Keyless Entry Transmitter: Service and Repair

1992 Ford F 350 2WD Pickup V8-7.3L DSLSECTION Service and Repair
To program (or re-program) transmitter(s) into the electronic door lock control, perform the following steps:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON or ON/ACC position and short the two terminals of the program connector (J2), a two-pin connector located below the driver's side of the instrument panel (04320) at the base of the steering column. All doors should lock and then unlock.
2. Press any button on each transmitter, (one at a time). All doors should lock and then unlock. If the door locks do not respond, press the button again (up to three times maximum with the same transmitter). If the door locks still fail to respond, go to PINPOINT TEST D.
3. Repeat Step 2 to program additional transmitters into the control module (up to four transmitters maximum).
4. Turn ignition switch off. All doors should lock and then unlock.
5. Make sure the short has been removed from the program connector J2.

If the customer has purchased additional transmitters or lost a transmitter, or if the transmitter must be re-programmed into the processor, all the customer's transmitters must be available for reprogramming at the same time.
