Your wonderfull. We just found my daughters code number after looking and asking for 3 years now. Am so happy. We were gonna have to pay 175.00 for dealership to do the same thing. Thanks you and may god bless you. You will be rewarded back in many ways. thanks again

 

Well, my 1999 Eddie Bauer was delivered with a Credit Sized Card, which has the key code on it. I keep it in my wallet.

 

how bout on an '06, any ideas where that code may be located, or should we just make the dealer read the code for us. (of course i wont pay for it, we just brought the thing home)

 

If you just bought your vehicle, you should have the Key Code in your paper work. If not, I would go right back to the dealer and demand that he take care of this situation for you... PRONTO

 

okay heres where we found the code, its an '06 explorer with third row seats. the code was behind the panel in the back, passenger side.

 

I have seen many posts about the location of the entry code on a 2001 Explorer Sport Trac, ie. under defroster, behind rear seats. Can someone explain to me how to remove the back panel (behind the seats) to get to the module without damaging the paneling? I just got the truck and don't want to screw it up... yet.

 

I have a 2001 explorer sport. The manual said that the code was located on the card in the glove box, which didn't come with the vehicle, or marked on the computer module. I looked on the computer module. I couldn't find anything. One day I was checking the blend door, in the heater box. I removed the passenger side air bag, and low and behold, behind the air bag, is the security computer module with the number right on the top. The manual didn't say the security computer module. It just said the computer module. So I spent about a month looking for the damn thing. Glad you finally found yours. I ended up going to the dealer, and hooking up to the machine about two days before I found mine. maybe this reply will help someone else.

Wow.... I have been looking for this code for three years... thank you ALL!!! 02 XLT Explorer.... Mark

 

where would be the most possible spot for the 5 digit code ona 97 limited?

 

I have an 02 Sport Trac. It was in the dash. I'm not sure about a 97 limited.

 

Yeah, well I'm hardly a "newbie," either here, or in the world, or for that matter with Ford, having been an engineer in Dearborn for 15 years, but...

My wife bought a cherry '98 Explorer a couple months ago, and we've just been too cheap to pay the dealer to figure it out for us.
Thanks to this site! I got it this evening:
OK, thanks to all!
, I just went out and opened the jack compartment, took the jack and pryed a little extra room between the module and the trim panel, and could (almost) read five "big" numbers. I thought the last number was either a "0" or an "8," and it turned out to be the latter.
WoooHoooo!
No more carrying car keys around!

 

First- HAY EVERYONE!!

Do I understand that if you use the keyless entry code, you can get in the car and actually start the engine and drive it?

Thanks for enlightement

Sure, if you can find something to make the ignition switch turn...

 

Thanks Redbob

1st impulse: channel-lock pliers? Nahhh!

So, the "luxury" of being able to go around without the key to the vehicle means you cannot operate the vehicle.
Damm!--- I feel dummm!

Hmmm- if I know the keyless entry code I can unlock the car to get the key I left in the ignition!! WoW!!
