Where is my keyless remote code # ?

I recently purchased a used 2004 Explorer, I don't know where to find the code for the keyless remote. The owners manual tells me to look at the Computer box, where can I find that? The dealer tried to contact the previous owner but he/she doesn't reply. I could drive the 65 miles back to the dealer to get it but I thought I would try here 1st.

Are you referring to the keyless keypad, or the remote keyless entry fob? I think you're talking about the keypad???


When I purchased my pre-owned Navigator and Mercury Sable, I found the vehicle's computer in the region above the driver’s pedals. I believe it was a black slim box, slightly smaller than a VHS tape with a large number of cords running to it. You should find a sticker on the computer with a 5 digit number (your keypad code). Hope that helps…and have a flashlight handy
Good Luck,

Joe

On my 2000 expl. its over the rear drivers side wheel. I had to look back into the compartment over the wheel. Had to use a mirror to read the code. I dunno if your is the same... I hope it helps

You’re correct. On my 1997 Explorer you can find the code where you mentioned. However, newer Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Products have the code on the computer, as is the case with my 2001 Lincoln Navigator and Merc. Sable.
Good luck,
Joe
