I only have one orginal key for my 2002 F-150. Can I program this key myself?

only if you can find someone to cut the key, at a reasonable price. most places wants you to purchase their over priced key, and the dealer's will program and cut at their regular rate.

un-sure weather my answer will help.but I purchased a key that supposed to fit my F250,i,v taken it to 2 key programers and neither can make it work..Not sure if I will take the gamble with trying another other from a Ford place...

You have to have two programmed keys already to program this one,otherwise you will have to take new key to a Ford dealer. Programmed will just open your door.

The easy way to do it is take the key you bought to the dealership. They will program it for about fifty dollars. Cheapest way to go.

yes, but this MUST be done from automotive locksmiths OR dealership. I got charged for programming around $200.

Yes, programing required at a dealership as Fob has the electronics. Might be a good idea also to get a spare key.

No. You need to take it to a dealer or independent that has a Tech2 tool. They will be able to program the fob. I believe the existing key has to function well enough to start and run the car. If not, you may have other issues.

You cannot. Tried and failed. Ended up sending back to the seller. Bought a new Key Fob on ebay and paying the dealership to reprogram it and the one remaining one I had when we purchased the car.

I took mine to a key shop and they couldn't make it work either...it opens the door and that's about it. I had to bite the bullet and purchase their replacement key for about $65 dollars including programing. Still much cheaper than the dealer. Rick p.s. I did purchase a remote fob from Amazon that I was able to program myself, after about six or eight tries.

You will not be able to program the key itself without a 2nd working/programmed key. Use a locksmith a locksmith instead of the Stealership. Their charge was $70 for they key/key cutting/programming, or 60 for same if I brought one in off the internet. Seemed like a no brainer, the entire process took 10/15 minutes. Stealership wanted 160, so it was less than half price.

If you do not have 2 keys that already work you will not be able to program 1 new key. I had a local moble locksmith cut new key and program .

Well, to program this remote, you must have your key to your Ford F-150. The way I programmed mine (on a 2005 F-150 FX4)was that I got in the truck, locked and unlocked my truck using the button on my door, put the key in, turned the key to the on position (as far as you can turn it without cranking the starter motor), turned the key off, and then repeated turning the key to the on and off position a total of 8 times within 10 seconds. After that, the doors will lock and unlock, telling you that you are ready to program your remote. Just hit the lock button on your remote and BAM! You now have a working keyless entry remote! Just in case my instructions sucked, here is the video I used to learn this process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9h5MVI5wP8 If this did not answer your question, I deeply apologize!

This will work, but you will have to pay the ford dealership to program if if you lost all the keys. Even if you have one, they have to do it. Only if you have 2 keys can you do this on your own. I bought 2 and only had one on hand, so I paid the ford dealer $50 to program the new ones. Cheaper than buying the key from ford directly. Call your dealer first and ask about having no keys to program it with.

1 fob and 1 key will work but it is necessary to have a scan tool to enable the programing to take place
