keyless entry for 97 f250 not in manual`

I might take the part number and a photo of the part (if you have a digital) to the dealership. Ask the parts guy to look up the number for you and provided it is what you hope it is, he should be able to order remotes for you.

Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to access the defroster vents? Lose something or sneaking it back across the border ? ;¬)

Thanks for responding, as to the defroster vents, how did you know we were across the border? I have heard that you can pack the vents with at least 4 Kilos. Any truth to that rumor? Just joking, serously I lost something Christmas eve night and now belive it made its way to the defroster vent on the drivers side. On my old 86 it was easy to get the vents, even though I never had to. Being this is a used truck, owned by someone else at one time, I thought I would go ahead and clean out the vents. If I can get to them.

No telling who might be hiding in there.......

Well I finally found it in the manual, but it does not say how to program the remotes, BTW it is listed under "remote entry" not "keyless entry". In talking to my dealer service writer, he says it uses the OBDII code reader to do the programing and they charge $98.00 to do that. How do you do it with the code reader or where can I find this info. thanks

This may not be helpful, but, on my '99, you sit in the truck with the doors shut, cycle the ignition on and back off 5 times without starting the truck. After the fifth time, the door locks automatically lock, then you hit the unlock button on the remote you want to add in, then the lock button, then do the next remote, until you have them all.

I don't know if yours will do that or not.

Thanks Spdloader, I tried what you suggested, no luck. I even picked up another remote entry module and tried it to see if it was defective, but it made no differnce. I seem to believe what the dealer said is true, that you need the code reader to do something to the module for programing. Any Ford mech know anything about what I am talking about?

thanks dave

Sorry dude, I tried.
