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.

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!

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)

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.

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.

Perfect timing man. Just yesterday I was wondering if I could add my own personal code. Thanks for the easy & quick tutorial.

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.

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

Thank you. I tried to program a personal code once with written instructions but couldn't. Watching this I had no problems.

Replaced all four door lock actuators and saw your video.. Thank you your video was easy to do and worked great .. Thanks again.. 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻

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 KZfaq 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.

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.

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!!!

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

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!

great video. i have a 2005 ford Excursion 6.0 l. I got the code from the dealer and just now change it to my own code. this video is great!! mine last two buttons lock the doors but the rest of the buttons does not work the only way to unlock all the door is from inside of the door panne. thanks again

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..!

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.

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.

I found mine inside the box where the fuse panel is....take off the cover, if it has one, and look inside that box. It's a tight fit, but it's under th steering column. There's a white sticker with 5 numbers. That is your keypad code. WALAH! EASY AND FREE!!!!

Wow! Never knew. Very helpful. Thank you.

This worked for my 2014 Ford Escape. The 5-6 didn't open my lift gate though. No biggie. Thank you sir!

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.

on my 2010 Edge the door code is printed on the inside of the fuse compartment cover in the driver-side footwell.

Thank you very much, the Ford dealership did not explain any of that.

Awesome! Thank you. Love all your informative videos. Hope you are well!

Great video, quick and to the point. As dumb as I am, even I could reprogram my code!! ha ha....thanks a lot.

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.

Thank you so much. Now all I need is a mask and find myself nice looking car

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.

Mine was under the door panel on the module and super easy to find and read.

The code is in the vehicle, passenger side under the glove box. You don't have to take it anywhere for anything.

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

Thx I looked at the manual and it wasn’t working but when I watched your vid it worked lol

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.

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

Who else came here to keep other people from getting into your car just to find out it doesn’t work to keep them out lol

Each episode of FordTechMakuloco starts like a Game of Thrones episode... :) Nice Music

I just put my first key in the ignition, turned it to the on position, turned it off then removed the key and put my second key in and turned it to the on position and read the code on the dash display. I have a 2014 F150. Took 15 seconds.

If you had to both set of keys just put the first key in first do not turn over the car engine leave the key in 4 second and put the second key in the exact same way and your code will pop up on your dashboard. This works on 2007 Ford's and up. Check out KZfaq videos on your problem before you go to any dealer.

Thank you so much for your info. You helped me figure it out. God bless brother.

That was easy. I didn't have a key fob, so I just locked it and then did what the sequence says. Now my new number is, oh never mind...NSA might see.

Find the RAP panel. The code is listed on a white sticker behind that panel. I just found mine. 2014 F-150 was on the front passenger side floor board on the RT.

Thanks this was really helpful

I think push the last number twice for all the doors too. At least the old ones. Enter code plus the last number twice

QUICK NOTE! if you have a ford expedition the original code is printed on the key code module. if you look to the left of your break peddle and up you will see the module. it has the original code printed on it. Hope i saved you some time!

Just look behind the panels inside...the removable ones, or look for a white box located straight up from the brake pedal.

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!

You can also get the code from under by the brakes on the white box there’s a sticker

I couldn't remember my code ....i asked my daughter and she gave it to me from memory...lol

Or don’t waste money and just look on the fuse box.. it’s pretty simple. Has the code on a sticker. All are required. The cars for ford have the on the drivers side up under the steering wheel on a sticker as well 😂

Thank you

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

I would've thought that a channel that name is "Ford Tech" would know that the factory code is on the factory security module under the dash. Depends on year where its located but i have an 03 and that year its under the dash passenger side. it has a big white sticker in the middle of the module with 5 numbers on n it. YOUR WELCOME

Succinct description. I am about to try this but, when you say, "Press 1, 2" it sounds like you want two presses, a one and a two. What you did was press the button labled [1 2] once. Other videos talking about this do the same thing. When we press the [1 2] button twice we get a wrong digit as the first digit and our code doesn't work.

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

Thanks your tutorial helped me out a lot thanks so much

What if your keys were locked in the car and you don’t have factory code?

Love the videos especially the ones on the 5.4

Great video saved me 150.00.

The code is located on passenger side floor panel on sticker on black box

If u have a Crown Vic, check the inner trunk lid for a sticker with your 5 digit code.

Thanks man you helped me very much

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.

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

That's unfortunate. I have someone that knows my code and they've become a safety concern now.

Finally i can get in my trunk

no need to go to any dealer or shop to find out the default pin # its located in the passager side kick panel on the back side of bcm there a sticker the code is on it

Worked great for my 2010 Expedition! thank you!!

Thank you it worked

2012 ford escapes in under the center counsel

Or you can find code on module behind fuse box under dash

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!

Worked great thank you!!

or you can just look under your passanger door kick panel and there will be a sticker there with the code 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.

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

Great tips

My buttons don't work or light up anymore fuse issues or disconnect the battery????

great info ! thanks

Maybe it's just me but i don't see the point of changing the factory code unless you want to give someone else access to your car for a certain amount of time then changing it after besides that i just use the factory code and the code it mounted on a sticker in passenger kick panel on top of the module fyi

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

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

The factory code is on the module inside the door panel. No need to spend $80 at the dealership.

Let me know how to locate where my spare key is now. I cant seem to find that thing anywhere.

Mine was under the dash to the left of the steering shaft. Should be 5 digits followed by a L, at least for me that's where and what it was.

Thank you so much So I have ford transit 250 2017 How can I setup my Keypad?

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

What's wrong when pad quits working, rest of door unlock and lock, such as fob and keys? pad will lock doors and that's all.

Wrong. It's also located behind the Fuze panel on the top right of the sticker

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

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 vid

Hey man my button for rear defrost is stuck I can't get it to switch on. Also, rear vents won't blow hot air

I have a 2001 ford windstar lost the card years ago Where can I find the code on my van

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???

when I bought my expedition the dealer didn't know the code. Through some google searches I found out that the factory code is on a sticker on the outside of some type of module in the truck. mine is located up kinda where your left toe would be while driving.

On my Town Car the code is written on a sticker on the trunk hinge.
