- The factory permanent code is also stamped into the containing module whether it be the drivers door module, vehicle security module or most commonly the general electronic module/ Smart Junction Box.
In this video I show you how to do this basic task. The owners manual also describes the procedure but for those that have lost it or learn better with a visual I present this tutorial. - Авто та транспорт
Video started saying, "If you can't remember your factory code, don't worry you can program a personal code". Change of scene to a computer screen. In order to create a personal code, you will need the factory code..." which you get get Ford to retrieve with a special diagnostic tool.
The codes are in the vehicle usally behind the fuse box on driver or passenger side and are the first 5 numbers below the bar code.
Code for 08-12 escape is under center console. Pull up console, it is on a sticker underneath towards the dash! Don't go to a dealership! They will rip u off!
I think what he meant was, if the factory code isn't easy to memorize?
It’s on sticker of the module if no where else
That just annoyed the hell out of me. If I had the factory code I wouldn't need the new code. I bought this car used and the dealership wants to charge me to get that code. Useless!!
I learned I can lock people out of their cars pressing the last two buttons on their door today. This is awesome
2008 Ford Sport trac. Pull off the fuse box cover (long slender one, driver side under dash) and use a lighted mirror. On the back side of that fuse box about in the middle is a faint stamped in 5 digit code, that is what you need. I was able to take that code and use this video to set my custom code. Thanks Makuloco you saved the day , AGAIN!
Perfect timing man. Just yesterday I was wondering if I could add my own personal code. Thanks for the easy & quick tutorial.
Replaced all four door lock actuators and saw your video.. Thank you your video was easy to do and worked great .. Thanks again.. 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻
you are amazing!! THANKS A LOT!
This is real EASY than the other one I found that you got to remove the whole console box.
Thanks again!
Dude, this channel is amazing. Thank you so much!
Thanks, was looking this up and only ran into people that didn't know what they were talking about. Got it first try after watching this
My 1987 Ford Taurus was equipped with the keyless entry system.
So was my 2005 Taurus. There was a sticker on inside of the trunk with the 5 digits.
I added a custom pin to the 87. This gave me 2 separate pins that worked. The factory supplied pin stays with the vehicle even after you add a custom one.
On a side note, technically, there are only 5 buttons on the pad. Two numbers share each button.
Example: A code 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 is the same as 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
Thank you so much for your info. You helped me figure it out. God bless brother.
I got the code from Ford dealer on my 2020 Ford Escape. He and myself changed the factory code towards my own code shortly after on the touch screen for Apple Car play. It was so easy to do,too. I done it on my 2011 Mercury Milan and my 2015 Ford Escape shortly after getting them by myself before getting the 2020 Ford Escape. My parents had a 1988 Ford Taurus with that keypad and we did used the factory code on it. My father had it on the 2nd Ford Explorer that he gotten in 1998. I remembered the codes to unlocked the doors and even the trunk from the 1988 Ford Taurus. 3/4 for the other car doors and 5/6 towards the trunk of the car. I have a very good memory on simple things. I don’t remembered that code at all anymore.
For anyone wondering, for a 2015 Expedition, the code is on a white sticker behind the fuse panel on passenger side floorboard. It will have 5 numbers followed by an L (e.g 12345L)
Wow! Never knew. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks your tutorial helped me out a lot thanks so much
I would buy ford again just because this feature, I don't like carring my keys at the gym more likely just to loose them. Thanks for the tip you just save me 100 dollars.
Thank you. I tried to program a personal code once with written instructions but couldn't. Watching this I had no problems.
