    Where is the keyless entry module for the door code on a 2007 Explorer?

    On my 2006 EB, the code is on the box behind the passenger side air bag. You can see the box by looking up under the glove box, but you will not be able to see the code as it is blocked by the air bag. I had to remove the air bag to get my code, and what a job, if I it do over again, I would...

    2006 keyless entry

    Thread is old, however I now know where the module for the 2006 EB is loacated. It is located behind the SSR air bag above the glove box. To get to the box, you will have to remove the Air bag to see the module. Can be done, but tricky. If I had to do it again, I would pay the dealer to retreive...

    chalenging question's for a knowalgable ford tech.

    Module is up behind the passenger air bag. You can pull the glove box down and see the edge of it, but to read the code the air bag has to come out. If the dealer has the correct tools, he can just scan the computer the get the code for you, he just took your $50.00 and you got nothing.

    OBD Code reader won't link to vehicle!

    It is more than likely your scanner. I have a 06 EB and my 04 OTC scannter would not link to my 06, I had the OTC scanner updated and now it will read the 06.

    2006 Mercury Mountaineer won't come out of park

    MY 06 EB had the same problem, dealer shifter under warranty and problem fixed. Dealer told me this had been a problem in the 2006 model year. If your car is out of warranty, call Ford and see if they will do anything for you.

    Pricing for 2007 Ironman

    I would try $14,500 as my first offer, and I will explain why. Explorer prices are in the tank right now and I am willing to bet the Toyota dealer bought the Explorer from Ford sponsored auction, and from what I have seen selling at the auctions, the dealer might have 12k in that Explorer if...

    2006 Explorer 6 speed transmission shifting issue - update

    Had my 06 done, made it like a new car and a totally new trans. Bang is all gone and shifts are smooth. The new shift points are closer and mileage on my V-8 has improved. I think the new TSB has done the job.
