1999 Explorer do indercators flash when using the remote.
I am wandering if the indercators are supposed to flash when using the remote to unlock and locking the doors. As mine do not flash when using the remote , I have owned my 1999 Explorer for six months now so I'm not sure this is normal for these vehicles.
It doesn't appear so. Here's what the factory service manual lists for the remote keyless entry:
The keyless entry remote transmitter initiates the following electronic door lock system functions:
Unlocks the driver door (if equipped with two step unlocking).
Unlocks all doors.
Locks all doors.
Enables the panic alarm.
Issues the interior lamps on (when unlocking) and off (when locking) commands to the generic electronic module (GEM).
Sounds the horn (13832) once when LOCK on keyless entry remote transmitter is pressed twice, and doors are closed.
Sounds the horn twice when LOCK on the keyless entry remote transmitter is pressed twice, and any door or the liftgate window is ajar.
Allows up to four keyless entry remote transmitters to be programmed.
The order that the transmitters are programmed into the module will set the memory seat to the corresponding position when the driver door is unlocked with the transmitter.
