97 Explorer Key Fob.
Hello All
I've just bought a uk spec explorer with one working key fob. I,ve purchased another fob for the misses but i am struggling to program it to the car. I have the instructions from the ford technical hot line (switch ignition on. Wait for light to go out then switch on and off ten times , Light flashes then push button to program) but this wont work. I've tried the five times on and off and the eight times on and off. The system is a bosch rk112 and I'm at my wits end. Any ideas?

These are the instructions that have worked for me - US version, maybe the UK is not the same?
All of the remotes must be reprogrammed in order to function with the new RAP module.
To program the remotes:
1. Make sure that the anti-theft system is not armed or triggered.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN eight times within ten seconds, ending in RUN. If the RAP module has successfully entered program mode, it will lock and then unlock all doors.
3. Press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter and the doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that each keyless entry remote transmitter has been programmed.
4. If the door locks do not respond for any keyless entry remote transmitter, wait several seconds and press the button again
5. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up to 20 seconds after step 2, to exit program mode. If a key less entry remote transmitter has been programmed (or reprogrammed), the RAP module will lock and unlock all doors one last time to confirm
6. Note: when the first remote is programmed, all existing remotes are erased.
7. Repeat for each transmitter.
cycle the ignition key on and off 8 times within about 8 seconds or less .. keeping the key on, on the 8th time... doors should lock then unlock.. hit button on remote.. doors will lock them unlock... do this for all key fobs and shut key off when finished.. recheck to make sure all work after programming.
