Keyless Entry Remotes & Fobs for Ford Fusion

Ford Fusion Car Keyless Entry Remotes and Fobs

When you come out of the grocery store with your hands full, theres nothing better than being able to give a quick push to the unlock button on your remote and have all your Fusions doors unlocked. For both safety and convenience, a remote or fob gives you peace of mind that a regular door lock just cant provide. Having a transmitter in good working condition, then, is essential to getting the most out of your Ford Fusion.

When searching for a new key fob for your Fusion, its important to consider what automatic functions you have on your vehicle. The simplest of keyless entry remotes will have a lock button, an unlock button, and a button to activate the horn. If those are the features you have on your Fusion, then youre good to go. If you have other features, such as remote start, make sure you select a keyless entry remote that has a button to provide those functions as well.

Contemporary Fusions have the key and the keyless remote merged into one unit. If this is true of your Fusion, then its vital that you get a remote key fob that has a built-in key as well in order to be able to properly program the key with your vehicle. Original Equipment Manufacturer, or OEM, key fobs as well as aftermarket key fobs are available, and all can be programmed to function with your Fusion.

When you receive your new keyless entry remote, youll need to program it to work with your Fusion. The basic steps are as follows:

• Insert a key into the ignition and turn it from OFF to RUN eight times. This must be done within 10 seconds of beginning.
• Within 20 seconds of completing the first step, press any button on the keyless entry remote you want to program. The door locks will cycle to confirm programming. Then, you can turn the ignition to OFF to end programming.

To ensure you have access to all the convenient features of your key fob whenever you need them, proper maintenance of your keyless entry remote is important to incorporate into your car care routine.

• Keep your remote separate: Whether its in your purse or a pants pocket, its important to keep the key fob from being pressed on by other items you are carrying around. Constant pressure could cause the keys on the fob or its battery to wear out prematurely.
• Keep it comfortable: The batteries in your Fusions remote can be run down quickly by exposure to excessive heat or cold. Therefore, its important to have your remote key fob with you so the batteries stay at a near-constant temperature.
• Clean it as necessary: The rubber buttons on your Fusions remote will inevitably collect dust and dirt over time. To keep this debris from getting under the buttons and causing a malfunction, regularly clean them using a damp cloth. If debris does become lodged under them, you can clear it out using a can of compressed air.