On my 98 Grand Marquis it had the keypad number which was located inside the driver's door on the black box containing the security programming. I found this when I had to replace the door from an accident. You can swap boxes and it will work with another number. Entering the code and pressing 5 opened the trunk. You can leave the car running and lock and unlock the doors with the keypad. The funny thing I always liked and found out was I was able to leave the car running and use my key fob to lock and unlock the doors. Which everyone has been telling me it shouldn't do that. Good for warming up the vehicle in the winter or cooling it down in the summer. Mostly did it at home because I felt safe in my neighborhood doing it. When I first got the car, I like a dumbass left the keyfob attached to the key all the time. My first winter at work with it I was warming up the car and got out to deice the windows. The doors will automatically lock if you leave the car running for too long. I did not have the keypad code at the time. Had to have my dad bring his locksmith tools. Long story short I had my key fob attached to my belt separate after that. I only had one key and never lost it or did it again. Upon reading the owners manual you can unprogram the door locking feature through the keypad. Going from having two older model cars to the Marquis, I was unaware of these features. Sometimes the keypad code can be found on the hinge inside the trunk. I lost that vehicle and got a 2001 Ford Expedition XLT. Was not given the code. Looking around on UA-cam I found it can be located under the dash on the drivers side. You have to lay on your back and look under to the left of the e brake. Code works. However this time around, the key in the ignition, I found out I could not use the keyfob to lock and unlock the doors. Practically useless if you locked the doors and don't have a spare or the keypad code. I did find you can press the last two numbers to lock the doors. The headlights flash. Come back and use the keypad code again and unlock while running. Use at your own risk. I rarely do this.
Awesome! Thank you. Love all your informative videos. Hope you are well!
Hello Jeff, what diagnostic program did you use thx for answer best regards from Poland
@@jaceklagodzinski8075 added a new door code with number my mom could remember. Is that your question?
Thanks man you helped me very much
Great videos! I reference them constantly when working on my wife's 2013 Escape. Have you ever replaced a keypad in this generation of escape?
Great video, quick and to the point. As dumb as I am, even I could reprogram my code!! ha ha....thanks a lot.
Thanks for the heads up on the keypad programming video. I have locked my keys in the car before, and had to call a locksmith to get it open. That was NOT cheap..!
Thanks this was really helpful
Worked great thank you!!
Thank you for this video!!!! All Ford dealerships will charge to hook up a computer or to take your center console out to find the code. I had my console removed in about a minute and had the code. I have the unlimited, and would suggest to anyone reading this comment, to be careful. I have the LED lights going to cup holders and so on... Watch for the wire that connects to the harness. It's easy to unplug, but can cause damage if it's left plugged in and the console is just lifted out. I used a rubber tipped flat head and the silver ring console pops right out. Thanks again for saving me a bunch of cash!!!
Thanks for the great information. Do you have any ideas on a key fob that won’t program even though the cycles like it should? I’ve tried different key fobs.
Tank you for your help, I will give it a try. I just want to tell you that I've watched a bunch of your videos and you have helped me learn a lot of valuable information as well as save me some money. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. I'm sure everyone else does too.
If you watch these videos you waste money lol idiots. It cost 100 bucks too get ford to retrieve the code for you when you can get it for free by removing the fuse pannel and 2 bolts lolol
@marco-fi6gv you damn clown 🤡
Thank you so much
So I have ford transit 250
2017
How can I setup my Keypad?
great info ! thanks
Great tips
I did that on my 2011 Mercury Milan, 2015 Ford Escape SE, and my current vehicle which is a 2020 Ford Escape SE in black. Even my parents had that done on 3 or 4 of their vehicles. One of the vehicles that they used to have that now belongs to my sister is a 2013 Ford Edge. It is so easy to do in a newer vehicle these days. I only used the code that they gave me once. I changed it when I got the vehicle on the 2nd day. I put it in my 5 digit code. My sister could know about it,too.
Can you use this to lock/unlock doors while vehicle is running? Sometimes I don't want to turn truck off just to go in a store and would rather keep it running but locked.
2009 Milan og code was at the top of the Fuse panel on a sticker. The fuse panel is located on driver side kick panel. 5 digits at the bottom right of the tag itself.
I'd like to thank you for your useful videos
I can't erase my personal code I do all the steps one by one but it's won't erased how I can do it
on my 2010 Edge the door code is printed on the inside of the fuse compartment cover in the driver-side footwell.
This worked for my 2014 Ford Escape. The 5-6 didn't open my lift gate though. No biggie. Thank you sir!
I just hit the 5 after my code and mine works
Love the videos especially the ones on the 5.4
Thank God there was a video haha my key lock got ice in it (fixing it after work) I couldn't remember how to lock it only unlock it
Thank you it worked
Worked great for my 2010 Expedition! thank you!!
Great video saved me 150.00.
could you do one replacing the keypad please? I have an 03 expedition, and I'm a little concerned this may be to hard for me...
