How Does a Lincoln Key Fob Work?

Your Lincoln key fob is a digital key that can open and close your vehicle from a distance. It does this by sending a unique code to your vehicle that’s unique to it, meaning only key fobs programmed with the code present in your Lincoln can gain access. This is why, if you’ve lost a set of keys or are looking to get another set, it can be more difficult to do than simply replacing a physical key (which is also integrated into your Lincoln key fob, so if the digital code is malfunctioning, you can still access your Lincoln in such a way). Whether you need to give your Lincoln a new access code and get a new key due to having lost one, or are merely in need of an additional key fob, our trained technicians at Whiteoak Lincoln have you covered.

Signs Your Current Key Fob Needs Reprogramming

If you are trying to access your Lincoln with your key fob and the vehicle either isn’t responding or it takes multiple pushes of the same button to get it to do so, it’s time to get your key fob reprogrammed. A properly functioning key fob will always respond the first time you press one of its buttons, and while a delayed or completely missing response could be due to the battery in the fob being dead, if you just recently replaced the battery or test the battery and it still holds a charge, the electrical programming of the key fob is the culprit. If you lose your current key fob as well, you can get a new code for your Lincoln as a safety measure when getting a new key fob, as then the code on the lost key fob will no longer work.

Key Fob Programming Service FAQs

How often should key fob programming service be done?

Unlike other maintenance for your Lincoln vehicle which is preventative in nature, a key fob programming service is only required if you are either having issues with your current key fob, or require a new key fob for whatever reason (to replace a lost one or simply to have an additional set). Because of this, there is no interval that you need to follow for key fob programming services. Simply book a service appointment for one when you require it!

If my Lincoln vehicle isn’t responding to my key fob, can I still drive?

Because Lincoln key fobs contain integrated physical keys as well, even if the electrical, digital key is no longer working, you can still drive your Lincoln vehicle by accessing the physical key hole on the outside of the driver-side door and using the physical key in it.

Why is it called a key “fob”?

While the word fob came from the term for an ornament that either hung from a pocket watch chain or a keychain, it now refers to the name of the electronic hub of your key. The word now refers to the small nature of the key itself, given it contains both the electrical workings that power the different buttons on the fob, as well as the integrated physical key.
