Has it worked before?
I can't remember if the Bronco is like older Fords where you actually have to press Lock / Start / Start with a half second pause between each

Yes. Lock is required first, then 2 presses of the remote start button

Do you have the Ford pass app set up? Will it remote start with that?

Key fob batteries dead? I doubt it with two doing it but have to ask. Next question will the key fobs unlock the doors and start the truck? I like the app start question as well.

If I remember correctly, I think it can be disabled, check the infotainment system in one of the menu options and make sure you are allowing it.

Yup! Starts as it should with my phone!

Already checked, and remote start is enabled.

Both fobs work the locks, and panic buttons work on both.

YES! Thank You for this answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It works and now I don't have to go to my local Ford dealer and sound like a idiot!

Ford’s decision to not provide manuals…. I couldn’t find this in any of the online videos. Posters are absolutely correct but wrong order. Press the LOCK button once and within 3 seconds press the second button from the bottom (2X) twice.

Note: nothing will work when you get inside until you hit the push to start button and all of the settings before you shut the truck off (heater, heated steering, radio, etc) will come on.

Hope that helps.

That’s the same order that was already posted.

Also, the manual is in the infotainment screen.

This doesn't seem to be your issue but for posterity, if the Bronco has been sitting without being driven for 'a while' it will go into 'battery conservation mode' whereby the remote key fob will not start the car or unlock the doors. It happens to me once in a while and is solved by driving it around 'for a bit' to recharge the battery. It doesn't go into this 'battery conservation mode' if I remember to put it on a battery tender.

Yes posted a few minutes before I hit enter, the other I read said 2x lock…maybe I missed another post. I tried to find the answer online (online on the screen) sorry didn’t make that clear. I like physical medium, I’m not impressed by the search engine and generally spend more time trying to find the answer on the screen.
