How do you program a 1999 Ford F150 key fob?

I have an older car (1999 Ford F150) and recently obtained a new key fob. How can I program it or do I need to take it to the dealership?

Despite being an older vehicle, there are no special or difficult steps involved in programming your new key fob!
To program your 1999
Ford F150’s
key fob, here’s what to do:
  • Start by turning your ignition from off to run 8 times in 10 seconds.
  • Leave it on run after the 8th turn.
  • You should hear the door locks cycle, indicating your car has entered programming mode
  • Press any button on your keyless remote with 20 seconds. The door locks should cycle again to confirm programming.
  • If you have any extra key fobs, repeat the previous step to program them.
  • Exit programming mode by switching the ignition back off.
The door locks will cycle one final time, letting you know the program mode has been closed. Congratulations! You’ve now successfully programmed your Ford F150’s key fob.
