Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General Keyless Entry Remote

You probably gotta order a new one straight from Ford, because even if you found one that physically looked the same on the outside, it would have different codes and wont be able to tell your car to unlock. The receiver/transmitter units must have the same codes in order to function. Otherwise, I could just use my remote control to get into any other Ford car with keyless entry. Ford may just ask you for your VIN # in order to know what control you need. So why not call them?
