- 94 XLT 4x4 Exploder
I lost my keys or mislaid my keys on my 99 XLT. Finally, after 4 weeks I called out a locksmith. $154. new key reprogramed a new fob.
I found my original set the next day. Go figure. Locksmith said it is common. Where were they? hanging on a tree next to the gate. I hang them there on the fly. Forgot. Oh well, now I have two keys for the 99.
OK, so I had 4 new fobs. I did the 8 times on the 99 where I programmed in two new fobs. I have a 01 XLS.
I tried the same thing on the XLS. 8 times. nothing.
So is it safe to assume the XLS does not have a key fob security system from the factory?
