Do you have the owners manual for the truck? If not, you can get a pdf version of it here.
https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/maintenance.asp

Click on "Owners Manuals" on the menu down the left side of the window and follow the prompts.


The programming instructions are at the bottom of page 46. Follow the instructions given there. If the truck responds as described, then it does indeed have keyless entry. Good luck!

I just converted my 98 to have factory power windows/locks/keyless etc and according to my factory ford manual wiring diagrams there were 98's that only had power locks and windows without the remote antitheft personality module that controls the keyless - so you may not. if you look under the dash above and to the left of the brake pedal there is a module box there for the keyless - or you can just cycle your ignition (don't remember how many time) on and off a set number of times and your doors will lock and unlock entering the programming mode for keyless.

I believe you cycle it 8 tomes and on the 8th time you should hear the doorlocks click. I have the printed instructions at home but will not be there til next weekend. Try that and let us know how it works out.

Correct. After the 8th time & the locks cycle just press any button on the remote, the locks will cycle and turn off the ign ........done. Here, just read this thread.
