When I lost one of my Ranger remotes, I had to take the replacement to the dealer and get both remotes re-programmed. The ignition cycling procedure did not work for me, and there was nothing in my owner's manual about it. Read Here.

I was told by the dealer that I had to have two programmed remotes before I could re-program them myself.
