computer location and identification

I've just bought a 2004 f150 4x4 4.6L and it has a keyless entry system. I understand that I can get the key code from the computer cover. Is this correct? I've looked on the passenger side under the glove box to the right side and I see fuses and relays and where I think the computer would be, but no cover and no numbers. Can anyone help? Thanks

If it's a Super cab or crew cab it's behind the back seat. If it's a reg cab it's behind the LR trim panel.

I appreciate the info on the computer. I found a box says Motorola pcm on the firewall passenger side in engine compartment. Any chance that is it?

The Motorola box on the firewall is the truck's computer. You can find the keyless entry code where ohboy44 indicated.

I don't mean to be so out of it, but this truck has no back seat, is a 4 door with about 18" behind the seat. On the passenger side rear is a compartment for the jack, nothing on the driver's side but a full panel that goes across the back.
Sounds like I need to pull that entire panel to get into the corner.
Thanks for all your help.

Sounds like your truck is a regular cab, then like ohboy44 stated, its behind the left rear trim panel.

Otherwise on a SuperCrew or SuperCab its located behind the rear seatback.

Check and see if there is a plastic card in the owners manual wallet that has the keyless entry code (for the touch pad on the door ) printed on it. My '04 and '06 Screws both had the card in the manual wallet.
