I have a 00 mustang, this question pertains to all vehicles I suppose...what is keyless Entry? Technically? They say to wire it this way for keyless entry and this way for non keyless entry. I have a remote that locks and unlocks my doors. IS THIS "TECHNICALLY" KEYLESS ENTRY?

PEOPLE SAY THAT POSITIVE SYSTEMS HAVE A KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM AND NEGATIVE SYSTEMS HAVE NON KEYLESS...
TRUE?
BECAUSE...I have an 98 Expedition and it's a negative door system and I have a remote for the same operation as my mustang

I just needed to know some technical terms....I suppose...
thanks anyway for looking.

Keyless entry means exactly that, you dont need a key to lock and unlock your doors. It doesnt matter if the system is negative or positive, if it works from a remote than it is keyless entry.

typically keyless entry has the remote that you mentioned. but the main difference is:

most fords have a 5 wire door lock system (the lock wires have reversing polarity) and a special part is needed (2 relays will work as well), the 5 wire system is a little tricky for the first time because you actually have to cut the two wires and interface the relays. Now if you have a keyless entry system, there is a control module where there is a negative trigger for lock and a negative trigget for unlock, so you can tie your negative triggers off your alarm or keyless entry to those triggers and all the work for the 5 wire system is already done because of that module.

hope this clears things up a little more
