I ordered key fobs from ebay and as long as they are the same type, they can be programmed per the instructions it came with. I believe you can use the one's from the taurus. Google the instructions and it should work.

I have keyless entry with 2 fobs but I would like to add a keypad as I also found the keylock on the drivers side does not work. I may go to the dealer and see about the stick-on keypad option. Any idea how much they cost??? I just thought of something...if the keyfob does not unlock the doors when the truck is running will the keypad?? It does on my wifes car, it is factory and it did on my Expy, also factory. Just wondering??

All...I am wondering. I just purchased a 99 F-250 Lariat (7.3L). No key fob. How do I check if the truck has keyless entry? The on-off x8 instruction seems to indicate how one might program a fob--what is the test for "no fob" situations? The truck has low mileage, and I'm thinking the original owner would likely have had the keyless entry, if it were an option (as opposed to standard equipment). Thank you.

Do the program key fob steps. When you complete the 8 times on and off if you have keyless entry your power door locks with lock and then unlock. If not, no keyless.

Sorry to bump an old thread,
But after reading many threads about checking to see if a truck came with keyless entry (cycling key on/off 8x within 10secs and if equipped power locks lock/unlock.)
A question has come to mind,
Since my 99 XLT is the 7.3 PSD, will cycling the key on/off 8x potentially damage any GP equipment?
Thanks

Okay, another dumb question;
When you say turn the key on/off 8x,
Is it;
On/off is 1
On/off 2 etc?
Or is it,
On is 1
Off is 2
On is 3
Etc?
Reason I ask this is because I used on/off as 1 but when I get to the about the 4th "set" of on/off I'm hearing my power locks pop (lock/unlock).

So Just to clarify, you move from the "lock" position #1, where you inserted the key, to the first position forward #2 "off."
Then you move the key starting at the "off, position #2" up to the third position, "on" position #3, 8 times back and forth, ending in the "on" position within ten seconds. The doors will then unlock and lock to conform program mode.
Within 20 secs, you then program the keyless entry by pressing 7*8 and 9*0 at the same time to re-program and again the doors will lock and unlock to confirm.
Within 20 seconds, you can now press any button on a remote to program. If more then one remote, all need to be activated within that 20 secs by, again pushing any button on that specific remote. Each time any remote is activated, the unlock/lock feature will again open/close to verify.
You then turn the key to the "off" #1 position.
You do need to program the remote keyless entry and any key fobs within those 20 secs or you will have to repeat the complete procedure.
Start at off, not on.

I had the same dilemma when I got my truck. I bought an OEM keyless system only to get build sheets that showed keyless was already installed. Yes, I did it a little bassakwards. I still have the OEM keyless kit here if you end up not having it and want it. It would only require a small donation to help offset my own financial crisis.
