Hey guys, I was wondering if I can put put a remote start in my Ranger now that the winter is on its way? My Ranger never came with a FOB for the door locks, so I'm not so sure even if this is possible. It has power door locks, so I'm curious. Thanks

If not, is it possible to purchase an aftermarket FOB to work the automatic door locks at least. I currently don't know if there was a FOB that came with this Ranger, as I bought it used. However, It does have stock automatic door locks. Thanks
 
You can add an aftermarket remote starter. Most remote starters should include outputs to operate your power doorlocks (you may need additional relays for this part). That gives one fob working everything.

For just operating the doorlocks remotely, you'll need to buy a kit that has the fobs and receiver. Ford factory keyless entry was relatively rare in the '93 models, so you'll need more than just getting a fob and expecting it to work.

Thanks for the info...
 
I had a co-worker who put remote start on his 1983 Mercedes. If that can be done, the Ranger can be done. I'll cheer you on all the way through it.
