Keyless entry pad & keyfob problems
In our 2002 Explorer, we must have left a light on or a door ajar last weekend because the battery was dead the next morning. Well, after getting a jump, we were off and running again.
But, now neither the keyless entry nor the key fob will work. I have tried the factory code on the credit card in the manual, but it will not open the door locks. The keypad does light up though. None of the buttons on the keyfob will do anything.
Is there a reset that I need to do? Or did we blow a fuse to something that I haven't found yet?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Keyless entry pad & keyfob problems
I tried unhooking the battery cable. Left it off for a minute or so, then reconnected. Keyless entry pad and keyfob both still don't work.
When I press the first digit on the keyless entry pad, the pad lights up and the courtesy lights come on. But the factory code does not unlock the doors.
Interesting though, when you press the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons, it still locks the doors.
Any other suggestions?

Keyless entry pad & keyfob problems
We have a friend who owns the local Ford dealership. He was out walking in the neighborhood this weekend and my wife was talking with him about the problems. He jumped in the Explorer, turned the key on/off several times, and now the keyfob is back working.
As for the keyless entry on the door, he said to bring the Explorer down to the garage and he would get it back working for us.
I will try to get some details from him when we get a chance to take it in.
