  Q: How to program the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitters on Ford Freestar?

  A:

  All remote keyless entry transmitters must be programmed at the same time during the setup process. Start the programming by using the RKE system or the RKE keypad (if available) or door lock control switch with the driver door still open. A successful program entry requires users to switch the key from OFF to RUN eight times in 10 seconds before ending in RUN mode; this transition will verify program entry through door locking followed by unlocking actions. Press any button on each RKE transmitter within the 20 seconds time frame to test the successful programming as the doors will simultaneously lock and unlock. Press the button a second time after letting a few seconds elapse when the door locks fail to respond. Before proceeding confirm that the programming became unsuccessful due to a maximum allowed number of RKE transmitters. The procedure for exiting programming mode happens when the key switches to the OFF setting or after 20 seconds from entering programming mode or when programming the maximum number of transmitters.

  Q: How to remove and replace the keyless entry transmitter for the sliding door latch remote control on Ford Freestar?

  A:

  The first step to change the keyless entry transmitter for the sliding door latch remote control starts with removing the sliding door trim panel. Following the removal of three sliding door latch screws you should tighten them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) during reinstallation. Set the sliding door latch outside the door frame while separating the electrical connector that controls the sliding door detent switch if present. You need to uninstall three sliding door remote control bolts that are located inside the door frame while tightening them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) when you put them back. Tighten each one of the three sliding door remote control bolts to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) before putting them back. You must disconnect the component that operates the sliding door exterior handle and the component that operates the sliding door interior handle by opening the clip. Place the sliding door remote control before disconnecting the sliding door lock actuator and every sliding door latch actuator electrical connector present on the vehicle. Before reinstalling the sliding door remote control you must finish by completing the procedure in reverse order.
