2005 Ford Explorer Transmitter Parts Q&A

• Q: How to program the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitters on 2005 Ford Explorer?

  A: The remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter programming requires that all transmitters be entered into the programming process at once. Before proceeding activate any electronic vehicle unlocking method that uses RKE transmitter or RKE keypad (when available) and door lock control switch while keeping the driver door open. Turn the key from OFF to RUN position eight times in the ten-second timeframe and let the eighth turn end in the RUN position; successful entry into the programming mode will be noted by the doors locking and unlocking sequence. Each RKE transmitter should be programmed by pressing any button inside 20 seconds. A successful programming will result in the doors locking and unlocking. Press the button another time after waiting for a few seconds when the door locks fail to respond. Review system functions for possible issues while also making sure the RKE transmission limit has not been reached. The procedure for leaving program mode happens when users turn the key selector to OFF position or spend 20 seconds in program mode and forget to add a transmitter or reach the maximum transmitter limit allowed for programming.
