2006 F250 - Where to find the factory Keypad code?

canadajin · #1 (**permalink**) 07-03-2009, 03:02 PM

I was reading my manual on how to change the keypad code and it said you have to enter the factory code which can be found on a new owners card or on the computer module. Being that I am not the original owner and the card is long gone, could someone direct me to where the computer module is that apparently contains the factory keypad code?

Thanks for everyone's help thus far in my previous post. I'm really enjoying my truck! I look forward to enough posts to be able to put my signature up.

i might be wrong here, but i seem to recall someone asking this before..

i think its on the backside of the PCM behind the kickpanel (drivers side ?)...

Yeah, I found the previous post saying it was behind and up from the large ashtray/cubby except I don't have one of those below my electronic brake but I removed the panel below the steerig wheel and just about got my head stuck but found the PCM... The only thing is I can only see the first 3 numbers!

When I get home from work, I'll get a long piece of dowling and try and move the insulation away to see that last two numbers.

Well, a two foot piece of 1/4inch dowling did the trick and it revealed the last two numbers. I must have banged my head 3 times on the tilt handle getting into position to see it. But, it saved me a trip to the dealerhsip and a $30 fee to hook it up to the code reader...

Now when my wife locks the keys in the truck....and I know she will

....we have a back up.
