We bougt an '03 Expedition XLT with the drivers door keypad but the dealer did not have the code for the keypad.
Thanks to several forum users here, I found the security computer module behind the dash on the passenger side. The number is easy to read when you peak under the dash with a flaslight. It looks like in 2003 the module was moved to the passenger side . . earlier models have it on the drivers side.
OK, once we had the code, the question was what to do with it. Well, thanks to another Ford website - FordF150.net - I found the various options and it was a snap getting it working.
For others benefit, here is the information from the FordF150.net website . . . .
==============
Your vehicle has a factory-set 5-digit code that operates the keyless entry system. The code is located on a sticker on the computer module (RAP). When pressing the controls on the keyless entry keypad, press the middle of the buttons to ensure a good activation.
IMPORTANT: Every step outlined in every procedure below must be done within five(5) seconds of the previous step.
Programming your own personal entry code
1. Enter the factory-set code (keypad will illuminate when first digit is pressed).
2. Press the 1/2 control.
3. Enter your personal 5-digit code.
Your personal code does not replace the factory-set code. You can use either code to unlock your vehicle. Each time you set a new personal code the module will erase the previous one in favor of the new code.
Deprogramming (erasing) your own personal code and leaving only the factory-set
1. Enter the factory-set code.
2. Press the 1/2 control.
3. Press the 7/8 and 9/0 controls at the same time.
The system will now only respond to the factory-set code.
Unlocking the driver's door (also disarms the perimeter alarm system)
1. Enter either the factory-set code or the personal code. The interior lights will illuminate as soon as the first valid digit is pressed.
Unlocking all doors
1. Unlock the driver's door then press the 3/4 control.
Locking the doors (also arms the perimeter alarm system)
1. Press 7/8 and 9/0 controls at the same time. The 5-digit code does not have to be entered.
Deactivating/Activating Autolock
1. Enter the five (5) digit code.
2. Press and release the 3/4 control while holding the 7/8 control, then release 7/8.
=====================
Thanks again for the assistance . . . anyone have any tips on the DOOR AJAR problem? WD-40 did not help . . . .
