Lost your Ford Edge key fob or need to program a new one? For 2018 and 2019 Ford Edge models, you can program an additional key fob yourself if you already have two programmed keys. This guide provides a step-by-step process to program a new key fob, ensuring you’re not stranded without access to your vehicle. While this process doesn’t directly involve the Ford Edge Key Fob Battery 2019, understanding your key fob is crucial for vehicle access and maintenance. Make sure you have all necessary materials ready before starting.
To begin the programming sequence for your Ford Edge key fob, ensure you meet these prerequisites: you must possess two already programmed key fobs and a new, unprogrammed key fob. The process needs to be initiated inside the vehicle with all doors closed, and you must complete the following steps within 30 seconds of pressing the ignition switch for the first time.
Here are the programming steps:
-
Start by removing the emergency key blade from all of your key fob transmitters. This is a standard first step to prepare the fobs for programming.
-
Open the center console lid of your Ford Edge. Locate the backup slot designed for the key fob, situated at the bottom front of the console. Position your first programmed intelligent access key fob into this backup slot, ensuring the buttons are facing upwards and the unlock button is directed towards the front of your vehicle. Push the key fob all the way forward into this designated “bed.”
-
Press the push-button ignition switch in your Ford Edge. This is the first ignition press in the programming sequence.
-
Wait for 3 seconds. After waiting, press the push-button ignition switch again.
-
Remove the first intelligent access key fob from the backup slot in the center console.
-
Within 8 seconds of removing the first key fob, place your second programmed intelligent access key fob into the backup slot. Then, press the push-button ignition switch.
-
Wait for another 3 seconds, and then press the push-button ignition switch once more.
-
Remove the second programmed intelligent access key fob from the slot.
-
Immediately place the unprogrammed intelligent access key fob into the backup slot. Press the push-button ignition switch. At this point, you should hear the door locks activate. This is an indication that the new key fob is being successfully programmed to your Ford Edge.
Once you hear the door locks activate, the key fob programming process should be complete. You can now test the new key fob to ensure it properly operates the locks and ignition of your 2019 or 2018 Ford Edge. This method provides a straightforward way to add an extra key fob without requiring a trip to the dealership, saving both time and potentially the cost associated with professional programming services.
