Losing or damaging your car key fob can be a frustrating experience, especially when you rely on the convenience of features like keyless entry and remote start. If you own a 2019 Ford Escape and are in need of a replacement key fob, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about replacing your 2019 Ford Escape Key Fob, ensuring you get back on the road with a fully functional remote.
Why Choose an Aftermarket 2019 Ford Escape Key Fob?
When it comes to replacing your 2019 Ford Escape key fob, you have a couple of options: purchasing from a dealership or opting for an aftermarket replacement.

Programming Your 2019 Ford Escape Key Fob
Programming your new 2019 Ford Escape key fob can be straightforward, depending on your current situation:
DIY Programming (If You Have Two Existing Working Key Fobs):
If you have two previously programmed and functioning key fobs, you can easily program this new key fob yourself using the on-board programming procedure:
-
Place the new, unprogrammed key fob into the pocket located inside your center console.
-
Press the power door unlock button (either on the driver or passenger side) three times.
-
Press and release the brake pedal once.
-
Press the power door lock button (driver or passenger side) three times.
-
Press and release the brake pedal once again.
At this point, the indicator light on your Start/Stop button should begin to flash rapidly, indicating that the programming mode is active and your vehicle has recognized the presence of two programmed keys.
-
Within one minute, press the Start/Stop button. A message confirming successful programming should appear in your vehicle’s message center. If you have already programmed the maximum number of keys (four), a “MAX # OF KEYS LEARNED” message will be displayed.
-
Remove the new key fob from the center console pocket and press the “Unlock” button on the newly programmed remote to exit programming mode.
-
Test the new key fob by verifying that the remote entry functions (lock, unlock, trunk release, remote start) are working correctly and that you can start your 2019 Ford Escape with the new key.
Professional Programming (If You Do Not Have Two Working Key Fobs):
If you do not have two working key fobs, or if the DIY programming method is unsuccessful, professional programming is required. We recommend contacting a local automotive locksmith. Locksmiths typically offer more affordable programming services compared to dealerships and are often equipped to handle aftermarket key fobs. You can use online locksmith finder tools to locate a qualified professional in your area. Dealerships may sometimes refuse to program aftermarket remotes. Remember to also have your emergency insert key cut by a locksmith or dealer.
