It was easy to find the code on the module under the dash. Lay your head by the gas peddle, look up behind the radio, see black box with at least 3 (about 20 pin) wire plugs going into it, get a mirror up in there so you can see the TOP SIDE of the black box and write down the 5 digit code you see in block letters. The code is reversed in the mirror so try it both ways. lol

Did this to my 01, just kept plugging away till i found it got lucky and the first one was the factory reset....took about 15 min.
ive heard on some of the newer ones it locks you out after a few tries so you have to use the key once and then keep pluggin away.....
great trick though until someone tries to steal your truck this way.

Which is why you NEED put an alarm on your rig (or put your {Insert bad a$$ dog here} inside)...this "feature" will let a thief right in to steal your stuff.
Who am I kidding...if they want your stuff, they will get it...the alarm just gives you time to get your shotgun.

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 deactivated or twice if auto-lock was activated.

Does this work on a 2000 Model? I have tried this but never heard the horn or had it lock/unlock.
I was lucky the day I went to the dealer and he gave my master code at no charge! I guess the smaller town dealers are a little more willing to get my business than a bigger area dealer!

As usual with FTE...Awesome info in these forums! I used the info in this thread to find the master Keypad code on my new-to-me 2004 Excursion. After 20 minutes of working my way through the number list, and having to wait for the keypad to reset after xx attempts (the Key On-Key Off trick did not work for me) I tried method number 2....use a flashlight and a mirror.
