found the code but no action

ok first off i would like to thank you all for the info on finding the code.. i just got my first super duty last night and thought i could really use this as much as i have been known to lock my keys in things(which most of the time is from my boy hitting the lock when he gets out of our trailblazer)

anyways i reached up blindly and peeled off the sticker and have my code.. the label has a bar code, says bosch, and has a fcc id, so it has to be the right one.. the 5 digit code is in bigger bolder numbers.. now i tried to enter them and got nothing.. as i understand it even if the code has been personalized by a previous owner the factory code will always work.. any insight will be appreciated..

P.S. i got a 2003 f 350 6.0l 4x4 crew cab drw short bed.. 113k miles
all stock and plan on only egr delete, coolant filter, and gauges.. maybe cat back..

Did you try it with the door closed and locked? Maybe one of the buttons has a bad contact?

If you push the last 2 buttons on the right simultaneously, it should lock all doors.

ok.. i tried i several more times tonight.. first thing i did was wait for the light to go out then push each button to see if it at least lit up.. all of them did.. i have noticed that if i use random numbers it blinks and wont work, but if i continuously put in the code i have found it doesnt do it..

Ok. Try entering your code again and press the 3/4 button right after the last digit in your code. Hitting that button unlocks all doors.

Typically when you enter the 5 digit code, only the driver's door unlocks. I'm thinking maybe your lock actuator is worn on the driver's door and won't unlock. If you hit the 3/4 button right after your code, it will activate all doors and maybe it'll unlock the other doors.

If it unlocks, then that is your master code.

Yup. Your actuators are good. Sorry.

Maybe you'll need to go to the dealer and have them either give you the correct code or fix it.

Does your keypad look like this?

2004 F250 Kaypad Battery Replacement

Or is it much thinner.

the factory ones should be wired in. at least they are on newer models. Id say take it to the dealer and they can probably reset it or something.

I was thinking he might have a stick on one. But apparently not.

For some reason, the code on the module is not the right one. He'll probably have to have the dealer read it.
