The 2001 Ford F-150 comes with a key that has a special computer chip for security. This chip is linked to the vehicle's VIN and ignition, meaning only the original key can start the truck unless a new key is programmed. When replacing the ignition, any existing keys must either be replaced or reprogrammed to match the new ignition's chip. To program a spare key for your F-150, insert the original key into the ignition and switch between the "on" and "off" positions quickly without starting the truck. Then, within 5 seconds, insert the spare key and repeat the process. If done correctly, the truck's "theft indicator" light will flash three times and turn off, confirming successful programming.
