I just got a 3rd key for my ford escape and I am trying to program it. I go through the steps in the manual, but it does not work! Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong, or any tips for me on what to do?
Here is the basic steps I follow: Insert 1st programmed key and turn it from 1 (off) to 3 - I leave it for a second, or two and turn if off. Insert 2nd programmed key and turn it from 1 (off) to 3 - I leave it again for a second or two and turn if off. I insert the 3rd unprogrammed key and turn it from 1 (off) to 3 - I leave it for a second, and turn if off.
I try to start it, but the theft light flashes. I have even tried leaving it in for 5 seconds, but still no go. When switching keys I try to do it as fast as I can.
Any suggestions?
Thanks! ~Rich
