Hi I have the same style truck as you but mine is 08 explorer my alarm was working fine then after the battery was disconnected the alarm was deactivated so I tried to program it just like you did, the door lock cycle but when press the remote button I found no respond. Can you help
I got new fobs and I tried this method but I screwed up. After the 8th cycle the door locks popped and all… but then I turned it back to off without thinking. It did nothing when I hit the new key fob buttons. Now even after shutting the car off, after driving home, and trying several more times, I can’t get it to go into the programming mode. When I cycle the key 8 times it does nothing. Any idea how to reset it so that it goes into programming mode when I hit the key 8 times?
Ok, got it figured out. I figured there had to be a way to kick it out of programming mode so I could start over. I started it and shut it off 3 times and then tried again with the 8 cycles and it worked. Got my new fobs set! I was going to delete my question but I figured I would share my solution instead, in case it helps anyone. (Now to figure out if my new keys have a chip that needs programmed or if the just need cut.
I brought home a used 08 explorer yesterday and my friend gave me the fob from his totaled rig. Watched your video and reprogrammed the fob in under a minute. Thank you so much. 😊
Just got my replacement keyfob for $8 and followed this video and it work great. Thank you Oh just one note when you go to the internet to buy your key fobs read the entire description, the first two I ordered were only the case with no electronics . It was my mistake I only looked at the picture. Seller was totally honest.
He wasn't kidding . I did it to my 2008 explorer eddie Bauer and it worked. Big thank you to this guy here . Who save me 💰 money from these thieves out here In Brooklyn
Same exact vehicle chiming in from Bushwick. Ive tried it 20xs now and it won't work. Is there something i am missing? I hear clicking everytime i turn the key but no lock happens after the 8th time. In cannot get it into program mode at all. I only have this one key and fob. Not trying to pay the 90 at autozone! And 150 at dealer!
It worked for me, the same thing happened when I bought my 2006 Ford Explorer I didn't have a key fob so I had to buy one and this did work so I appreciate the tutorial
Thanks for the info took me all of 3 minutes to watch the video and do this and it worked perfect for all 3 of my key fobs. Don't ask why I have 3 it just came with them but they were never programmed.
Thanks is a great explanation Question ...on the 8th time turning the key and leave it that way , the truck dont make any sound lock or onlock ...why it could be that ...thanks
I have a Ford Explorer 2010 Limited 4.6L. I attempted to program the new fob, but when I finish the 8 time, it doesn't open or close the doors locks either allow to the fob works. Is there other option for the Explorer that I have? I attempted again with 2 New remote, now it works well. Thanks
Thank you so much fixed the problem thought it was the key replace the battery I don't think that's what it was but the Ignition turned worked thanks again.
Hi. I've been trying to connect 2 key fabs, and it isn't programming. I watched your video the other day and I program one of them not knowing I had to program them at the same time. So, I'm sitting in the truck now. So, I turn the key 8 times, the locks go from unlock to lock, then unlock. Do I hit a button on the fab while they are going or after they stop? And to program my 2nd fab, do I have to do the whole process again, starting with turning key 8 times, etc?
Do you happen to know if this programming would work with a key fob that has the buttons on the actual key? I found those for purchases online as well. Don't know if the programming would be different than the square fobs??
Hi! I have a Ford Explorer 3 (2004) and all previous key fobs are lost, there is only a physical ignition key. I bought one of the key chains you're talking about. After 7 (or 8) turns of the key, the machine switches to programming mode, but pressing the buttons on the keychain does not lead to anything. Could you tell me if any of the previous key chains are needed to program the next one and what could be wrong in my situation?
Hello sir, i just bought a Ford Fiesta 2013 without a key fob and I decided to buy a key fob on Ebay. I watched a lot of videos on TH-cam. However, my car didn't lock or have a chime sounds after 8 times of on-off the ignition. What should I do with this? Thank you
IF the FOB's battery is low and I change it, will I need to reprogram the FOB.. I have a sticking lock and in another video (2006 Explorer) the problem is either spring or broken wire blocking mechanism....but battery of FOB was also replaced, no mention of effect on programming..
We currently do not have a video on this particular repair. We will keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future.
@@HomeOwnerRepair Mine did before as well. I just ordered new ones on Amazon. They were probably old as hell, and one was broken anyways. Thank you for the response.
2009 EXP EB. Lost 1 of 2 remotes. The 1 works perfect. Bought the replacement. Cannot get into 'program mode?' Get in car, close all doors, insert ign key, off to ON x 8= nothing? Tried several times... nothing??? Comments?
@@HomeOwnerRepair I know. Super wierd. 2 different remotes and both worked right after but only pressed buttons twice and that was it. They no longer worked after those two presses.