Just a heads up.
If ur lights, the keyless entry lights,come on and stay on. Change the battery in ur key fob. It's the alert to tell u ur battery in ur fob is low. Its in the manual as well. Hope this helps someone. Ive had 2 fords. 2002 Explorer and 2013 Escape
Mine was under the door panel on the module and super easy to find and read.
Let me know how to locate where my spare key is now. I cant seem to find that thing anywhere.
Thx I looked at the manual and it wasn’t working but when I watched your vid it worked lol
I notice that some newer Ford model have the key pads why not have a keyless systems without the key pad. Like the ones I'm used to like on VW models to lock the car put your thumb on the handle and when you want to open the doors just put you're hand one the handle and then the door opens seems that Ford was one of the first to come with a keyless system back when there was no other way to do it.
New Fords do have this feature but again only works when the key is near.
I have an '80 T-Bird, and when the keypad is hooked up, none of the locking/illuminating features work. If I disconnect the keypad, the automatic door locks work from the interior arm rest. Are any of the later model illuminated entry/keyless locking modules compatible with this car? Or do you know of a source for a new module?
woww thanks. i was trying to figure out how to unlock and open the trunk on my 93 mercury cougar. i had to type the code and press 5-6. for years, it would randomly open the trunk once a while when coding and i was always like 'what the hell'. now today i found your video because i was just too lazy to put the key in the ignition and press button trunk release. thanks mannn.
Each episode of FordTechMakuloco starts like a Game of Thrones episode... :) Nice Music
Haha it did seem familiar, but l couldn't put my finger on it.
04 f250. Key pad with replaceable battery. Any way to test if bad other than not working even with new battery???? Key fob works great.
Great vid
I have this keypad on my 1996 Mark VIII. After the car sits for 30 minutes or so, you cannot use the keypad to unlock the car. It's like it has gone to sleep. If you unlock the door with the key, and turn the ignition on or the headlights, it powers up again. Have you any suggestions on why it does this?
Is there a way to program it to be able to roll down the power windows with the keypad?
When I did this in ids with a 2018 Ford Edge it said that the vehicle did not support this function and to look on the back of the module for the code. Did they do this with all of the new fords?
Hi i have a 2005 explorer sport trac will this work for its keypad? Also how many keys and key fobs can be programmed into it?
Thank you.
Another great video but... I cant' find the sticker on my 2008 F150. I checked everywhere behind the kick panel all the way up the side wall including behind and on the back of the fuse box, I dropped the glove door and searched the air box...nothing. Is there anyplace I'm missing? I have had no problem locating the sticker in the past but this f150 has me stumped. Thanks in advance !!
I found it thank you
mine is on a 06 ford fusion. can the code be found in the fuse panel on this make and model
Is the procedure the same for a 2nd Gen Explorer(1995-03)? I plan to get a 2nd Gen Explorer sometime next spring.
since the factory code is always set in the module, is it hard to replace the module itself so my friends ex husband can't get in her truck anymore? its an 08 ford sport trac v8
Hello.I have a 2002 Ford Explorer AWD & found a 5 digit code on side panel by seatbelt area but it’s not working the module is made by SIEMENS what do you think it’s wrong.Thanks
Thank you very much, the Ford dealership did not explain any of that.
Some times is the code shows up on my dash board on the led display. Not sure why. I think it’s a key sequence on the keyfob
Bought a Ford Explorer entered factory code but door won’t open, how do I reset previous owner personal code back to factory code. Thanks!
Finally i can get in my trunk
I didn't have the factory code so I did a little bit on searching and found a 5 digit number sticker on the steering wheel column way up under the dash. Got that tip from the Ford Stealership.
Stealer??
