Ok check this out. I have a 1998 F-150 50th Anni. Edition. I did not get a keychain remote for the locks when i got the truck. But I found my old keychain remote that worked with my 2000 Expedition that I had. Is it possible for my old Exp. remote to made compatible with my F-150 locks? Can they do this at the dealership?

 

i dont think so. dont think they added keyless entry until a later year

 

Your right I think it was either 1999 or 2000 model when they started that lovely keyless entry. Oh well, I guess I'll have to go aftermarket. Thanks

 

Read the captions of these diagrams.

 

Steve you are the man! Knowledge is power. Thanks! I am going to try programing soon as possible. Thanks again man.

 

Check your owners manual starting on page 46, on programming additional remotes for your truck.
It describes the process for adding remotes to the RAP, if installed.

If you don't have an owners manula, you can download one from :

1998 has 2 programming methods noted , cycle 5 times in 10 seconds or cycle 8 times in 10 seconds to erase all, and reprogram all remotes.
Both the cycle 5 times, and cycle 8 times say all remotes must be programmed at the same time ? Got me, I have never seen the cycle 5 times procedure until checking the 1998 OM

 

Thanks for everyones help. I just programed 2 keyless entry remotes to my truck. They work prefectly. Now everyone on my street wants me to do the same to their Expd. and F-150 trucks and or cars. Thanks again I owe you guys a case of beer each.

 

Great! Run up to VA & send me some Old Dominion ROOT beer!
