Maybe you guys can help..The car is a 94 cobra. I've reset a few keyless entry systems b4 but never ran into this problem. If you're not familiar you short the prongs on the open connector coming from the keyless box. Anyway, the prongs will not short. I've tried everything from a screwdriver to a fuse to copper wire. I'm getting 5 volts to the connector, but no luck with the trip. Can anyone shed some light?

Have you checked that the fuse to the keyless system is not blown? Is the car set up for keyless entry, from the factory? If both of those are good, it should be just as easy as what you are doing.

The key is in the ON position when i'm trying to trip the connector. I haven't checked the fuse physically, since I don't have the owner's manual to know which one it is-but I did check the connector with a volt meter and i'm getting juice. If someone could help with the location of the fuse, I'll check it. Thanks

If you are asking "how" to reset it, I dont know what you are doing in the fuse box. All you do is cycle the engine on/off a few times in rapid succession until the doors unlock, then push the button.
I just went through this a few weeks ago with the 'scort.

IM not sure, but my Escort is a 97. The Keyless entry remote is the EXACT same (model number and all) The ONLY difference b/t the 2 is that the Mustang keyless remote has a pony on it. Since my Stang has an alarm, I was able to use the stock keyless entry remote as a spare for my Escort DD.blk94snk said:

I agree with RC.
I was at the local Ford dealer a while back getting a diagnostic done and I asked them if they could also reset my keyless cause it didn't work. The manager hopped in and did exactly what RC described for free.

Actually, when I set the old one..the new one stopped working...I went to a DODGE dealer that has a svc mng that came from Ford...he hopped in and did BOTH for me...no chargeCar Nut said:
