Door code lost
So I just recently purchased my new to me F250. It has the keypad on the door but for the life of me I can’t find the code anywhere from every video I’ve seen on YouTube. I’ve looked everywhere, how else can I get the code. Unfortunately I also only have 1 key as well, so can’t use that method.
besides dealer what other options do I have ?
thanks in advance

You could try this to see if it works, as I believe it is applicable to our trucks. As tortue71 also said, FORScan will also work.
Using the Integrated Keyhead Transmitters
You can display the factory-set code in the information display, but to do this, you will need two programmed passive anti-theft keys. Make sure you have a pen and paper or have a smartphone cam ready in photo mode.

- Insert one key into the ignition and switch on for a few seconds.
- Then remove the key and repeat with the second key.
- Sometimes, before the factory-set code will display other warning messages will appear, and then for a few seconds the factory code.
- Either write down the code or take a quick photo of it.

- Slide the first programmed key in the backup slot inside the center console.
- Make sure the key ring is at the tip, and the buttons are facing the rear.
- Now press the START/STOP button once, wait a few seconds and then press it again and then remove the key.
- Now slide out the key and slide in the second key and press the START/STOP button.

Try looking in your owners manual case in the glove box. There was a slip a paper in mine with the 5 digit code that belongs to the truck. I used the Sync screen to change to a number that the wife and I agreed on.

That would be optimal mainly becuse it opens the door to a world of the “little things” you want to change. That said, there’s a good chance someone in your area would help you out if you are in or near a large city.

I believe some trucks have the code printed on the BCM behind the passenger kick panel. Mine didn't, but I understand that some do.

I searched and peeked all around the passenger side kick panel, I can’t find the code and honestly don’t even know what the BCM looks like. On my previous ford I found it easily.
i looked through all the paperwork as well, no where to be found.

That way you will have 2 if you loose one. You need 2 to program an additional key yourself.
