How do you program key fob on 97 ford econoline?

Answer 1

Tools needed: Hex socket driver, wire (2 short pins).

1) Remove the lower trim under the steering wheel.

It is held on by 6 hex screws.

It has ONLY 2 pins.

3) Turn the ignition switch to Aux/Accessory position.

4) Short the pins in the plug below the steering column

The locks will pulse.

5) Press the "lock" button on each remote.

The locks will pulse each time.

6) Remove the wire shorting the pins.

7) Turn the ignition switch to off.

8) Test the key fobs to lock the doors. They should now work.
