I have a 2011 MKZ. This is what worked for me. Car sat a long time unattended. Obviously my solution helps if you have a second car. Disconnect battery terminals. Charge battery full. I left the battery disconnected a few days, not sure if that is necessary or not. Changed and add new batteries in both sets of keys. Connect battery cables. I immediately got the panic horn honk, which I thought was a good sign. Put my key in ignition and turned. Stopped horn. Car started and ran normally after.

This will help you through the process of restoring the anti-theft system to the 2007 lincoln mkz, enter your car with your ignition key and remote switch and insert your key into the ignition. Turn the ignition key from "off" to "run" 8 times in 10 seconds, and finish the 8th turn in "run" position. Wait for the locks to cycle on and off automatically. Press and hold any button on your remote within 20 seconds of the 8th turn. Hold the button for as long as 20 seconds until the locks automatically click and release. Remove the key from the ignition to end the reset process.

The above 'key dance' finally worked AFTER I left the driver's door open... Jes say'n...
Does it matter if doors are open or closed when resetting?
