your Bronco, while still expecting them to start your wife's vehicle...
Ask me how I know...

Tried this many times . Didn't say anything about Failed. Didn't dsay anything at all. . Very confusing. Where should the new key to be programed be? Assuming also in the car. So we don't do anything with the new key?? I put the existing fob in with buttons up. Do I step on break and actually start car? Tried it both ways. How can I tell if it is enabled to program?
Any help would be appreciated.

I’m not sure how much more clear I can make the instructions. it’s a very easy procedure to follow. At no point should you be touching the brake or starting the vehicle.

You do the exact same thing 3 times. Once with an already programmed fob, again with your second already programmed fob, and a final time with the un-programmed new fob

Have you been placing the FOBs buttons down or up? I programmed mine this weekend and it only worked with the button down.

Thanks. Just did it properly. Wasn't putting the key to be programmed in. Thanks again.

Place the key face down

Just got a 2024 Big Bend and this was one of the first things I did.

Two data points to add:
1. It only worked after I put the remotes in, buttons down, and towards the back. The removable key was towards the front of the car. Not sure why this mattered but it did.
2. It said it paired successfully, but the remote buttons wouldn’t work until AFTER I used one of the old remotes. As in: Outside the car, tried locking with the new remote. No go. Tried unlocking. No good. Then I used the old remote to lock, and the new remote suddenly worked.

remote start won’t work on the new remote (so far) but at least I have a paired remote and can program a new one if I lose an OEM remote. It was about $35 on Amazon.

2 options

Be careful with the aftermarket ones. I work at a dealer and sometimes the aftermarket ones don't program right all the time
