what is the exact way to reset the remote after a battery change for the keyless entry with alarm? tried the on/off thing...didnt work. might have messed it up but i doubt it. i heard something about shorting out the module but i dont wanna try that just yet. anyone?

 

moved to 4.6

 

oh thanks, i just thought more people came to off topic thats all. no one answered me last time in 4.6

 

someone knows, come on guys. i know someone here has reset their remotes.

 

When I changed my battery last week, I didnt have to reset the remote...Just changed the battery and everything worked fine.

 

i got a new remote off ebay, got this with it. I have also hered from other that this is the way it is done.

94-98 FORD MUSTANG


1. Remove the inner trunk panel on the drivers side of the car and
look for a large plastic box with a gray plug with 2 connectors.
It will have a GRAY/YELLOW & WHITE/YELLOW wires
2. Turn ignition key to the run position. Short the 2 connectors
with a screwdriver and the locks will lock and unlock to
confirm you are in programming mode

3. press any button on transmitter==locks will lock and unlock to
confirm acceptance of programming code.
4. At this time do the same for any additional transmitters
5. Turn ignition off and locks will cycle again to indicate end of
programming mode

 

hey thanks man. i heard that somewhere else i just wasnt sure which plug to short but now i know exactly which. thanks!

 

Does that actually work because my remotes do not work either...

 

At our shop all we do is insert key into ignition with remote on key chain and turn it on and off not run position several times until the doors lock and unlock this should program new remotes.

 

This is for the '02 Mustang GT:

Do this:

Have your remote(s) with you in the car.

Put the key into the ignition, and turn off-on 8 times quickly.

The car will cycle the door locks to tell you it's ready to program your remotes (be sure the ignition
ends up in "on". If you go too fast, you'll get the locks to cycle and might end up with the key in
"off". If so, do it again until you end up in "on" after the locks cycle).

Press any key on each remote (I used the "lock" button) that you wish to program. Do not
turn the ignition key from "on" to "off" until you are done with all remotes (maximum of 4) or you'll
have to start over.

Turn the ignition off.

Check your remotes.

If it didn't work for all remotes, do it again.

Easy, takes less than 30 seconds to reprogram all your remotes (including new ones).
