reprogramming a key fob for an 04 explorer

[ReinIse]

i had an 02 explorer, wrecked it, got an 04 explorer, didnt come with a key fob but i still have the key fob from my 02 explorer, anyone know how i can reprogram the 02 key fob to work on the 04?

if this has already been discussed, please link me to the thread.

I don't know for sure that the fob will work (I assume it would) but the method to program it is:

Put the key in the ignition and cycle between the on and off position until the locks pulse by themselves. At this point hit the unlock button on ALL remotes that you have otherwise any previously programmed remotes will no longer work. When you hit unlock it should cause the locks to cycle again, this means that it worked. Then I *believe* you cycle the ignition to on and off again to exit.

Hope this helps!

the amount of times to turn key on/off is 10.
the rest is pretty accurate at turn 10, you'll hear the locks activate, then use the key fob(s) to unlock...
