I figured out how to program a new remote for my wife's 2004 Endeavor and want to pass it along. Very simple.
1) First find the DLC plug (inside under driver side, right hand side, next to transmission wall). It’s a 16 pin connector with pins 1-8 on the wide side, 9-16 on the narrow side. Look closely and you can see the number 8, and barely make out the number 1.
2) Insert a paper clip into pin 1 and another into pin 4. Run two clip on wires up to where you can work comfortably so you can jumper 1 & 4 together in the next steps.
3) Insert your key into the ignition. Do not turn it. Just put it in.
4) Jumper 1&4. Within 10 seconds press the hazard button 6 times (that’s 3 on & 3 off). Your doors should lock and unlock to confirm registration mode.
5) Press and release the lock button of your 1st remote once.
6) Within 10 seconds of step 5 press and release the lock button of your remote TWICE.
7) The doors should lock and unlock to confirm registration.
8) If registering additional remotes follow steps 5 -7 again for up to a total of 4 remotes. But do them within 1 minute. NOTE: You must re-register your original remote as part of this since it wipes out all old registrations.
9) When done remove the jumper wire, paper clips, start the car, and with the money you saved go and fill up your gas tank.
