Keyless entry
I just purchased my first explorer. It is a 1997 4WD automatic. I
have a (possibly dumb) question about keyless entry. The vehicle seems to have manual locks. Each door and the rear must be hand locked/unlocked and there is no unlock button for all doors. However when I went through the owners manual in the back I found a plastic card from Ford that refers to the keyless entry number for my vehicle. Is it possible that this vehicle is keyless entry capable already, and if so how do I get a keyless entry dongle for my Explorer? i realize that being a used car, it's possilbe this is not the original owners manual/info but thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks, Chris |

Do you have the keypad? FM |

No keypad. This vehicle doesn't have power windows or mirrors (does
have cruise) so I assumed it didn't have keyless either...until I saw that keycode. -Chris |

Keyless entry
If the car doesn't have power locks, it will not have keyless entry...

Keyless entry
I also bought a used 1996 Explorer that has power locks. No keypad.
Is it possible I have keyless entry? How do I check? thanks!! On 28 Nov 2005 09:24:12 -0800, "ChrisC" > wrote: >I just purchased my first explorer. It is a 1997 4WD automatic.

Someone suggested a procedure that was a combination of turning the ignition key and pushing the door lock button in a certain sequence but I got the impression from the owner's manual that it was for power seat memory and not remote codes. I don't have power seats. |

I don't have power seats. If there are no electric door solenoids to lock/unlock the doors, how can you even consider the posibility of remote operation. Ford doesn't use PFM only airplanes use PFM! |
