Step-by-Step Guide to Programming Your 2017 Ford Fusion Key Fob
Before you begin, ensure you have two already programmed intelligent access keys with you inside the vehicle, along with your new, unprogrammed key fob. This procedure is designed for adding spare keys; you need existing keys to initiate the programming sequence. Also, it’s crucial to perform all steps within 30 seconds of starting to avoid the process timing out. If you make a mistake, wait at least one minute before trying again.

Prepare the Key Fobs and Backup Slot: Start by removing the emergency key blade from both of your existing programmed key fobs and the new key fob. Next, locate the backup slot for key programming. This is found inside your center console’s cup holder. Remove the rubber covering at the bottom of the cup holder to expose the backup slot.
