Hi, Guest
There is an even cheaper option. If you have another Ford product of roughly the same era (within a year or two), try that remote. One remote CAN be used to unlock/lock/etc. more than one vehicle. I use one remote to lock/unlock both the SVT-WGN (Focus wagon 2002) and the 2000 Ford Taurus wagon. Just follow the instructions posted by buzz2.0 or check your own owner's manual.
My manual gives the full instructions on Page 120 (Locks and Security.) If you do not have a manual for your car, click on the following Motorcraft link, select [Owner Guides] and then select your vehicle, year, etc. and download the pdf file. (If you have any difficulty, just send me an email with your car info, and I will forward the appropriate manual.) The instructions in the 2001 Focus manual start on page 73.
You can buy used remotes from most wrecking yards for a few dollars. The only caveat, is all remotes must be programmed at the same time.
