How to Program the Remotes for a 1999 Ford Taurus

Programming 1999 Taurus keyless entry transmitters takes less than five minutes.

Programming your 1999 Ford Taurus key fob remote control transmitter for keyless entry is a task any Taurus owner should be able to do in less than five minutes. All you need to successfully program your remote is your car key and all of your key fob remotes. You can program up to two remotes with this process, so you can gain access to your vehicle with a spare in case you lose the first remote. If you haven't ever programmed your Jetta's remote before, do not worry. The process is straightforward. You can start using your 1999 Taurus key fob remote(s) in no time.

Things You'll Need

• Car key

Instructions

1. Turn your car key forward in the ignition from the "off" position to the "run" position eight times in less than 10 seconds. The last time that you turn the key to "run" you will hear the doors cycle, which indicates that the transponder is in its programming mode.

2. Press any of the buttons on the Taurus' remote within 20 seconds. You will hear the door cycle once again.

3. Press any of the buttons on the second remote that you are programming. The doors will confirm the programming by cycling again.

4. Turn the car key back to the "off" position to exit the car's programming mode. Your Taurus' remote(s) will now be ready to be used.
