Sorry for the Newbie question but I've searched and came up empty.
I need to know which remote keyless fob is compatible with a 98.5 SVT.
I found umpteens of Ford remotes for Taurus, Ranger, F150, etc but none for Contour Mystique.
Surely one of these is the same.
Thanks for any info!
'98.5 SVT#5826 of 6535, Silver Frost-As fun to drive as my old MR2 and way more practical!
Not as much fun to drive as my Turbo Rx7 was, but it starts every time!

You do need the correct one. I'm not sure what all they fit, but it was a common Ford transmitter prior to the present crop. For example some Lincolns used the same one roughly around the time of the Mark VIII.
Look for the FCC ID on the back. It needs to say GQ43VT4T.
It is NOT the same as the one for my Escape, which reads CWTWB1U331.

Look for an FCC ID "GQ43VT4T" and match them!
Edit: looks like Jim beat me.

Ironically, I just received today the one I got from someone on eBay. What matters is the FCC code on the back of the fob. If you have one and are looking for another, you must get one with the same FCC code. If you don't have one, you'll need to find the code, maybe on the receiver which I think is behind the glove box under the dash. Do a search using the words "key fob" in the maintenance forum or the general forum, I forget which I searched in, for more information. It's easy to program once you find one. BTW, the one I got was new in factory sealed Ford packaging and only cost me $9.99 + $5.00 shipping. Good luck! 
Oh, and welcome to CEG...it's a great site.
