I have a ford fiesta ghia 1998. I recently got bought the car and i need to know how to programme the key fob?

The car came with two keys, 1 normal key and a key with a remote on. The remote key does not work so i changed the batteries and all it does is flash. I was wondering if i should reprogramme the remote and if anyone could tell me how to do it? How do i know if it is the key or the car at fault?

Answers:
try this..insert the key that works, turn to 1st or 2nd click while watching the lights on the dash nect to the clock. They should either flash quickly then stay on or the other way about, once it changes take out the key & insert the other key and turn to the same point and leave for a few seconds theis should clone the code onto the key fob. In theory anyway.
Important don't do it the other way about or you will lose the code off the one that works. If there is more than 1 key that works then you need to inset all the keys that work 1st before inserting any that are to be newly coded.
let me know how you get on?
you cart it goes to ford to program
Ford dealer sorry.
Im afraid they have to be reprogramed by a Ford dealer , there the only ones with the gear to do it
I will assume that you have an infrared remote control (infrared emitter can be seen at front edge of key and has only 2 buttons)
Programming is as follows :-
Using the key fitted with remote control,
Turn ignition to position 1,
Wait approximately 10 seconds,
Ensure clock LED illuminates.
NOTE: LED illuminates for approximately 5 seconds.
Switch ignition OFF and remove key, while LED illuminated.
Programming mode is activated for approximately 20 seconds (LED illuminated). Proceed as follows:
Point key at receiver (located near interior light).
Press and hold unlock button, after approximately 1 second key LED will flash once,
Press lock button 3-5 times,
Release unlock button,
Continue to point key at receiver until LEDs in clock and key have flashed 5 times.
To exit programming mode and extinguish clock LED:
Switch ignition ON and OFF,
Wait approximately 20 seconds.
If you have the three button type remote then let me know and I'll put the programming details on for you
