Did you only have 1 remote? Try the programming sequence again.
Turn your ignition switch from "OFF" to "ON" 8 times, the locks will cycle, press any remote button and the locks should cycle again, turn switch off.

eBay is the cheapest place to get one. The programming instructions are in your owners manual. If you don't have a manual view/save/print it here:

eBay sellers sometimes list the remote for a specific model but here are the models that will interchange.

fixed, I did the key cycle and pushed the remote. It works fine now, guessing something went wrong. This may be coincidental but recently ive noticed a rather large static shock while exiting the vehicle? Even a passenger will give a yell once in awhile.

Maybe you need some of those old school "static straps"!

noticed today that 1 of my ignition wires was arching out at the firewall intermittently. surprised it wasnt throwing a check engine light. Could this have anything to do with my static/ electrical problems?

 

[ncranchero]

I guess it's possible but it's not doing your ignition system any good for sure! I get the static shock all winter when it's cold and dry from my E150.
