My wife has an 02 Explorer that has a keypad lock by the drivers door. We never got the combination for it when we bought it from the PO. Can I use AE to get that info or change the comb. to something new? I know this is the diesel forum, but I thought the process might be the same as a lariat model. Figure there's more knowledge of AE on this side of the house! Thanks.
The keyless entry module should be located under the plastic cover of the passenger side B-pillar. That's where it was on my '05 Explorer. Should be in the same place on the '02. The factory 5 digit code is on the sticker on the module. I pulled the rubber door seal and popped the cover off far enough to see the code. You can program it to what you want afterwards.
Keyless Entry Keypad Code Programming
Enter the permanent factory keyless entry keypad code.
Press the 1/2 button within five seconds to activate the programming mode. Holding the 1/2 button for more than two seconds after activation will erase the stored customer code. The existing code will not need to be erased to program new a code.
Within five seconds, enter the new five-digit keyless entry keypad code. The door locks will lock and unlock to confirm the new code is programmed.
