Hi,
I just recently bought a remote keyless entry for my '98 SHO, and the person who sold me the remote sent me a photocopied FMC procedure on how to reprogram the keyless remote on almost all Ford. For your Econoline in 1999, there are two possible procedures for your car.
If your remote has symbols on the buttons, it uses the "8x's in 10 sec" mode. This means to turn the key 8 times from off to run within 10 seconds, with the 8th time leaving the key in the "run" position. The car doors should lock then unlock to confirm the programming. You simply then hit the button on all
the remotes you wish for your car to identify (locks should cycle from lock to unlock to confirm), then turn ignition back to OFF to finish programming.
However, there is another method. If your remote has words instead of symbols on the buttons, this other method is as follows:
"Turn ignition to RUN or ACC. Jump pins in programming connector located at the base of the steering column for entire programming procedure. All doors will lock then unlock to confirm programming mode. Press any button on the first transmitter. Doors will lock then unlock to confirm programming. Press any button on 2nd transmitter (up to 4 transmitters total possible). Turn ignition to OFF. Locks will cycle to indicate end of programming mode. Remove short on programming connector."
Hope one of these is the procedure you're looking for.

The code is written on the keyless entry module, which is located just above your foot on the gas pedal. It's got a huge gray-colored plug that has a lot of wires coming out of it. The sticker with the factory keyless code written on it faces the heater vents / passenger seat side of the car. It is the largest
set of numbers on the label. Unfortunately, this leaves you with about a 2-inch gap to read the codes. Best way to read it is to use a mirror, which would allow you to read it upside and backwards. Once you have that code, you can easily program your own personal keyless entry code by following the owners manual.
If you want, I can provide you with a digital shot of the module itself from my car.
