So after finally finding out the problem with my explorer not starting last week being a bad negative connection to the battery & it being replaced, she starts with no problems at all (touch wood lol)
However, my keyless entry is still not working. Batteries have been replaced...and apparently there is no simple reset that I can locate.
If you know of anything that I can try to troubleshoot this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.:salute:

You mean the keyring remote, or the panel on the door? My panel hasn't been working for the longest time, it's annoying, lol...
 






if its the panel, replace it. if its the keyring, try reprograming it, if that doesnt work you can pick up a couple off ebay or a dealership for very cheap!(i got two WITH uncut keys for about 25 bucks). and then program them instead. keep us informed!!
 






It is the keyring remote that isn't working, for my locks, tailgate, theft alarm & command start...
Don't know how to reprogram it, was hoping someone here could tell me.
 






According to this site:

Replacing lost transmitters
If a remote transmitter has been lost and you would like to remove it from the vehicle’s memory, or you would like to purchase additional remote transmitters and have them programmed to your vehicle:

² Take all your vehicle’s transmitters to your dealer for programming, or
² Perform the programming procedure yourself

Programming remote transmitters
It is necessary to have all (maximum of four — original and/or new) of your remote transmitters available prior to beginning this procedure.

To program the transmitters yourself:

² Place the key in the ignition and turn from 2 (LOCK) to 3 (OFF) and cycle between 3 (OFF) and 4(ON) eight times in rapid succession (within 10 seconds) with the eighth turn ending in the 4 (ON) position. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that programming mode has been entered.
² Within 20 seconds, program a remote transmitter by pressing any button on a transmitter. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that the remote transmitter has been programmed. (If more than 20 seconds pass before pressing a remote transmitter button, the programming mode will exit and the procedure will have to be repeated.)
² Repeat the previous step to program additional remote transmitters. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has been programmed.
² When you have completed programming the remote transmitters, turn the ignition to 3 (OFF). Again the doors will lock/unlock to confirm programming has been completed.
