Driver Door Numeric Keypad Code

[gijoecam]

Nope. As with all the PATS-equipped Fords, if you want to program additional keys yourself, you MUST have two working keys. If you only have one you must make a trip to the local dealership or visit a good local locksmith. Many locksmiths now have the appropriate programming hardware to add additional keys. Again, you must have two working keys to program additional keys. If you do not have two working keys, additional keys cannot be programmed by the owner.

Okay, so i know this thread is pretty old, but i have a question. You all keep saying the code is in the jack compartment on the drivers side in the back. Well, i just bought a 2002 XLT (it says it was made 04/01, so i dont know if its a '01 or '02. it was advertised as 2002 though) and the jack compartment isnt in the side in the back, its on the floor in a little compartment in the back. So where would the security box be in my explorer? I really dont want to go pay 50 bucks to have them tell me something that I can (hopefully) find on my own. Thanks! ~Monica

Hey Monica!

I have a 2000 model so I can't confirm the below info, but it is supposed to be for 2002 Explorers and Mountaineers...GOOD LUCK!!!



It is located on the Passenger side on the post behind the rear door and underneath all the plastic trim. It is bolted to the side and is under the lower trim cover.


Step 1 - Pull the rubber door gasket loose from the bottom all around the rear of the door opening and about halfway across the top.


Step 2 - Rotate the two metal clips that are attached to the upper trim piece on the rear of the door opening.


Step 3 - Unsnap the rear clips of the upper trim piece (the one where the seat belt comes out of) by tugging on the rear edge. There are 3 clips in there in the rear.


Step 4 - Unsnap the last clip in the center up high.


Step 5 - Remove the trim piece by pulling the bottom of the piece outward and pulling downward. There is a metal "guide" in the top-front area just above the seat belt opening that you will need to watch.


Step 6 - Now remove the small metal clip that holds the bottom plastic trim piece to the edge of the door opening. It will be down by the bottom of the door opening.


Step 7 - Pull the top of the bottom plastic trim piece out as much as you can to see the CSM bolted to the wall behind it. The CSM will be the black box about 5" wide by 4" tall by 1" deep. You should wedge something in between the trim piece and the metal of the door edge to give you both hands free.


Step 8 - Now that you have both hands free, reach into the CSM and pull up on the bottom of the module to rotate the front up toward you a bit so you can see the label on the front. The 5 digit code will be the last 5 of the numbers underneath a bar code. The 5 digits are grouped out by themselves so you will recognize it.


Step 9 - Now before you put all this trim back, walk around to the driver's side door and try out the code to make sure it works.


Step 10 - Put it all back in reverse order. DONE!

Thanks!! I did get to the code the other day, but it was much much harder than what your directions say. But i wonder if they would have worked.

oh, and i love the search feature in forums. I actually used it to find the answer to my question after i posted here.
