Keyless Entry?

How do I know if my 1999 F150 4x4 Sport Xcab originally came with keyless entry? It has all the power options. I bought it last month and the previous owner had it for 3 years and he said he never had any fobs. Any help would be much appreciated

4. If you don't know how to reprogram your remote key FOB's, it goes something like this:
Start with your ignition key in the locked postion.
Turn the key to the off position and make a mental note of the angle the key is at.
Begin turning the key to the "On" position and say "1".
Turn the key back to the "off" position and back to "On" and say "2".
Keep doing this until you reach "8" with the key in the "On" position and leave the key in the "On" position.
The dorr lock will cycle down and up to indicate you are ready to program the Fob's.
Within 10 seconds press either the door "lock" or "unlock" button on the Fob. The locks will again cycle to indicate the transmitter has been programmed in.
Continue with any additional Fob's you may wish to use (up to 4)
Turn the key to the off position.
Only the Fob's programmed at this session will be active - the lost one will no longer work. If you find it later on, all Fob's will have to be rentered at the same time to make it work again.

I have a 97 150 XLT . How can I tell if it has the RKE system ? I have cycled the key to no avail. I was told that there was some wires under the dash that had to be shorted . Where is the RKE module located ? My build date is 2/96 Thanks

There is one thing you need to do before turning the key.

Close the door and then unlock it electronically, it can be with a key fob, or with the unlock button on the door, but it needs to be done before turning the key on 8 times and stopping in the on position.

I just bought a key fob on line and programmed it a couple days ago.
