is this a stock ford unit that came on the truck or is it aftermarket? I would run through the process of programming the remote to the truck. I know it's easy on my 00 mountaineer, but I've never had to do it on my gen 9 trucks that came with factory remote lock/unlock.

Maybe the key fob has a dead battery. Autozone usually has a battery tester where you push the button and it tells you if you remote works.

Sorry I didn't thoroughly read your post. Maybe the main unit is not properly connected.

Here is the correct Programming Procedure for your truck:

Section 01-14B: Door Lock Control System, Electronic 1995 Bronco/F-Series Workshop Manual

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transmitter Programming
NOTE: The remote entry features will not function when the ignition switch (11572) is in the RUN or ACCESSORY position.

To unlock the driver's door, press the UNLOCK button on the transmitter (which is programmed into the remote entry receiver module) once. This will also disarm the anti-theft system, if equipped.

To unlock all doors, press the UNLOCK button on the transmitter twice, the second depression must be within five seconds of the first UNLOCK depression.

If more than five seconds have elapsed since the first depression of the UNLOCK button, pressing the UNLOCK button again will only unlock the driver's door.

To turn on interior lamps (13776), press either UNLOCK or PANIC.

To lock all doors, press LOCK button on the transmitter once. This will also arm the anti-theft system, if equipped.

To confirm that doors have locked, press LOCK button again, within five seconds of the first depression. This will beep the horn (13832), flash the parking lamps and lock all doors again.

To activate the personal security alarm, press the red PANIC button. The horn will beep and parking lamps (13201) will flash for a maximum of two minutes, forty-five seconds.

To deactivate the personal security alarm, press the red PANIC button again or turn the ignition switch ON.

NOTE: The remote entry receiver module erases all previous transmitters from memory when the transmitters are programmed or re-programmed. The remote entry receiver module can store up to four transmitters in memory.

To program (or re-program) transmitter(s) into the remote entry receiver module, perform the following steps:

Turn ignition switch to ON or ON/ACCESSORY position and momentarily short the two terminals of the Program Connector (C4) (a two-pin connector taped to the wire assembly connected to the remote entry receiver module, approximately 6 inches from the remote entry receiver module). All doors should lock then unlock. Remove shorting pin.
Press any button on transmitter. All doors should lock then unlock to verify the transmitter has been programmed. If door locks do not respond, press button again (up to three times maximum with the same transmitter). If door locks still fail to respond, go to Pinpoint Test F.
Repeat Step 2 to program additional transmitters into the remote entry receiver module (up to four transmitters maximum).
Turn ignition switch off. All doors should lock then unlock.
Check operation.

A paper clip will work, just make sure it does not short against any metal in the truck.
