Hello.....can anyone help me out with the number keypad thing on the door for the locks??? I got a 2008 F-250 SD 4x4 Lariat 6.4L Diesel and i bought it used a few months ago. The dealership was trying to get a hold of the old owner to get the keypad combo from the original owner but couldn't and they told me that it can be reprogrammed but for a hefty fee (of course!!) Does anyone out there know how to reprogram the door lock keypad code that can share the info with me.....I'd like to have the ability to use the keypad in case of locking my keys in...but i don't wanna pay an arm and leg for it!!

As always, any info is much appreciated...thanks!

 

I'm assuming you dont have the card with the master code on it anywhere. For my 05, its located on the keyless entry module I believe. Not 100% but I think its located up under the dash to the left of the radio.

But not sure where it would be for your 08. Might get a better answer in the right forum...

 

is the module a box or something, what does it look like?? is the code just printed on it or something like that?? do you have to take apart the dash to view it or just look under it??

 

The dealer shouldn't have to reprogram anything, they can look it up, i'm not sure if they do it with a scan tool or what. We bought an 08 ford edge from a private party who didn't know the code, we took it to the dealer and they had us show proof of ownership and they retrieved the code for $30

 

what part of illinois you from? I might be able to retrieve it with my AE for free. I seen the option in there but never tried it...

Like I said not sure about the 08's. I did a quick google search and some people report that ford stop putting them on the module. Havnig it pulled might be the only way...

 

here ya go hope it helps...

i found this at the ford truckworld forum

How to find the Security Keyless Keypad Code on the 2002, 03, 04 & 2005 Ford Excursion, F250, F350 and how to use the Keypad functions.
When your vehicle was newly purchased from the dealer it came with a card in the owner?s manual packet that had the keypad code on it. The packet is often lost over time and as the vehicle trades owners the code to the Keyless Entry is lost. Ford Dealers wants some big money to get the code for you by plugging in their computer to retrieve the code or using the following method. There is a much easier way for you to get the code and you don?t need any tools or automotive knowledge. I?ll show you how and where to find the code and how to reset the Keyless Entry back to the factory code or your personal code number.

There are three ways to find to it. One is a lot easier than the other but less work if you have a good eye and great flashlight. There are some Excursions, F250 and F350s that have a different wiring system so the first location to look is just above the right front kick panel; the RAP module is black in color with the numbers on the front the same as the white module. If you look above the kick panel you can see it really clear without taking anything apart. If it is not at this location please follow the next step.







This part is not hard to do you will need to remove the front cover under the steering wheel that says fuse box. (It has 4 plastic screws to remove) under the dash, the five (5) digit code is on the Cream/white box behind the radio, look to the top right of the open fuse box cover through the wires. (Towards the fire wall look through where my finger is pointing). At the back firewall, look for a 5 digit code on a sticker on a cream/white box. This is not easy but if you try every angle I promise it will appear don?t forget to use a very powerful flashlight if you want to see it. The RAP module sometimes is covered by insulation making it almost impossible to see. It is located on the firewall behind the radio just below the windshield.

The second way is a more time consuming job because you have to remover the stereo and to the rear you?ll be able to see the 5 digit code very easy. This process can take 2-10 minutes.

This is a picture of the Remote Anti-theft Personality (RAP) module. This is the module you are looking for there is nothing that identifies it as the RAP module (Some RAP modules are Black in color & it could also be up side down). It is the only box in the dash with the large bold type set with five numbers on it these is the five (5) digit code you will need from the module (my numbers were 35737). Write this number down this is the factory code for your Keyless Entry.
Now that you?ve got the code I?ll tell you how to use the Keyless entry and set-up your own code.
Make sure when pressing the controls on the keyless entry keypad you press the middle of the buttons to ensure good contact with the controls.
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 within five seconds of step 1.
3. Enter your personal 5-digit code. Enter each digit within five seconds of the previous one.
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. The factory-set code can not be erased.
Erasing your own personal code or a prior owners code and leaving only the factory-set code
1. Enter the factory-set code.
2. Press the 1/2 control within five seconds of step one 1.
3. Press the 7/8 and 9/0 controls at the same time within five seconds of step two.
The system will now only respond to the factory-set code.
Unlocking the doors with the Keyless Entry System
1. Enter either the factory-set code or the personal code (Each digit must be pressed within five seconds of the prior digit). The interior lights will illuminate as soon as the first valid digit is pressed.
2. To unlock all the doors, enter the factory set code or a personal code and press the 3/4 control within five seconds of the drivers door unlocking.

Locking the doors wit the Keyless Entry System
1. Press 7/8 and 9/0 controls at the same time. The 5-digit code does not have to be entered to lock the doors.
Deactivating/Activating Auto-lock
1. Enter the five 5-digit code.
2. Press and hold 7/8 control.
3. Press and release 3/4 control while holding 7/8 control.
4. Release 7/8 control.
The horn will chirp once if auto-lock was deactivate

 

Per the above instructions, Lay on your back in the drivers footwell and look under the dash behind the radio.
You may have to move some wire harnesses and insulation but it's there.
This is how I found mine.
Dealer probably would do the same and charge you.
Good luck.

 

thanks for the info everybody.........im gonna check for the code today when i get home from work, hopefully i'll be good to go with it!!!

 

no go.....do you have maybe a pic of what the code or the box looks like?? i cant seem to find it and it looks like nothing is back there that i can get at except a blower motor thing for the climate controls.

 

Wow, my dealer pulled my code for me for free.....

It may of had something to do with the truck already being in there for work, but when I asked how much it would cost, she said "nothin". Looked at my bill, and it wasn't on there either.

 

If you can find the thread I posted above I believe it also had pictures in the text. I could search for it but I'm on a phone right now and pages are slow to load. Check the date and name of the thread at the top of the post and look through the archives. Should still be there.

 

tankillr,
Look in the 6.0L Tech folder and scroll to the bottom.
There is an entry titled Keyless entry.
This is the post Axlerod pasted to you. Last I looked it had photos.
The photos may not be exactly like yours but mine was waaay up behind the radio where the dash meets the firewall.
You have to feel around up there for it and move some wire harnesses and insulation to read it.
Get a good flashlight and if your like me, some reading glasses. The numbers are pretty large but the way its mounted they are backwards. Mine was also covered with dust and I had to wipe it off several times.
Good Luck.

 

I have an 05 and I dont remember exactly how I found it, but I had it reprogramed within hours after having it in my driveway. Im pretty sure all the clues needed are in the manual.

 

Yup, if you have it and the credit card size card with the factory pin# on it.
