How to program the keyless entry remote transmitters on Ford Explorer?

The procedure to program keyless entry remote transmitters must be performed when the anti-theft system remains unactivated and key code programming is disabled. Start the programming procedure by pressing the UNLOCK function on the driver door latch control system. A successful program entry requires turning the key from OFF to ON eight times during a 10-second period that ends at ON position. The programming mode confirmation is indicated by door locking followed by unlocking. Pressing any button on your remote transmitter leads to door locking followed by unlocking which verifies the programming success. Only four transmitters can be programmed through one session within a time span of 20 seconds. A successful attempt to activate door locks with a remote transmitter may require waiting some seconds and retrying the button. Examine the Power Locks when the door locks do not react. Exit programming mode becomes active when at least one programmed remote transmitter causes the doors to lock and then unlock or when turning the key to OFF occurs or 20 seconds pass after programming mode begins or when the limit of four transmitters is programmed.
