Is there a way to program the key fob manually. I know you can do it by cycling the key in a crown Vic

It took me about five or six times to get my new one to play, but it finally did. Cheers!

Under the dash basically at the bottom left side of the glove box, you'll have to look for it, is a gray 2 pin connector not attached to anything. Use a jumper wire to jump across the 2 pins and the door locks will lock and unlock. After they do that press any key on the remote and it should program. Remove the jumper and you should be good to go.

Empty your glove box (Trust us... It's entertaining!)
With the glove box open all of the way, pull the tabs at the back towards the center of the glove box so that the box will open past its factory stopping point. On mine, the one at the top left is clearly visible, and the one on the right is actually located in the middle of the side.
Put the key in the ignition and rotate it to the on position. You do not have to start the car.
Behind where the glove box was, you should see all kinds of control boxes with oodles of wire going here and there. You should also see a white or gray Molex plug that is not connected to anything. In mine it is located at the bottom left. With the key still in the on position, short the two pins in this connector with a piece of wire. It only takes a second, and when you remove the wire, the locks should cycle one time to acknowledge that you are in the setup mode.
Press the lock button on the remote that you want to be associated with Number One mirror and seat settings. The locks should cycle one time.
Press the lock button on the remote that you want to be associated with Number Two mirror and seat settings. The locks should again cycle one time.
Press the lock button on the remote that you want to be Number Three. The locks should cycle once more. The third and subsequent remotes will not be associated with seat and mirror settings.
Turn off the key, return the glove box to its rightful place and develop a better filing system for your glove box junk. The key fobs should now be programmed.

Will never work for your 93. Do what charger or Markviiiedrea said and you'll be fixed right up. Invest in new batteries also if you haven't already. The're fairly cheap.
This would be your method. Very simple and if you have two, the 2nd one can be done but it has to be pressed on within about 5 seconds or so.

I had 3 keyfobs programmed to my black '93. It's super easy. You can't miss it. I used a 5 inch piece of wire to loop it. You are going to be very happy when you achieve this simple task.

Really some of the best guides and tech articles. This site is much more active and the advice here is second to none but LOD kinda has the sweetest tech section with LOL having perhaps the most comprehensive section.
Oh yeah LOL:
