No if it's not broken, will have to be reprogram make sure your key still has the chip, if there a hole on top of the key the chip is gone, if that not the case, will need to be reprogram, most mobile lock smiths have the computer to reprogram your truck, good luck, hope this was very helpful.Stay away from the dealer way over $$$$.
I have had this problem here at my repair shop that we also replace the transciever because after programing one key and it still did not work , so the lock smith said that's was was bad, so while waiting for the new part he kept working with it and what fix the problem was that the system had to have two key's program to the pag computer then the truck started problem fix. no need for the new part.

The car will need to be towed to the dealer and they can reprogram it. Be sure to bring ALL of you keys so they can program them all or the others will not work. This has to be done through their PATS system on their laptop. No other way around it.
That is fine, I'm passing on informationfrom when I worked at a Ford dealership. But if someone knows another way, great. I haven't heard of it. Just to be clear I don't get money for sending you to a dealership to get your car fixed. I'm simply giving you the best and quickest, most proper way without doing damage to your vehicle.
If your key is not program to the truck, the transciever is going to pick up the wrong reading from your unprogram key and will stay in theft mode, like I said lock smith charge about $60.00 to do this, disconnecting the battery will not do this for you.
Please give it a shot and verify for me that it does. I worked at Ford and never saw this work. I hope for your sake that it does. I know how frustrating this can be.
Do you have an owner's handbook for this truck? If not email me at [email protected]

I believe i can get a new transciever becasue it is not my key that is the problem. I am not going to spend money6 on a dealership lol when I know there is a solution you just dont know what it is. I am reading further and another guy says that is a short cluster in the system, and I can check and turn off the battery and replug on. I am going to find a way because I got no money to pay for the dealership. Thanks but no thanks for the same answer that everyone says
my key is programmed man i dont need another key the lockmsith said it was fine. He told me to buy another transciever. but i dont know i that is the problem. I am wasting money on any dealer man, because I dont have the money and I in college. Will the transcieve do it yes or no man.
