This guide provides step-by-step instructions to program your 1999 Mazda 626 key fob remote yourself. Programming your key fob can restore the convenience of keyless entry to your vehicle without requiring a trip to the dealership.
Step-by-Step Programming Guide
Follow these instructions carefully to program your 1999 Mazda 626 key fob:
-
Start with Key and Doors: Ensure your key is removed from the ignition and all doors are closed. Crucially, the driver’s side door should be opened and remain open throughout the initial programming steps.
-
Ignition Key Cycling (Within 24 Seconds): This next sequence must be performed quickly, within 24 seconds:
a. Insert the key into the ignition.
b. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position, then immediately turn it back to the “OFF” position.
c. Repeat step ‘b’ two more times for a total of three cycles of ON and OFF.
d. Remove the key from the ignition after the final OFF cycle. -
Driver Door Button Pressing: Locate the driver door frame button (a black rubber button that detects door closure). Push this button three times.
-
Confirmation of Programming Mode: Listen carefully for a buzz sound, chime, or the sound of the doors locking and unlocking. This auditory signal indicates that your 1999 Mazda 626 has successfully entered programming mode. If you do not hear this confirmation, wait for 40 seconds and then return to step 4 and repeat the process.
-
Transmitter Programming: Now you need to program each key fob transmitter, including any previously working remotes. For each transmitter you wish to program:
a. Press any button on the key fob remote two times.
b. Again, listen for the buzz sound, chime, or door lock/unlock sound to confirm the vehicle has accepted the transmitter’s code.
c. If you are programming only one transmitter, repeat steps ‘a’ and ‘b’ two more times with the same transmitter to ensure proper programming. If programming multiple transmitters, repeat steps ‘a’ and ‘b’ two times for each additional transmitter. -
Final Confirmation: To finalize the programming, push the driver door frame button one more time (one push).
-
Successful Programming Signal: Listen for two buzz sounds, chimes, or two cycles of the doors locking and unlocking. This final confirmation indicates that the key fob programming for your 1999 Mazda 626 has been successfully completed.
