Auto-Lock Sensor & Key Fob?

[Sylentnite]

Hey all! I have a 93 Atx, and I washed my key fob remote, and I'm trying to reprogram my new one. I don't have the keypad on the door, and nothing to jump in the trunk. I have done it once before using the key cycle method and it worked successfully programming the fob. I had someone doing some work on my car and they disconnected the auto-lock sensor under my seat..So I am curious with this being disconnected would this prevent my keyless entry from entering into program mode? If I do the key cycle 5,7,8 times the locks do not cycle letting me know its in program mode.

What kind of keyless remote do you have?

It's a 2 button remote, the brain is right there behind the cigarette lighter, unfortunately the label on the brain has been removed, but it does have ford sticker on the other side.

I have a question. I have the 89 MTX and I was wondering if this model came with remote keyless entry?

Sylentnite - does it have an A and D on the remote? That is a dealer added Remote Keyless system.

Cubanboi - Remote keyless was not available until 1993 from the factory. Just dealer add on systems.

My 91 and 92 have Remote Keyless Entry. It took a couple of feet of 94 harness, a RKEM Module, three hours, and about 56bajillon wires that needed to be cut and spliced.

Oh it's only about 30-40. Not that bad.

ok thanks

Yes it has A and D...but my question was, if the auto lock is unplugged under the drivers seat, will this prevent the system from going in learn mode to program a remote. The 1st time i did my remotes, it was pretty effortless, but I have had a hard time trying to get it in learn mode(i dont have the in the trunk thingy to put it in learn mode). This was about the only thing I could come up with as to why it won't go into learn mode.

Not sure. I have the same system in my car (it's a dealer add-on) but no directions or anything, so I have no idea how to program it. I plan on replacing it with a factory system soon.

And believe me Dave, I cannot thank you enough for doing that on the '91 I bought. :thankyou:
