After reading this string of successes and failure to find the code I figured it was worth an attempt anyway. I found the code on my 2002 Explorer Limited just below the Pillar/ Seat-belt adjuster. It was on the module, but low and behold in their infinite wisdom the module manufacturer decided to place a yellow sticker stating "Programming Required" on top of the White Sticker with all the module information. I was able to remove the yellow sticker with a razor knife and long needle nose pliers enough to get see the numbers with a mirror and flashlight. I had to guess at one number because of the residue left from the sticker.

We just purchased a 2008 Expl XLT with keyless entry. Of course the code is not in the vehicle, and we bought it at a BMW dealership. They are going to try and contact the former owner for the code. But the owners manual says it is also on the module. Any ideas where that might be on a 08?

Thanks

In the 2008 the Remote Keyless Entry functions are performed by the Smart Junction Box (SJB). The SJB is listed as "under the dash panel, left hand side". It will likely be piggyback with a fuse panel. Check for a 5-digit number on a sticker down around the brake and parking brake pedals.

Do you have an inspection mirror or borescope? Maybe a dentist friend that will let you borrow one of his little mirrors?

Take vehicle to a Ford Dealer and they can hook up to it and provide you with codes in no time at all, I have had to do it with 2 vehicles

Sure, but typically the dealers charge quite a fee to access the keyless code. Finding the sticker on the module is free.

That sounds like the cost for the key. I had one made at a hardware store and they charged $75 for a key

I tried ACE hardware and they couldn't make one for mine.
He said they could make some.
Dealer said the computer had to be programed for my new key.

Had mine made at ACE, they just needed the existing key to program the new key. Took it out and tried it right away and no problems with it.
