3. Setup: Programming Instructions

Most compatible vehicles allow for user self-programming. However, some specific models, such as the 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis, may require programming by a dealer or an automotive locksmith. Please consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions or follow the general steps below.

3.1 General Self-Programming Steps

1. Prepare Vehicle: Enter the vehicle and ensure all doors are closed.
2. Ignition Cycle: Insert your ignition key. Turn the ignition from the OFF position to the RUN position 8 times within 10 seconds. End with the ignition in the RUN position. The door locks will cycle (lock and unlock) to confirm that the vehicle has entered programming mode.
3. Program Remote: Within 20 seconds of the door locks cycling, press any button on the new key fob remote. The door locks will cycle again to confirm successful programming of that remote.
4. Additional Remotes: If you have additional remotes (including existing ones you wish to continue using), repeat step 3 for each remote within 20 seconds of the previous remote's programming.
5. Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition to the OFF position to exit programming mode. Test all remotes to ensure they function correctly.

If you encounter difficulties or your vehicle does not respond as described, professional programming may be necessary.

2. Remove Old Battery: Note the orientation of the existing battery and gently remove it.
