Are you sure you found the right module? On my Excursion I found the module directly behind the CD6 player. I could see it by going under the little trash bag hook in the center of the dashboard. The code was facing the firewall, therefore could not read the code. So I took a fingernail and peeled it off very slowly and very carefully. I then stuck it in the back of the Owner's Manual for future reference.

Here's a post I made back in July of 2007.....
This is how I found mine............
1- By sight, I found the module directly behind my AM/FM/CD6 player at the firewall. Mine is black plastic, as opposed to some being light gray or white. The module has a sticker with the door code printed on it.
2- I could not read the code from any imaginable angle because of wires, cables, crossbars, etc...... Even my daughter who is 1/4 my age and half my size couldn't see the code from any angle whatsoever.
3- I went to the passenger's side under the "trash bag hanger?" and stuck my hand up to the module. There was plenty of room to reach up to it, but not enough room to read the code. I felt the sticker on the module from top to bottom, side to side. {It's sometimes on the firewall side of the module.} I prepared my attack.
4- I started on one corner with a fingernail and peeled the sticker off very slowly so as to not damage or destroy it.
5- To save the next owner the same troubles, I stuck the sticker on the inside of the last page in Owner's Manual.
Once I located the exact location of the module, the entire procedure took less than 20 to 30 seconds.
