Just bought a 97 Eddie Bauer Expedition. Wonderful vehicle! Did not come with the keyless entry remote, so I bought one on Ebay. Wondering if anyone knows how to program the remote.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oncman

 

Not sure if this will work for you or not but I just got a 2000 yesterday and the salesman had to program mine.. He just sat there with them in his hand and turn the key on and off until the door locks moved.

so it was key on, key off, key on, key off, key on, key off and he did this numerous times and I heard the locks unlock and it was set.... Really could see if he was holding the unlock button but I don't think so...

 

Perk is correct . If you search the archives, you will get the exact steps.

 

I found the following site:

It seems to have the steps required and they sound exactly like what you describe. Thanks for your help.
