i was messing around at work and took one of my buddys key fobs from his 97 explorer and programmed it to work on my 95 ranger. i thought it would erase his signal and reroute it to my signal. so when he went to lunch his remote would only work on my truck. well i was wrong and now everytime we park side by side his fob not only locks his truck but also mine! this is very annoying since i leave my keys in the ignition and i have to break in almost everyday. is there any way i can unprogram that damn remote so that i dont have to crawl into my window any more????

Yeah.. just reprogram it to work on his vehicle.. that should probably erase it from working on your's. But i'm not quite sure, honestly

Dang.. just reprogram your remote for your's and reprogram his for his vehicle. That might clear it up. But like I said earlier, i'm not sure

i dont have a remote. i lost it and since my truck is soooooo old now and you can start it with a key from ANY of my other vehicles including my 4 wheeler i dont really worry about it getting stolen. most of the time it will start without even having any key in it.

all you need to do is take all the remotes you use and reprogram them.. everytime you go inot the program mode it erases all remotes tht are not programed at that time.

Teach you to mess with that sh1t again now doesn't it.

I would just steal his keys so he thinks that he lost them. Then he couldn't mess with your door locks anymore

True. Just going into programming mode in your car, erases all previous remotes. If you have any remotes, you need to program each of them back into your car's memory. If you have none, then just start the programming process, and then end it. Unless you program your friend's remote back into your car's memory, it will no longer work on your car.

i entered programming mode on mine and it still does it. let me make sure i'm right. to get into programming mode you cycle the key back and forth 8 times ending in the on position. right??? is there another step i'm missing?

The remote (the keyfob) itself doesn't "know" to which cars or trucks it programmed into, or to which it controls. The remote has no memory inside of itself. So, don't do anything with your friend's truck anymore. The remote works with his truck (I assume still), and just leave it that way.

For your car, you need to get your car into programming mode. Your car does have memory. Programming mode will erase all remotes "know" to your car. In other words, programming mode will erase all the memory in your car. That includes your friend's remote, plus all remotes that originally came with your car (regardless if you have them or not).

I assumed you know how to get your car into programming mode. When you do, I believe the car will lock and then unlock all the doors to acknowledge it. At that stage, it should be erasing all of its memory of all remotes, and be ready to learn some new ones.

when you cycle the key 8 times ending in the on position the door locks will cycle.. now if you do this and program NO remote it will not erase the old remote in the system.. you HAVE to program 1 remote and leave out your freinds remote..

after this your friends remote will be out of the system.
