I been looking everywhere and this is one place it might be, about to give up and let the dealer pull it from the computer. I cant see any pictures can someone upload them.
This is for the 2 door model?
THANK YOU!!! As pointed out by others I tried every wrong suggestion found everywhere online and about tore my explorer to shreds in the process before I found this. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this with all the pictures and steps. You're brilliant.Security Keyless Keypad Code Location 2003 Explorer Sport XLT
*** NOTICE: This is ONLY for the Explorer Sport and is NOT for the Sport TRAC ***
Location: In dash behind passenger air bag!
Tools Needed: 7mm and 8mm sockets, a ratchet and an extension.
A few things to get straight right up front...
- First: It is NOT located in the rear drivers side Jack compartment!
- Second: It is NOT located in the passengers side C-Pillar by the 2nd row seats!
- Third: It is NOT found on a sticker by itself!
I spent a week searching through forums here and elsewhere online and the above 2 locations is where everyone says it was located. I know this because I have completely removed the rear panels and pillar trim on both sides of my 2003 Explorer Sport XLT and it was NOT located in either of these places.
I then found a thread here by 'n3elz' saying it may be found by going up through the glove box, behind the passengers air-bag in the dash. Figured I'd give it a look and W00t! there it was.
The process in finding it is quite easy and only requires removing 4 screws above and behind the glove box.
1. To start simply open and empty out the glove box. Once empty push in on the sides of the glove box, as shown in the photo, and drop it down.
2. This image shows up into the dash from the floor and displays the 2 screws holding in the passengers air-bag. Removing these 2 screws allows you to remove the air-bag.
3. I found that the airbag wanted to pull out from the right side first as shown in the image with the red line. Once this side pulled free the whole unit pulled straight out.
4. Here are the 2 screws securing the RAP (Remote Anti-theft Personality module)! This is of course what we are looking for. The 5-digit code is located on the top. Remove the 2 screws and pull the module out.
5. The module will pull out and swing towards the passenger door due to the wires.
6. Finally you'll notice the 5-digit code! Write it down, take a picture, tell your wife/husband and then help everyone else out by telling them where you found it!
Note: For security reasons I've hidden my code however it was located in Thick Black Bold Text where you see the blue block in this image.
Hope this helps all you 2003 Sport owners out there!
