Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / July 2006Do I Have Keyless Entry? 1998 F150
I bought a used 1998 F150 XLT. It has power door locks. The previous owners did not provide a keychain remote, nor do they know whether there ever was one. Before I go out and buy a set of remotes, how can I find out if my truck is equiped for keyless entry? Thanks, AABob >I bought a used 1998 F150 XLT. It has power door locks.

I believe the option shows up on the VIN. Do a google search Ford's VIN lookup can be found at: https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/vin_tools/default.asp >> I bought a used 1998 F150 XLT.

My old '98 Windstar and my '03 F150 used the same procedure. Put the key in the ignition and turn the key until the all the dash lights come on and then turn off repeating this up to 8-10 times until you hear the doorlocks lock and then unlock. I believe you can't take longer than three seconds between key turns otherwise you have to start all over. Once the doorlocks cycle you can program up to four keyless entry remotes. If it does enter programming mode just shut the ignition off and after a few seconds it will automatically enter normal mode. Then you go on Ebay and buy up to four keyless entry remotes and save a ton of money. > I bought a used 1998 F150 XLT. It has power door locks.
