How to Program a 2005 Mercury Sable Ignition Chip Key Transponder
Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:
### Programming with Two Recognized Transmitters:
1. **Prepare Recognized Transmitters:**
– Place the two recognized transmitters in the rear cupholder in the center console.
2. **Access Driver Door Handle:**
– Remove the key lock cylinder cap on the driver door handle.
3. **Initiate Programming Mode:**
– Insert the vehicle key of the new transmitter into the key lock cylinder on the driver door handle.
– Turn the key to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds.
– The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display “READY FOR REMOTE #2, 3, 4, or 5, 6, 7, or 8”.
4. **Replace Transmitter:**
– Replace one of the recognized transmitters with the new transmitter.
– Place the new transmitter in the rear cupholder in the center console.
5. **Program Transmitter:**
– Press ENGINE START/STOP.
– Once the transmitter is learned, the DIC will indicate readiness to program the next transmitter.
6. **Repeat for Additional Transmitters:**
– Remove the transmitter from the transmitter pocket and press Lock or Unlock.
– Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each additional transmitter.
– When all additional transmitters are programmed, press and hold ENGINE START/STOP for twelve seconds to exit programming mode.
### Programming without Currently Recognized Transmitters:
