Step-by-Step Programming Instructions
Follow these simple steps to program your 2009 Chrysler Town & Country key fob:
- Insert and Turn First Valid Key: Place your first working key fob into the ignition. Turn the ignition to the ON position. Keep it in the ON position for at least 3 seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds.
- Turn Off and Remove First Key: Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF position and take out the first key fob.
- Insert and Turn Second Valid Key: Within 15 seconds of removing the first key, insert your second working key fob into the ignition. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
- Wait for Chime and Light: After about 10 seconds, you might hear a chime. The Vehicle Security Light will start flashing.
- Turn Off and Remove Second Key: Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF position and remove the second key fob.
- Insert New Key Fob: Within 60 seconds, insert the new, unprogrammed key fob into the ignition. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
- Programming Confirmation: After 10 seconds, you will hear a single chime. The Vehicle Security Light will stop flashing, then turn on for 3 seconds, and finally turn off. This indicates that your new 2009 Town and Country key fob is successfully programmed.
Your Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter will also be programmed during this process, so your remote functions should now work with the new key fob. You can repeat these steps to program up to eight key fobs for your vehicle.
Important Notes
- Two Valid Keys Required: This DIY programming method only works if you have two already programmed and working key fobs.
- Lost Both or Only Have One Key? If you’ve lost both original key fobs, or only have one working key, you’ll need to visit a certified dealer or a qualified locksmith for programming assistance. They have specialized equipment to program your 2009 Chrysler Town & Country key fob in these situations.
- One-Time Programming: Once a new RKE fobik is programmed to your vehicle, it cannot be reprogrammed to another vehicle in the future.
- Professional Programming Available: If you are having trouble with the programming process or prefer professional assistance, you can search online for “key fob programming near me” to find local services.
Programming your 2009 Town and Country key fob can be a straightforward process if you have two existing keys. By following these instructions, you can save time and money by programming your new key fob yourself.
