So, you’re cruising along with a reprogramming job and you lose communication with the vehicle. What’s worse, you haven’t completed the key relearn yet. Now what do you do? Ron from New Jersey did a bunch of research and scrambling when this happened to him while reprogramming a 2011 Ford Edge. Here summarizes the dilemma: “Here’s the problem.
