How do you reprogram keyless remote for 1999 mercury villager?

Answer 1

1996 - 1998 (and 1995?)

All transmitters that are to be used with your van must be programmed at the same time. Once you enter the programming procedure you must program all the transmitters during the programming session. Only those programmed during the last session will work with the vehicle. You can use this procedure to also eliminate a transmitter by not programming the vehicle to accept the transmitter when entering the programming session. Just remember to have all the transmitters you want to use with the vehicle handy when you start the programming session.

The procedure: # Enter the vehicle and lock all the doors with the power lock switch. # Insert and remove the key from the ignition six times within 10 seconds. The instrument lights will flash twice. # Turn the ignition key to the ACC position. # Press the "Lock" button on the transmitter once. # For additional transmitters, unlock the drivers door using the power door lock switch. # Press the "Lock" button on the additional transmitter. The instrument lights will flash twice, indicating that the transmitter has been accepted. # Repeat steps 5 and 6 for any additional transmitters. There is a limit of four transmitters.

The procedure: # Get in the vehicle and lock all the doors. # Slowly insert the key into the ignition and then remove the key. do this at least 6 times in 10 seconds (I believe the slow part is on the first time putting the key in because there is no way to do that 6 times in 10 seconds). The tail lamps will flash to indicate the original code was erased. # Turn the ignition to the ACC position. # Press any button on the first remote. (hazard lamps will flash to confirm programming) # To enter additional transmitters, unlock and then lock the doors using the power door lock button on the drivers door. Press any button on the 2nd transmitter (up to 4 transmitters possible). Hazard lamps will flash to confirm programming. # Open the drivers door and then turn the ignition off.
