I purchased 2 FOB's at different times. Both worked jusrt fine.
If you buy a 2nd, when you program it, you have to program the other again.

Good Luck

Got it in the mail today, programmed it in about 5 seconds! Works perfectly. Not bad for $11.

Are you talking about the keyless entry module (behind the panel under the steering wheel) or the key fob?

Here is a thread with the picture from under the module (picture on page 2): https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...module+picture

There was another that showed the label on the front, but I can't find it now. If you pull the lower trim panel under the sterring column, to the right of the column behind the location the storage whole in thee panel would be, there will be a module with the label clearly visible that says keyless module on it.

I would imagine early-mid 90s. My 1993 Mustang GT did NOT have keyless. It takes about 5 minutes to take off, look and reattach the panel under the steering wheel. You need a T15, if I remember right.

So I look and looked, I don't have the key less modal in my truck. I went to the the yard and did find one, but it doesn't look like my wiring harness has the correct connectors just sticking out waiting for the modal. Has anyone installed a modal that wasn't in there truck to start out with with any success?

I pulled all of the keyless entry parts from my 95, and when I opened up the dash on the 96. Everything was there. I pulled out the keyless module and popped the one from my 95 in... and bingo, my old keyfob worked.

Skyfox,
So your saying the 96 didnt have it. But you had the wiring for it already. So al you did was plug in your remote entry box to the prewired plug under the dash? And it worked.

I hope my 93 Bronco is already pre wired. I dont believe i saw the module when i was looking under there.

Would be nice to go to a junkyard and buy the module and plug it in.

I would imagine that most every vehicle is already "wired" for it (saves costs). You probably just need the module and remote and you'll be good to go.
