Anyone had to track down the factory default code for their keypad door locks? The manual says to look for a sticker on the computer. Best I can tell, that means the unit bolted to the firewall on the passenger side in the engine compartment. But there's nothing on there that looks like a keypad PIN. The service guy at the dealer just kind of shrugged, "I think it's hidden under the dash somewhere". Then he offered to hook it up to their reader for 80 bucks to tell me the code. Riiight...

So, fellow FTEers, any suggestions?

 

Sorry, only one I know of is the one on the card you get when you buy the truck.

 

I read months ago that it is located on the tag on the computer under the dash. the dealer would be able to point you in the right direction. hope that helps.

 

I had a problem with this and took it to the dealer and they hooked it to the computer and gave me the number. The only location physically is the card you get when you buy your truck.

 

I didn't get a card with mine (04 FX4). The dealer said that the only way to get the code was from the computer and they did....

 

My salesman asked me if I wanted him to keep my truck code filed in case of an emergency, like if I lose it.I told him I wanted him to keep it in his file.I thought that was a great idea.They used to put the codes inside the glove box.Good Luck!

 

The code is on a black module behind the back seat on the cab wall. Just completed this seat removal crisis and was glad its over. Simple though , just cram a 1x4 between the bottom bar and the seat bar. Push back and jack up at the same time.Remove the nuts in the middle belt box first though.

 

Hey powerglide,

Welcome to the group. I just have to ask one question. Why is it that you were removing the back seat anyway? Are you doing an audio install or something? Just curious.

 

Because the security module and code for keypad are behind the back seat.

 

Oh... ....ok.........I was actually kind of hoping that it was some kind of elaborate custom audio install that you were doing. Because I am currently in the design stage of a custom audio / video install for my ride.

 

Can anyone think of a good secure place we could write down our keypad code on the outside of the vehicle?I know for myself it would be nice to have it written down where it would be accessible in case of an emergency.A permanent marker or Sharpie might work?Finding the hidden location is the big question.It would need to be a place that stays fairly clean and dry.Thanks!

 

Go by the book and re set it to your birthday or something simple you have no trouble remembering. Easy to do!

 

If you ever need to write down a PIN or locker combo, just find a 10 letter word or phrase where the letters aren't duplicated.

IE: FURNACE OIL

This way you can write "FOAC" (1,8,5,6) and no one will know what it means.. It's a little awkward at first, but I've been using "my" word for almost 20 years & it's come in handy and I can code/decode it instantly...

Good Luck & I hope this helps..

Hey Ruckus...I stored my code# in my cell phone "phonebook" titled "F-150 entry". Or anything else you wanted it named. Most of us all have our phones 24/7. Or write on the inside of your "fuel door".

 

one more place.....write it with a sharpie on some "white medical tape" and stick it under the tailgate handle. Hope this helps!
