Key Fob Replacement Fits for CWTWB1U793 Ford F-150 2004-2014 F-250 F-350 2004-2016 F-450 Flex 2009-2017 Explorer 2001-2015 Escape Ranger 2001-2011 Fusion Econoline Mercury Keyless Entry Remote Control

I still have both of my original F-150 keys, but wanted to go ahead and get a spare set before I lose one, as you need 2 keys to program a new one (in the vehicle, without a dealer or locksmith).I took these to the local hardware store to be cut to fit, where they advised me that they couldn't guarantee that they would work. But, as they only charged me $2.59 to cut the pair to match my original, I was certainly willing to take the chance. I took them home and they fit fine.Programming to the vehicle was easy, just as the included instructions say. However the instructions didn't address programming the door lock functions, which has to be done separately, but is easily found on YouTube.As I recall, you insert one of the original keys into the ignition switch, and without starting the vehicle, you cycle the key on and off rapidly nine times. On the last time, the door locks will cycle. You push the lock button on the new key, and the locks will cycle again (you hear all of this happening). The lock/unlock buttons on your new key are now programmed and functional. It's actually all pretty quick and easy.I use mine regularly, alternating between the original Ford key, and this replacement, and they continue to work perfectly.

Paid a locksmith $50 total to cut both keys and then programmed them myself in my 2007 F150 Lariat in about 5 minutes. I used ChatGPT to give me the programming process and it worked perfect. I will outline it here for other F150's users. You have to program each key to start the ignition, then do a separate process to program all remote clickers to work. You have to have all the clickers you own present (4 max) at the time you program the remotes as it otherwise deactivates any that are not present.You MUST have two prior working keys to program a new key, if you only have one you have to go to a locksmith/dealer to programming using their special computer. My locksmith charges $80 for cut & programming per key).Ignition programming1) Put existing key #1 in ignition and turn it to on for 3-5 seconds and then remove.2) Put existing key #2 in ignition and turn it to on for 3-5 seconds and then remove.3) Put newly cut Amazon key in ignition and turn to on and leave for 6-10 seconds while it programs. Then remove.4) Test new Amazon by attempting to start the engine, it should work immediately.Remote Clicker Programming1) Enter Programming Mode: With the doors unlocked, turn any working key from Off to On 8 times within 10 seconds. So back and forth fast, ending with the key in the On position. The door locks will cycle lock then unlock to signal the car is in programming mode.2) Press any button on your remote within 20 seconds of entering programming mode. The doors will cycle lock/unlock again to signify it's complete. Do this again for every remote you on, each within 20 seconds of the previous. If you leave any keys out they will stop functioning, you can't just program the new ones, you have to do all remotes at once.3) Remove the key. You can test all remotes now and confirm they all function.

Dealer programming works great

DOESN'T WORK ON 2011 FORD F450The keys themselves appear to be quality. I believe the problem is my 2011 Ford f450. You can easily program the door locks to work, you will not be able to get it to work in the ignition to start the truck. You cannot program these yourself, nor can it be completed on their website per their instructions so the keys we'll start your vehicle. They want me to purchase a programmer from them for an additional $70.Best I understand, on the 2011 Ford 250 and larger, you need to already have two working keys to complete the programming without purchasing additional equipment.This isn't the fault of the people who created this key, but it is a security thing that Ford has come up with.I've now spent hours and hours watching videos and researching online. This appears to be an issue with certain number of Ford trucks and their PATS security system.

UPDATE 5/26/25 - I just wanted to update on these keys. We've been using them for a couple months shy of a year now and they still work great, but I think it's worth noting that that little white lock and unlock graphics rubbed off after only 4-5 months of use. We just know instinctively by now which button is which, but it's something worth noting if that's important to you. Also, it's not necessarily a design flaw but we have noticed that we accidentally push the panic button WAY more often on these keys than manufacturer keys. It's just in a spot where you often grab the key to twist and pull it out of the ignition. It's annoying for sure but we're used to it now and can avoid it better than we could at first. Take that for what it's worth!I was highly dubious that these keys would work but I’m here to tell you they do! First order of business was to get them cut which I did at Home Depot (they didn’t charge me anything).After being cut, they can open the doors and turn on the radio but that’s about it. Next step was to program the transponder to start the car. I couldn’t do that myself because it requires TWO original keys and we only had one, so I took it to a local locksmith and they were able to program both keys to start the car using their machine thingy in under 10 minutes. Next step was to program the fob buttons which I could’ve done myself but they offered to do for me so they did that as well. The locksmith only charged $30! Most places (especially the dealership) would’ve charged many times that much.As long as you know what these keys need to have done before they can be used, they work great! 3 steps; cut, program transponder to start the car, program the fob buttons to lock and unlock the car. A locksmith should be able to do them all.Hope this helps somebody else!
