Smile Programming Remote Keyfob 97 OBS

Hi All,
Newbie here, I just bought a 97 F350 4x4 old body style. My first problem is that it has power door locks and a remote key fob but the key fob does not work. I replaced the batteries but still nothing. Does anyone know the procedure for programming these remotes? I have tried the 8 times on and off with the key with no luck.

Thanks,

Jay

We have this problem all the time at work some trucks are stubborn and the selp program mode will not work. If you look under the dash on the drivers side right near the transmission tunnel there should be a connector that if you jump it with a paperclip It locks than unlocks the doors. Press the button on the keyfob and it should start to work the doors
