Hi, the following information is quoted from an earlier post by Billy, BChung4457.  We  both have 1997 Explorers, but to my knowledge 1998 is no different. Good luck, Joe "1.  Gather all your remotes because the RKE unit will assign a brand new code to all the remotes.   2.  Be sure all the doors and liftgate/glass are closed. 3.  Insert your key in the ignition and turn the key from "Off" to "On" position 5 times ending at the "On" position without starting the engine. 4.  Once you’ve done there, the door locks should lock then unlock as a confirmation telling you that you’re in the programming mode. 5.  Click any button on the remote.  Once you’ve done that, the door locks will lock then unlock telling you that the remote has been programed 6.  If you have more remotes repeat step 5.  You can program up to 4 remotes. 7.  Turn off the ignition and try the remotes out."

I jsut purchased a 1998 Explorer. My neighbor also has a 1998 Explorer. It seems that his key fob also activates and deactivates my vehicle. Is there any way to reprogram my vehicles settings so they don’t match his?
