Keyless entry
I just purchased a 2002 Explorer XLT. it has a keyless entry but no code. I checked the owners manual and it siad to look at the "computer module". Can anyone tell me where this is located. someone mentioned on the passenger kick panel around the fuel reset button? is this right. thanks in advance.... Charlie

I just talked to a friend at Ford. He said the code is not labelled on the computer module, nor anywhere on the X as it was on previous years. You have to take it in and let them hook it up to the machine and it will read it from the computer module.

For your '99, it's the cover on the driver's side in the cargo area, the place where the jack is stowed. "Battery cable box" is a little misleading- this is a good place to STORE your battery cables! There is a computer module in this area, towards the front of the vehicle. You'll need a flashlight and a mirror to see it, but there is a sticker on this module, and printed on this sticker is the 5-digit keyless code. Again, it's tough to see; try pulling back on the plastic cover a bit to read it.
As for the 2002, that's in a different area. I'm working on it, should have an answer later today.

Still trying to find this sticker. Checked with my service manager- we don't charge a customer just to hook up their vehicle to pull the keyless code. Hopefully you can find a local dealer willing to do the same.

THANKS!!! I just bought a 1995 Explorer XLT and the only place the manual mentions the "computer module" is when it talks about the code. It never says where it is or how to get the number. I read this string and found mine using the shiny blade of a butter knife and a flash light. It is in the cargo area where the jack and the rear washer reserve are. Mine was a gray plastic box with a bunch of wires going in and out that was located to your right as you face the opening. It has a white sticker on the side with 5 large numbers. Larger then the other numbers and words on the sticker.

Ok but what if some one changed the code? Like a previous owner. Thankfully I am the proud owner of an 03 EB but lets just say this happens to a friend will the factory code still work?
