Ford Repair: car alarm, programming mode, ford dealer

Question
hi, i bought a 2002 cougar that has an alarm system and the controls are on a box on the keychain, it also locks and unlocks the doors. the box broke and i bought a new one from the ford dealer for my keychain. they told me i would have to program the new box for it to work and it should tell me how in my owners manual but i dont have one. i cant find any website that tells me the button pattern to push to program the keychain to my car, i was wondering if you could tell me how or a website that could. thanks so much

Answer
Hello Tiffany, there is a procedure to reprogram 1) turn the ignition from OFF to RUN 4 times within 6 seconds. Turn the ignition OFF. The LED in the clock/trip computer will light up continuously to confirm programming mode. Within 20 seconds, press any button on 1st remote. The LED in the clock will flash 4 times to confirm programming. Within 20 seconds, press any button on the 2nd transmitter. Turn the ignition to RUN. The LED will turn off to indicate end of programming mode. Hope this helps. Thanks Tony
