Smile Change Keyless Code

I HAVE A 2002 FORD EXPEDITION I BOUGHT USED. THEREFORE I DO NOT HAVE AN OWNERS MANUAL. DOES ANYONE KNOW THE PROCEDURE TO CHANGE THE CODE ON MY KEYLESS ENTRY PAD? I MADE THE MISTAKE OF GIVING MY 12YEAR OLD THE CODE. HE HAS DECIDED TO SHARE THE CODE WITH HIS FRIENDS. NOT A GOOD IDEA!
NOW I AM CONCERNED WITH THE CODE BEING OUT THERE.
PLEASE HELP!
LUCY

Lucy, you can't change the factory code, you can only add a second code.

Thanks For Replying.
So If I Add A Second Code, Will The 1st One Be Disabled Automatically?

No, the factory code always works. You can only add or change the second code. The second code is for us memory challenged.

The only other option is to disable it completely, You could change the module by the emergency brake but that would be costly.

Children forget very fast. In order to enter a second code you must first enter the factory code. Do a search for the procedure and then Ebay a owners manual.

To add a second code:

1. Key in the original five-digit code.

2. Press the [1|2] button.

3. Key in the desired additional code (must be five digits).

4. You're done. You now have two codes to work the locking system. If you ever want to erase the additional code, follow steps 1 and 2, then key in the original code.

PaulC,
Thanks for the info.
I tried it and works wonderfully.

KevinCW,
You are right, they do forget fast but only what is convenient to them.
Adding a second code has worked really good.

Thanks,
Lucy

So how do you find out what the code is if you have never had it? Case in point, I just baught my '99 Expy and the dealer did not know the code.

Limber? Look under the dashboard on the drivers side. Up above the area where the parking brake is located is a box with a paper sticker that contains a five-digit code. That's what you're looking for.

I stole this illustration from another site member. Hope he won't mind:



It's on the white box. In this case, it's 11935.

That's odd that you can't change the factory setting. I mean, what if you got a divorce and your ex-wife is a vindictive beach, and she decides to mess with your truck? Or worse yet, an insane ex-girlfriend? That's just silly!

It seems to me that you could swap out that little white box with a new one, or one out of a junkyard, and change the code that way. It might be a pain in the butt, but at least no crazy women would be able to get in your truck.

(I in no way resemble these remarks, but a friend of mine just broke up w/ his GF, and she is a total beach, and would definately mess with his truck or steal everything out of it, given the chance)

The original code is there to stay, barring any hardware swaps. However, you have the ability to key in a second code that can be changed/erased anytime. Just keep the first code a secret and if you have to give the code to another party, give out the easily-changable second one.
