Help, after changing the battery in my remote for 1996 lincoln town car, it won't activate the secutity syste

It needs to be reprogrammed. Ask the dealer or you can try and find the details to reprogram it with a google search. Good luck!

Make sure that all of your cnnections are right, you might have missed a connector to the battery. If not check the fuses there might be one that has blown, if not you will have to take to a dealer or security system expert

Its not a bit deal to reprogram your remote. There are a number of websites that have easy to follow intructions. It only takes a few minutes. One tip l will offer if you have more than one remote for the vehical you must do them both at the same time. If you do not the second one will not work. Good luck

ok, make sure you have all the remotes for the vehicle with you.. turn the key off, and on the outside,punch in your 5 digit code for the keyless entry code (if you do not know the code,look in the trunk on the right side hinge support, it should be on a small sticker) then press the 1/2 button, then the lock button on each transmitter one after the other, the locks should cycle after each remote..

Hope it helps..
