Now I know where to go when I need service &/or parts.
It only took a few minutes - any dealer that cares about customer
service should do it for free.
BTW, I tried looking on the firewall behind the radio, the right kick panel, up under the dash,
through the trash bag holder, and near the rear A/C unit in the storage panel on the RHS.
I didn't try up above the main fuse box near the steering column, or the panel behind
the spare tire storage. Removing the fuse panel was too much work, and removing interior
panels (behind the spare tire) always worries me that I'll break the clips or won't be able
to get the panel installed so that it fits in tight and doesn't rattle after I'm done.
Those are all of the places everyone mentioned in this message thread though.
BTW2 - my wife got part way through the number sequence and gave up about
50 digits before the code appears in the sequence (you can paste the sequence into
Word and search for your code number, if you know it).

Is this "circut" the reason why I can't get the door to unlock when I punch in the code, I wonder? But I can LOCK the door using the last two buttons like the thread says.

I stopped by the dealer today to order an owners manual and I thought I'd ask the service department about the keypad not working with the factory installed code. He said some stuff and said they'd have to retrieve it with their computer ($45). I said that I already have the factory code (that I found on the box) I just want some insight on why the factory code wasn't working... and WHAT wasn't working. I"m pretty mechanical, I can replace it myself if anything is broken. He insisted that the only way you can get the code is with the computer and that it would take 1/2 to 45 minutes. I told him about the box which controls something like 5 or 6 different things and the code is on that, plain as day. He says, "Well who ever wrote that code on there must've wrote the wrong number..." When I said once again that it was a factory sticker on the module he got a confused look and went back to the retrieval with the computer thing.
Grr. Retards. I'll take it to the other Ford dealership. Maybe they'll do it for free.
Whoever had the truck before me never gave the code to the dealer. O'well, I have the code, it just won't unlock the door.

Edit: Just reading in the manual, and the factory code should still unlock, even when a user programmed code is in.

Maybe later years work different than the earlier ones.
Mine's a 2000, and it seemed to be working.
There may be something posted earlier in this thread
about which years the code can be found with the magic number.

Well THAT was interesting. I went to teh dealer after talking to my salesman on the phone and they retrieved the code for free, like they should've anyways. But the code wasn't the one I found on the module. Weird, huh? Well... it works & I'm happy now.

If you have the code from the box and it doesn't work,, try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes to allow the computer to default back to the factory setting. This might work if the number is the correct number.
