I bought a 2000 Explorer XLS for my two sons for Xmas. It does not have key fobs but does flash "Theft" on the dash when started. How do I know if I can add fobs or do I need to add some sort of module? I bough fobs on ebay but was unable to get the truck into program mode. Any help would be appreciated.
In your owners manual it will give you instructions on setting up your fobs, Worse scenario is you might have to take it to the dealer to make sure they match the original fob

Key fobs tend to hold their code indefintely. The batteries in them are probably burnt. Open up one of the fobs and replace the battery (hearing aid type) then they should work fine. Good Luck!~
SOURCE: how to program key fob. I have the fobs.
Transmitter Programming Procedure
Close all the vehicle doors.
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.
Press and hold the door unlock switch.
While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, cycle the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF.
Release the door unlock switch. The doors will lock and unlock to confirm the program mode.
Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on the transmitter. After a delay of approximately 15 seconds, the doors will lock and unlock to confirm the programming of the transmitter.
Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position in order to exit the keyless entry transmitter mode.
Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.
Good luck
