keyless remote FOB

[Lyman Tso]

I have a 2001 sport trac. The original keyless entry remote cases broke so I purchased a new Casings online to replace them. When my new cases arrived it had the electronic boards in them. I removed them and put in the original electronics into the new cases with new batteries.

1st question: Does removing the batteries erase memory of the original transmitters?



So the switch out did not work, so I tried the programing instructions and the FOBs responded. worked for a few days then the Fobs didnt work. Did the programming instructions again, fobs worked....then a few days later, no luck.

2nd Question: is there a memory problem with old electronics in new cases.



So now I switched back to the parts that came with the cases, and still have the same problem.

I program the fobs the way the instructions read , but after a few days the remotes do not seem to remember the re-programming. Is there a receiver issue somewhere in the sport trac that the remotes transmission doesn't get accepted.

instructions are pretty much the same on most websites

I looked at the web site, that is exactly how Ford says to program them. I did new ones on mine and haven't had any problems. Where did you get the remotes from? Maybe if someone else has experienced this they will chime in.

Removing batteries have never, erased mine.
