How do you program a new remote for the doors on a 1998 Contour GL?

 

Remote Transmitter Programming

NOTE: A maximum of four keyless entry remote transmitters can be programmed for each central locking/anti-theft module.
NOTE: Upon program mode 3 entrance, once a transmitter button is pressed for the first time, the receiver module erases ALL previously stored transmitter codes in the memory. All transmitters must be present at the same time to be programmed to the vehicle.
NOTE: To enter programming mode, first verify that the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition switch to RUN.[/ol]

Locate the programming connector and momentarily short the 2 pins. The shorting bar connector is located near the control module on the R/H A pillar. The horn will bleep to confirm program mode entrance.[/ol]

Press any button on a remote entry transmitter. The horn will bleep to acknowledge the transmitter code was received.[/ol]

Repeat Step 3 for any additional remote entry transmitters wished to be programmed to the vehicle.[/ol]

Turn the ignition switch OFF to exit program mode. To confirm the program mode has been exited the horn will bleep one last time.[/ol]

 

Thanks for the info. After checking this car out , I found out it never came with the remote door anti-theft system. I thought maybe the previous owner may have lost the remote, but i noticed in the owners manual that this was an option. Oh well, you live and learn.
