How to Program the Key Remote to My Ford Truck

Keyless entry remotes come standard on a number of Ford trucks,. You can also install aftermarket if not included when purchasing the truck from the dealership. These remotes can control your car's door locks, trunk, panic alarm and even engine starter. You can sync the remote to your Ford truck's transmitter in just seconds from the vehicle's driver's seat. This process requires only the remote itself and your truck's ignition key.

  • Enter your car with your keyless remote and your ignition key. Be sure to keep your foot off the brake pedal throughout the process.

  • Unlock the doors for the driver's side door switch and insert your key into the ignition.

  • Cycle the key from "Off" to "On" eight times in quick succession. Be sure to end in the "Run" position after the eighth cycle.

  • Press any button on your keyless remote within 20 seconds to program it. Wait for the door locks to cycle to confirm the programming worked successfully.

  • Repeat Step 4 with any additional remotes and remove the key from the ignition to end the programming.
