Remote / key fob programming

Programming a remote on this Ford resets every remote for the vehicle, so you reprogram them all together. There are two common methods — try Method A first, and if it doesn't work use Method B. Do not press the brake pedal at any point.

Key programming

You can add a new key to this Ford yourself if you already have two keys that start the engine. The new key must be cut first, and it has to be a genuine key — a cloned hardware-store key won't work.

Ford F-150 Heritage key fob battery

Your Ford F-150 Heritage key fob uses a CR2032 3V lithium coin cell. A fresh one typically lasts 3–5 years.

How to replace the battery

1 Find the seam or small slot on the edge of the remote.
2 Twist a coin or small flathead in the slot to split the case open.
3 Remove the old coin cell and note the + side.
4 Fit the new battery with the + side matching, then close the case.
5 Press a button to confirm the LED lights, then test at the car.

Battery tips

Use a fresh, name-brand 3V lithium cell — bargain cells drain quickly.
Try not to touch both faces of the new battery; skin oils shorten its life.
If the remote still doesn't work after a new battery, it may need re-syncing or programming.
