Keyless entry keypad installation instructions for C-Max

[dtorres]

I purchased the keyless entry keypad add-on accessory from Ford for my 2013 C-Max and was having a hard time programming it to the car by following the included instructions. After some trial and error and Google searches I found the right combination to program it. This method is for an SE model that has a key and ignition. Not sure how the process works on the SEL model with keyless entry.

 

1. Close all doors and buckle the front safety belts.

 

2. Use the door lock control switch to electronically unlock all door locks.

 

3. Turn the ignition from the OFF to RUN position 4 times in rapid succession (within 6 seconds), with the fourth turn ending in OFF.

 

NOTE: If no action is taken within 10 seconds after a transmitter has been programmed, the programming sequence ends.

 

NOTE: Despite the instructions the door locks will not lock and unlock to signal the vehicle is ready to be programmed.

 

4. Within 10 seconds, press any button on the RKE transmitter to be programmed. After the first RKE transmitter is programmed, press a button

on each subsequent RKE transmitter to be programmed (each within 10 seconds of each other). Finally press the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons on the

keypad at the same time for one to two seconds then release them.

 

NOTE: Despite what the keyless entry keypad instructions say the door locks will not cycle locked then unlocked after programming each

trasmitter. On the C-Max there will be no notification after each device is programmed.

 

NOTE: If programming mode is exited and no key is learned, all keys (if one or two were programmed) are erased for RKE transmitter operation.

 

5. Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs:

- The key transitions to the RUN position.

- 10 seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was programmed.

- The maximum number (8) of RKE transmitters have been programmed.

 

6. Check the operation of the transmitter. If the door locks do not respond for the programmed RKE transmitter(s), wait several seconds and press

the button again.

Thanks!

Is there anyone out there who has tried this with the Pushbutton Ignition?
