Questions buyers ask about this Explorer key
Can I buy my own key fob and have it programmed?
Yes. Once this replacement matches the original key’s identifiers and physical layout, a qualified automotive locksmith or Ford dealer can cut and program it. Checking fitment before ordering makes the selected wholesale pack easier to put into service.
How do I program a new key for a 2013 Ford Explorer?
Ford’s 2013 Explorer owner’s guide describes owner programming of a spare integrated keyhead transmitter when two previously programmed coded keys are available. That process pairs the immobilizer and remote entry. If fewer working keys are available, use a qualified professional. Cut the blade for the vehicle as part of setup.
Where do I find the FCC ID on the original key?
Look for the “FCC ID” marking on the keyhead case or inside its battery cover. Compare it with CWTWB1U793 here, then confirm part number, blade and all four buttons before selecting the pack size.
Which pack size should I choose?
Choose the quantity that suits your shop’s planned jobs or inventory: 2, 3, 5, 10 or 25 identical keys. The product selector shows the current price for each available pack.
Third-party aftermarket product. Ford names and part references identify compatibility; the product is not manufactured by or affiliated with Ford.
Before you order: FCC ID CWTWB1U793
Which version do I need?
CWTWB1U793 remote keys are shared across many Ford and Lincoln models, in 3-button and 4-button layouts, with a 315 MHz remote and a 4D-63 chip. They only work with turn-key ignitions, not push-to-start. Match the buttons and part number of your original key.
Can I program it myself?
Sources disagree: some describe on-board programming with existing keys, others require a locksmith or dealer. Ask a locksmith to confirm for your vehicle before you order.
