how do I program a new remote key fob for a 2005 Transit van?

Lost original remote purchased new one but now need to program it to work. Owners manual has no info. Has 3 buttons, lock, unlock and rear only unlock. Have all other original keys. Van is year 2005 model 135 T350. Thanks

I heard this although I have yet to try it, but might be worth a go;

The correct and published method of programing the fob is

turn the ignition from off to on 8 times within 10 seconds ending up with the battery light (ign On) ON

the vehicle will confirm it's entry into learn mode by locking and unlocking the doors

after it's finished doing the locking bit

press any button on the fob

the vehicle will then confirm that it's learnt the code by doing the magic locking thing again Smile

when thats finished press a button on the OTHER fob

the vehicle will now cycle the locks for the 3rd time

turn off the ignition and the vehicle will cycle the locks for the 4th and last time.
