Nissan Repair: 1993 Mercury Villager door/arlarm remote reprogramming, negative battery cable, mercury villager

Question
Hello, I have a 1993 Mercury Villager that the door/alarm remotes need to be reprogrammed.  The remote is a two button with "A" and "D" as the two buttons.  It says "Ford" on the back of the remote.  How do I reprogram the remotes?

Answer
Hi Stephan,
