Touchpad code

I've read all the questions and answers about finding the code for the keyless touch pad, but it seems as if the code location changes from year to year. I just bought a 2003 Expedition(previous rental) and can't find the code or the relay in any of the previously identified locations. My dealer wants $75.00 to cough it up. Does anyone know where it is located?

Just for laughs, look in the packet that contains the owner's manual (if you have it) for a credit card-sized piece of plastic that contains the five number code.

That was a mighty quick reply. Thank you very much! I should have mentioned that the vehicle came without an owner's manual (I had to buy one) or the card. I did find a dollar under the seat though.

The older models were equipped with a RAP module with the code written on the side of it. Now they use a CSM and you have to retrieve it using NGS scanner or WDS or any compatible scanner.

I think I would have a talk with the used car manager at the dealership you purchased this vehicle from. Insist on the used car dept providing the code for you. It really only takes a couple of minutes to retrieve the code with an NGS and I think its outragous for the service dept to charge as much as you quoted. I worked for a Ford dealership for 26 yrs and we never charged anyone to retrieve a keyless entry code even when we had to locate the module to retrieve it.

Thank you all for your responses. I am going to my dealer this morning, armed to the teeth with your experienced words of wisdom, and demand that he/she provide me with the code--for FREE!! So it is written...

I also bought mine used from a dealer, and I also had to insist that they provide a owners manual, maintainence schedule book, an extra key for the wife, plus the keypad code for free. After a while they relented...