Do you happen to know if this programming would work with a key fob that has the buttons on the actual key? I found those for purchases online as well. Don't know if the programming would be different than the square fobs??
Those might have to be done at the dealer. I thing for programmed keys you need one programmed OE key to program a replacement key...it's a pain.
Thank you for this it! It actually work!
Glad it helped!
Thank you soo much
Thanks for watching!
Thanks this works for my 2000ford expedition

Hello sir, i just bought a Ford Fiesta 2013 without a key fob and I decided to buy a key fob on Ebay. I watched a lot of videos on TH-cam. However, my car didn't lock or have a chime sounds after 8 times of on-off the ignition. What should I do with this? Thank you
Try leaving the door unlocked instead. Then try programming it.
We currently do not have a video for this particular repair
Thank you
You're welcome
I did this a few times and it didn't work, i did not hear the unlock and lock sound any recommendations? I recently bought a 2008 Ford Explorer
If the battery is new in the key fob maybe the key FOB is faulty or possibly not the correct one?
IF the FOB's battery is low and I change it, will I need to reprogram the FOB..
I have a sticking lock and in another video (2006 Explorer) the problem is either spring or broken wire blocking mechanism....but battery of FOB was also replaced, no mention of effect on programming..
You shouldn't have to
Can you have all the keys with you? I programmed 1 key and my master key got unprogrammed. Is this normal? I had both with me in the car.
Not sure why that happened. I would leave the other key FOB out of range while programming them. Hope this helps you out.
2007 ford explorer sport trac. I tried this and it worked the first test after programming but not after I remove my key from ignition.
You may want to try it again, or maybe try replacing the battery in the key fob if the battery is old or seems weak.
@HomeOwnerRepair it is a fob I was already using that stopped working so I changed the battery.
Oh. And I bought two of the exact same fans that you have from amazon for $11.95
Thanks for watching
I tried this and got the fob to click unlock worked. Then when I took key out it didn't work again. Still not working. Dud fob?
It could be.
Hey thanks man, yeah I just bought the same Explorer and one key and no key fob, so thanks

Great video. Any videos on how to replace the key cylinder?
We currently do not have a video on this particular repair. We will keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future.
What if you don’t get the first do you keep trying or do you wait like 20 second to try again
Yeah, It may take a few tries. Took me a couple of tries before I got it.
Does this just lock/open the doors or does this also start the car?
It just locks and unlocks the doors. You would have to have a remote starter put in with its own remote in order to remotely start the vehicle.
I did this. The reset starts, I pushed the button, the truck responds, but then when I try to use the fob it doesn't work. Any ideas?
Ugh not sure....Mine just worked.
@@HomeOwnerRepair Mine did before as well. I just ordered new ones on Amazon. They were probably old as hell, and one was broken anyways. Thank you for the response.

It took me a couple tries but got it. Not sure what might be stopping it.
Does this work for a ‘03 model?
It may be the same or a similar procedure.
What is the problem if remote for 2009 ford explorer works inside the car and dosnt work outside
I did it and working, but only inside the car and when I take remote outside my car, not working
Can you please help me out
Hope to hear from you soon,
Thanks
Possibly a weak battery in the remote?
I have change the battery but still
I tried it several times. Each time it worked as soon as I pressed any button twice it wouldn't work after that. Help please.
That's weird. Mine just worked after a couple of tries then it was fine.
@@HomeOwnerRepair I know. Super wierd. 2 different remotes and both worked right after but only pressed buttons twice and that was it. They no longer worked after those two presses.

It's all used cars. If you can actually get two key FOBs with a used car it's like finding the holy grail!
