can't program 2013 keyless entry

[artaura]

I located the factory code for my 2013 Edge Sport (on the label stuck to the fuse box) but have not been able to change the code to my personal code. I think I'm following the correct process, beginning with the doors in locked position:

1. enter factory code 

2. press 1/2 key briefly

3. enter personal code

4. press 1/2 key for two seconds

5. nothing happens

 

What am I doing wrong?

Does the factory code actually work?  Sometimes the digits are backwards.

 

Did you try your new personal code after programming?

Think you may have glossed over the correct procedure. I did the same thing first-time I tried. Try by following these directions exactly:

1. Enter the factory-set code.
2. Press the 1•2 on the keypad within five seconds.

3. Enter your personal 5-digit code. You must enter each number within five seconds of each other.
4. For memory recall feature, enter the sixth digit 1•2 to store driver 1 settings or 3•4 to store driver 2 settings.
5. The doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that programming is complete.

 

Example: assume your factory code is 12345 and your personal code is 11335.

Then enter: 12345113351 one after the other and it should take.
