This happened right after my wife left the key in the "on" position and ran down the battery to nothing. I had to jump start the truck and this problem occured right after.
Any ideas??

After an exhaustive search of the Internet and a rabid desire to avoid the local Ford Service Garage, I have resolved my Keyless Entry Problem! The cost was a whopping $ZERO dollars too. I simply disconnected the negative side of the vehicle battery, then turned the headlight switch to on position(to assist in draining any capacitors in the electrical system). After 10-15 minutes I went out and turned off the headlight switch, then re-connected the battery and the remote now works! Amazing. Something to do with setting the computer back to default. After almost a year of unlocking with the key I can now use my remote again. Just have to buy another key/remote to replace the spare I lost! arrrgh.
