Keyless entry

[drparkwood]

I am looking for a used Windstar, and at a used car dealer recently he said that there is a way to check to see if the van has keyless entry installed even if you don't have a FOB. I think is was turn the ignition on and off 6 times or so then the dash lights? would blink. Does anyone know this proceedure?

Thanks

I am not framiliar with that procedure. However, if you have the key and turn it to the on position while momentarily shorting out the two terminals of the program connector taped to the wire assembly behind the glove compartment and the doors lock then unlock, it has keyless entry installed.

Turn the key from Off to On 8 times within 10 seconds ending in the On position. The door locks should lock and then unlock, then you can program your keyless remote by pressing any button on the remote and then turn the key to the Off position. This procedure is detailed in the owner's manual.

Hello,
I am a newbie to this column, but I also need help in programing my remote for a 1995 ford windstar. I was asked to go behind the glove box and jump the wires. But not being very mechancial incline and killing the van outright, I stopped. I bought several remotes but the one that came with the van is the only one is working. Can anyone explain how to jump start the remote in order for it to work in the 1995 ford windstar.
Thanks for all your help,
Sam

We just bought a 1995 Windstar for a second family vehicle. Anyhow the prior owner said the remote no longer worked for it and I checked and it was missing a battery. I bought 2 new batteries for it. However it still didn't work and so I tought about reprogramming it.

But I can not get the van to go into programming mode. I tried the two methods I have seen online the 5 times on and off in 10 seconds, and the 8 times on and off in 10 seconds ending in the on or ACC mode. I tried several different times. I tried with the van unlocked to start and also with the van locked starting. The van doesn't lock/unlock to let you know its in program mode.

I don't have a problem getting new remotes if the remote I have is damage. But if I can not get the van into the program mode what good would it do?? Any help??

The van did not come with an owners manual. I am looking at getting one.
thanks in advance for any help or advice.
