Hi Justin,If your 2002 Explorer has a P.A.T. (Passive Anti-Theft) system and originally came with a 4 button key f.o.b. from the factory or dealership, then it should work for you as well. I would call your local Ford dealership parts department and ask someone about the compatibility issue. I hope this was helpful.

I have a 2003 xls and it will definitely work for your 2002 because there isn't a big difference between 02 & 03.

Justin, If this works for you then you have more luck than I. I bought this since it was much less expensive then going thru a dealer. I called the distributor about it to walk me thru it step by step, & it still didn't work. So, going thru a dealer for as inexpensive as the product may be, might be of more value.

It should. If your search included model year 2002 it should not be an issue. It has to be programmed for your Explorer and insstructions will be included. The only issue I have is not the fob but the car. It only allows 4 fobs to be used so if you already had 4, only the last one will work so if you buy 2, only the last one programmed will actually open the doors.

It should work. Usually you get instructions with the fob but the internet has several sites with very clear instructions.

Hi. I don't drive but assume that it is different tech so should be ok. If it does not work. Item is fabulous for house keys.

You don't. You need to have your existing key fob to make sure the model numbers match.

I bought a used 2002 mustang that had power locks but no keyless entry. I put my VIN in at www.decodethis.com and that said keyless entry was standard on my vehicle so I bought one. Works great. Or find your options sticker in glove box & find dealer decode it.

Unfortunately not. However if you search for this one: "Keyless Entry Remote Fob Clicker for 1997 Ford Expedition With Do-It-Yourself Programming" it should come up with the compatible one!

Yes, but you'll need to get it programmed first. My independent mechanic did it for about $100 (hourly rate charge). Or transfer the old board... but only worth doing if that keyfob is not worth keeping as a backup.

these type of keyless entry keypads are mainly used with trucks. If you are wondering if it can be used with a ford car then this will most likely not work. You can try this for your Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer, its worth a shot to try this one.

Yes. Once you separate the halves of the key fob, take the old rubber button pad out and replace with the new. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Yes, at least the one I bought, but I had to buy the valet key separately. Hard part is to find someone to program the fob and I understand that it requires an already activated fob. So, if your electronics are shot it may be difficult to mate the new fob with your Saab.

No It wont work. you will be money ahead to go to ford dealer let him change it and reprogram new key

The instructions should have come with the FOB. If not....go on line and google for the instructions. Good luck if you can get it to work.

I got the fob (six button) from one seller and the transponder keys from another - couldn't find one seller with both. My XLE limited took both 2 new fobs and 5 new transponder keys - finding and following the correct sequence of steps/actions exactly as instructed was the most important thing.

you need to open the key fob. There is a tiny hard to find clip on the side. This separates the key from the computer chip. Inside is a barely visible number which will tell you exactly which key fob you need. You cannot use any key except the one which the code matches. The code is semi transparent and almost looks like a smudge. Also the replacement fob may look different than the original. It is the product codes which must match.

If your current key FOB is has the three functions: lock, unlock, and horn and does not have an integral key, then the key FOB shell will work with your current FOB's internal electronics.

No. You have to take it to a service department that has the equipment to program it. I'd call a local dealer first. They may have a fob in stock.
