1. Have all of your key fobs present. You'll need to program all of your key fobs at the same time, so make sure you have all of them on hand before you begin.
2. Enter your vehicle. Put your key in the ignition and press the "Start/Stop" button to lock the doors. (If your Taurus/Sable has a keypad on the driver's door, make sure all the doors are closed when you press Lock) Turn on the interior lights.
3. Press and hold the "Unlock" button on your driver's door for eight seconds. The horn will chirp twice to indicate that you are in programming mode.
4. Wait for 10 seconds. The horn will chirp once, indicating that you have entered the next stage of the programming process.
5. Hold down the "Lock" button on your key fob for three seconds. The horn will chirp to indicate that your key fob has been programmed.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional key fob you want to program.
7. Unlock your car door and test your new key fobs. Make sure they can lock and unlock the doors and open the trunk. If they don't work, repeat the programming steps.
