My 2000 Ford Windstar Keyless entry remote stopped working (it was also the remote to open the passenger side door). I replaced the battery in the remote, but that did not solve the problem. Does it need to be reprogrammed, and if so, how?

Programming

NOTE: All keyless entry remote transmitters must be programmed at the
same time.

To program (or reprogram) the keyless entry remote transmitters into the RAP
module, perform the following steps:

1. Make sure that the anti-theft system is not armed or triggered.

2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN five times within ten seconds,
ending in RUN. If the RAP module has successfully entered program mode, it will
lock and then unlock all doors.

3. Press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter, and the doors will
lock and then unlock to confirm that each keyless entry remote transmitter has
been programmed.

4. If the door locks do not respond for any keyless entry remote transmitter,
wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to
respond, refer to Diagnosis and Testing in this section.

5. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up to five minutes
after step 2, to exit program mode. If a keyless entry remote transmitter has
been programmed (or reprogrammed), the RAP module will lock and unlock all doors
one last time to confirm.

Entry Code

The system (permanent) entry code is located in three places:

on the owner's wallet code card (in glove compartment)



electronically accessible by requesting the
remote anti-theft personality module KEYCODE PID on the New Generation
Star (NGS) Tester


on the remote anti-theft personality module housing

press any button on the keyless entry keypad (14A626).

Enter the permanent code on the keyless entry keypad.



Press button 1/2 within 5 seconds of last digit of permanent code. (This alerts system to accept temporary code.)



Enter alternate five-digit code. Do not exceed 5
seconds between entering digits or between pressing the 1/2 key and
entering the first digit.
