How do I program a Ford Expedition key?

I just bought a new universal key fob so my son can use my car. How do I program a key fob to work on my Ford?

That’s so generous—hopefully your son enjoys using your car!
To program a Ford Expedition key, you will need to have your existing fob nearby. Then, follow these steps to program the new key to your vehicle:
  1. Turn the ignition to the on position, then switch it to off, repeating eight times within a 10-second period. You should hear the power locks open and close three times, indicating that a new key is ready to be paired.
  2. Within 20 seconds, press any key on the new remote. The locks will cycle once to confirm that it has been programmed.
  3. Turn the ignition to the off position to confirm that the programming mode has concluded.
Just like that, you’ve programmed a new key for your Ford Expedition!
