You might not be able to program your 2002 Ford Explorer remotes because you might not have turned the ignition to off and then run eight times. You must do this to reset the remote.
To reset the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) on a 2002 Ford Explorer, disconnect the vehicle's battery by removing the negative terminal for about 15 minutes. This will allow the module to clear any stored error codes and reset its functions. After the time has elapsed, reconnect the battery terminal and start the vehicle to ensure the GEM has reset properly. If issues persist, further diagnostics may be necessary.
