!998 Ford Ranger XLT keyless entry question
I just bought a used 1998 Ford Ranger XLT, 4x4 with power door locks and windows. The guy I bought it from said the keyless entry "worked once in a while but hardly ever." He had 2 key fobs which I replaced the batteries in, tried the programming as described in the owner's manual and also saw same process via a YouTube video but nothing worked. I am curious if there is something wrong in the Ranger computer module or whether both fob transmitters have worn out (they are the originals) and I need to get new ones? I did find some on Amazon for pretty cheap. Appreciate any suggestions.

I guess all things are related because my key fob not working and then problems with my anti theft light flashing rapidly ended up being a broken wire and a bad connector near the RAP module. Total cost from FORD dealer was $363 for repairs but my anti theft is working and not draining the battery or going off and my key fobs open and lock the doors.