Lol
Lol
Thanks!! Just found it small numbers in the back of the fuse box passenger side 2009 ford expedition
My mom bought a 08 Taurus X sell from a used car lot and she don’t have the card with the code. I know some where hidden in the vehicle is a tag or sticker with the code. Could you please help me find that code. Thank you and I appreciate your videos very professional and methodical
I have a 2008 Lincoln mark LT i I don't have the code where I can find it
i already look for it in passenger side under the dashboard and pcm under the hood... tnx

I found my master code under the center console on a bar code that was on a ECM (I believe) that said fomoco it was the last 5 digits of the bar code on it. Of coarse I had to remove the center console was not that hard to do . Source: Ford escape 2011 2.4 liter
I have a 2005 explorer that will not crank and a anti theft light is blinking have tryed everything I know to do can not fix it but when you try to crank it there is a clicking noise under the dash
I bought a 2012 expedition got the factory code off the back of the fuse panel but it doesn't work wat else could be the problem???
thank u, sir
interesting info
Hello, I have a 2010 Ford Explorer it has the entry code, i can lock the car with the Code but I can’t unlock it . Am I doing something wrong!?
Any code input in the pad will unlock the door... literally any combination of numbers. Over tried erasing the codes but nothing works. Any ideas?
I erased the factory code by mistake on the key code scream , and now can’t get it back is there some way to restive it
We purchased a used pcm with no keys included and installed it to the vehicle but when key is inserted security light blinks 1 blink and 3 blinks and it won't crank. Do we have to return the pcm or do we have to marry it to the bcm then we can program a new key?
+Caballes Caballes you must program the pcm to the vehicle and to the IC
FordTechMakuloco Thank you so much.
FordTechMakuloco is this the same pcm part number. The used part number is 3L1A-12A650-ABA and original one is 3L1A-12A650-KD? It this part number are not the same will it not work? Thanks for your help.
I would marry the pcm to the bcm so they will have a baby tcm that will supply power to the rcm so you can sit behind the steering wheel and adjust the scm do you can safely drivecm.
What if you dnt hv the card w/the code,how do you program it then? I just bought a 2005 Eddie Bauer & I would like to program mine, any suggestions?
You can find the code if you have both keys. Put first key in turn on but don't start. Wait 4 seconds then turn off put 2nd key in for another 4 seconds code will show up on display. I would like to take credit for this but saw it on another video. I was able to set code with your video. Thanks
My entry code might've been reset, so how do I go about changing it myself now? I have the factory code, but it's not working. Thanks
If you have the factory code and even that is not working your keypad may be faulty we have seen this before from water.
And if the water did it how you fixed
Antonio Elias WITH A NEW KEYPAD
My truck did not come with the keypad to unlock my truck. I checked in the door and the wiring harness was there to install one. I purchased one from the dealer. I have the original card code. How do I program a personal code? I tried the factory code but it did not work? Help!
Hello ,What diagnostic program did you use .thx for answer
I did changed the code on a 2011 Mercury Milan and even a 2015 Ford Escape. These 2 vehicles that I used to have. My current vehicle that I changed the code at the dealership. It was easy to do. Even my sister’s 2013 Ford Edge as an easy code to remembered and her vehicle was my mother’s. I won’t say anything or typed in the codes. It is personal and private.
Hey bro I have 2008 f150 1 door 8fit box I’m looking to see we’re is the location for key password code thanks
I have a 2001 ford windstar lost the card years ago
Where can I find the code on my van
Great tips to know, thanks! But I just found out that repeatingly pressing the one button unlocks my door no matter what my key code is anybody have any idea why that is? Somewhat of a security risk
Previous owner probably used a customized code like
12121, 11111, 22222, 11222. Random 1 and 2 will have the same result. Same button.
Program a new code of your own.
Hi.. I know my code to my 2004 ford expedition.. However, its now not working for some reason.. I haven't had any issue the entire time Ive had it. So, since day one. Now this.. Will this work for me? I am not comprehending your. video though. Do I have to go to a dealer to reprogram or are you using a laptop or something? please forgive my ignorance at this time..
What can I do to get in my F150 my battery is dead and my keys are in truck because I just use my keyless code
Hey man thanks for the info. I've got the clicking actuator out but I can't find a replacement. Can you help with a (good) part number
You don't have to pay a dealer to get original code,it's located on the module on a white label with original code on label with the 5 numbers.Located in fuse box on passanger side foot mat.
You do if you can't get into the truck at all to even look..
So if you don't have the factory code? How can I program it?
Hello friend I have a grand marquis 2006 I am from Venezuela and look for the code on the door and it is not. Could you help me to encode the code of my car?
How did they charge to look up the code? I went to my 'ford dealership' and they wanted to charge me $400 an hour and said it might take up to 5 hours!
