Programing Remote Keyless Entry 97 Dakota

[DINGER]

Just Purchased A 1997 Dakota Slt. I Purchased Keyless Remotes On E-bay And Need Help Programing Them. I Do Not Have The Owners Manual. I Called The Dealer And The Truck Did Come From The Factory With Keyless Entry.they Want $75 To Program Them. The Remotes That I Purchased Are The Right Part #. Any Help Would Be Greatfull

This is for a 2000 so no guarantees.

GET READY THIS HAS 12 STEPS
NOTE: WHEN ENTERING PROGRAM MODE USING FOB, ALL OTHER PROGRAMMED FOBS WILL BE ERASED AND YOU WILL HAVE TO REPROGRAM THEM FOR YOUR VEHICLE

1. ENTER YOUR TRUCK AND CLOSE ALL DOORS

2. PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELT SO THE SEAT BELT BUZZER DOES'T CONFUSE YOU WITH THE CHIMING YOU WANT TO HEAR

3. PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION

4. TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION BUT DO NOT START

5. PRESS AND HOLD THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB

6. HOLD THE UNLOCK BUTTON FOR 4 SEC. NOW ALSO HOLD THE PANIC BUTTON

7. RELEASE BOTH BUTTONS AND A SINGLE CHIME WILL BE HEARD THIS INDICATION THAT YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ENTERED PROGRAM MODE. ALL FOBS THAT ARE TO BE PROGRAMMED MUST BE DONE SO WITHIN 30 SEC. OF WHEN THE CHIME WAS HEARD.

8. USING THE FOB TO BE PROGRAMMED PRESS AND RELEASE BOTH THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTONS, SIMULTANEOUSLY.

9. A SINGLE CHIME WILL BE HEARD

10. WITHIN FOUR SECONDS OF HEARING THE CHIME PRESS AND RELEASE EITHER THE LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE FOB.

11. REPEAT STEPS 8 - 10 TO PROGRAM UP TO TWO ADDITIONAL FOBS.

12. YOUR TRUCK WILL REMAIN IN PROGRAM MODE UP TO 30 SEC FROM WHEN THE ORIGINAL CHIME WAS HEARD. AFTER 30 SEC. ALL PROGRAMMED FOBS FUNCTION NORMALLY.

This procedure does not work with the 1997 Dakota, as this Dakota does not have the panic button on the FOB.

Does anyone know the actual procedures on programming the remote to a 1997 Dakota? Thanks!
