- 2002 Explorer XLT
Hi everyone, I got my first Explorer, very good price but a few issues. The truck only came with one key, no remotes. I purchased a new remote but cannot get it to programme!
When I can get the truck to enter programme mode (locks cycle) by flicking the key on and off eight times so I know that is fine...but nothing happens when i press any button on the remote.
I have had the FOB tested and it works fine...
Have disconnected the battery as seen in some threads...no difference..(only the radio now needs a code which I do not have!!!)
I have locked and unlocked the doors first, doors are all shut, radio off, no foot on the brake...
What am I missing???
ALSO...the emission light on the dash stays on...doesn't sound like there is a hole or anything wrong with the exhaust...HOWEVER, after the battery was disconnected for a while the emission light went off for a while, sadly the following day it returned.
Any help welcomed...Explorer is NZ new not sure if that will change anything...
