Programming a Single Key

 This is what I have  a Jeep Liberty 2011 low miles mint with one working Key fob because the other key chip they used to hide under the dash for my electric start  , so now with one working Key Has anyone proved out this  procedure will work with one new cut  Fob Key that's not programmed yet .should I take a chance to do this?

A handful of manufacturers will allow you to program a single key, even if you don’t have a key that works. Keep in mind that you’ll still need to have the key cut to fit the ignition, which means you’ll need to provide proof of ownership to a locksmith.

That said, the process is much simpler than programming a second or third key:


  • Insert the key into the ignition, and turn it to the on position. Don’t turn on the engine, only the electronics.
  • Leave the key in this position for 10 minutes and 30 seconds, and then turn it off.
  • Turn the key back on, and wait for additional 10 minutes and 30 seconds before turning it off again.
  • Repeat the process for a third time.
  • Return the key to the on position, and it will program the key.
  • Test your new key by turning on the ignition


Answer this question I have this problem too

Honestly the easiest and best way is to find a locksmith and they can program a second FOB for about $50—$90 (depending on the FOB cost.
