I have a 2013 F-150 that was broken into and the factory code to my keyless entry was among the stuff taken from my truck. Now thieves have access to my truck anytime they want. I DESPERATELY need this code changed & I've spent days reading through websites & hundreds of posts and have yet to find information on how I can do this. I have the factory code so I don't need too locate it and I've tried the reprogramming steps that I did find but they only reprogram the personal codes. If anyone has any information that will help me out It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.


Thank guys for the info. Now, assuming that Ford will not be taking responsibility for any past owner or anyone else having my factory door code & potentially entering and/or damaging my truck, does anyone know if its possible to turn off my door keypad, either by a fuse or unplugging it and if its unplugged will it effect the manual unlocking of the door using the key?

 

My understanding is that you can add your own new code but the old code will still be active in the vehicle so basically there will be 2 codes to open the vehicle.
I did this with my 20111 F150 and 2014 Escape, Both vehicles will open with the same code (their original code plus the code from my other vehicle)
I don't think you can eliminate the original code

 

Reading the manual you cannot change the factory code . Maybe a dealer can , the last sentence is the most important one i think . SECURICODE™ KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD (IF EQUIPPED) You can use the keyless entry keypad to lock or unlock the doors without using a key. The keypad can be operated with the factory-set 5-digit entry code; this code is located on the owner’s wallet card in the glove box and is available from your authorized dealer. You can also create up to five of your own 5-digit personal entry codes. Programming a Personal Entry Code You can save up to three personal entry codes. To create your own personal entry code: 1. Enter the factory-set code. 2. Press the 1•2 on the keypad within five seconds. The doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that the system is in programming mode. 3. Enter your personal 5-digit code. You must enter each number within five seconds of each other. 4. Press 1•2 on the keypad to save personal entry code 1. The doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that programming is complete. To program additional personal entry codes, repeat Steps 1–3, then for Step 4: • press 3•4 to save personal entry code 2, or • press 5•6, 7•8, or 9•0 to save personal entry code 3. Tips: • Do not set a code that uses five of the same number. • Do not use five numbers in sequential order. • The factory-set code will work even if you have set your own personal code.

 

simpler to just replace the entire keypad, which will have a brand new code.

 

No it will not have a new code.

 

There is no way to change the factory code. This code is hard programmed to the BCM.

 

good point - didn’t think it through

 

I read in a post years ago that it is possible to change out in some of them, but it is a dealership thing and it is the Code and keys since they changed the Pats Module.

 

Will unplugging the keypad cause any adverse effects with PATS system?

I'd like to disable my keypad because I don't use/like it. And possibly just missed someone trying to gain access through it.

 

I dont think this year f150 has wires to the key pad. I think it is just like a FOB that has double sided tape and stuck to the door... You could look on You Tube and get a method to remove the pad... heat up the tape and saw it off with fishing line.

 

Yes it can be unplugged, it has no effect on the PATs. The plug is in the door by the latch.

 

They key pad is part of the handle and hard wired.

 

It is hardwired to the vehicle, It is also fastened to the vehicle from inside the door, you need to remove the inside door panel to get to it.
