2005 Sport Trac Keyless Code
Seems like everybody buying a "previously owned"
keyless entry system vehicle did not get the code
from the SELLING ( not Ford) DEALER. I too am looking for the code,
have they moved it on the 2005, or am I having to
visit the dealer here & beg for a code ?. Just purchased the
truck, so far so good !. ( this one is mint !, with only
15,500 mi, looks NEW).

Keyless entry security issue
I have a 2000 explorer with door entry code. I have the master code but so does previous owner, since that is the only code they used. If I change the code to a personal code, can the previous owner still over-ride and get into the vehicle using the master code? I'm getting mixed signals on this and it seems like a security issue Ford would have thought of. Especially in the case where someone buys a car from the guy next door.

hook up the computer & read the installed factory code,
for about $68.00, & yes the personal code entry would not
overwrite the factory code........maybe the next trip in to the
dealer , I may spring for the $$$$$. Think that Ford would
address the re-sell problem someway !!!. GG

Anti-Theft Alarm Problems
Hi I have a '98 Ford Explorer Sport limited Eddie Bauer Addition and I have been having problems with it starting. I brought it up to my machanic and he said that it's my anti-theft system was activated like it's been stolen which is causing the anti-theft system to not allow the truck to start. He really didn't think he could reset it and thought I need to bring it to a dealership. Do I have to take it right to Ford? Or is there a way to deactivate it or reset it. I have lost my keyless entry and I never got the code for the door keypad. I am going to try and find the code in the places listed on one of the forums but I really don't know how to fix this. If anyone has any ideas it would be great!

I just bought an 06 also and had to have the dealer get the code from the computer they did it no problem so bring it to the dealer you bought and will pull it from the computer for free or atleast they better it only takes a few minutes. It 's part of customer service and probally a under ford warranty anyways since it's a ford installed feature and you can't use it w/o the code.

I'm not sure how the key fob replacement changes the keyless code..but I looked up your 1997 owners manual up and got the proceedure.
you need to pick a new 5 digit code, then enter in the factory code then press the 1/2 button, you'll have 5 seconds to enter in your new code, go slow though so the system can tell what buttons you are pushing(if that makes sense). that's it. make sure you have your keys with you in your pocket when doing this!!!!!!!!!! lock your doors and try the code to see if it took. if not to clear the code to start over do this re-enter the factory code within 5 sedconds press the 1/2 button then wait 6 seconds. repeat the above steps be re-entering the factory code then so on. hope this helps.

Eddie
Thank you so very much. Where did you find it in the manual? I may not have a complete manual is there a site I can go to.
I figured out that the information I needed was "How to program the remote entry"
That information then allows me to replace that thing that has three buttons and opens the door from outside.
The instructions are on this site and I will be happy to share info if you would like to have it.
Thank you for your time

Anyway, I know this question has been asked and answered to death, but I am still trying to find the keypad code on my 2002 Explorer XLT. I know it's supposed to be on the computer module under the trim on the passenger side rear door pillar, but how on earth do you pry that out without breaking it? I can get a screw driver under the top or side, but the thing doesn't seem to want to budge. Any suggestions? I'd just ask our friendly neighborhood Ford dealer, but the closest one is an hour away...
