Keyless entry

I have an 02 F-250 Super Duty 4X4 crew cab. Stupid me, I locked myself out of my truck while at work. I called AAA and the guy tried everything to open my doors but no luck. Anyway, after that, now my key chain keyless remote will not open the door locks. I replaced the battery, checked the fuses but everything seems fine. Is there a chance he might have knocked a wire loose in the door? any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Jerry

I wonder if your keyless entry module took a dump on you

I would check it if I knew where it was located.

I believe it's located behind the center stack. If you look with a flash you might see the original code for your keyless. It should be on that module.

Center stack

Thanks for responding and helping me out. What is a Center Stack? is it under the dash area near the keyless entry transmitter bulb up on the dash?

On my 05 you can just look with a flashlight behind the ash tray. There was a black box with a white sticker with the 5 digit code in large numbers on it. It was also upside down, but that had the original code if that helps.

You also might have to just push some wires out of the way to read it - I had to.

You might just need to reprogram the truck for the fob's. The procedure should be in your owners manual. You'll have to do ALL the fob's at the same time.

I tried reprogaming the system once but it didn't work unless I did it wrong.
