Using the Keyless Entry feature for a Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer can be a convenient feature. However, if you forget your personal code it can be a challenge to get into your car without damaging it. There are a few cheap and easy ways to retrieve the 5-digit factory code without any tools or automotive expertise. Whether simply using the owner’s manual or locating the Remote Anti-theft Personality (RAP) Module, you will need the factory code to set a new 5-digit personal code.
Using the Owner’s Manual
1
Look for the factory code. Whether you’re the sole owner or have a pre owned car, the Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer will come with a factory code and owner’s manual. It is recommended that a new owner change the original five-digit factory code. Hopefully, you have kept the factory code in a safe place.[1]
The 5 digit security code is usually in the glove department if you have not moved the owner’s wallet card.
2
Enter the factory code. First, make sure that you have locked all the doors to the car including the trunk. Enter the 5-digit factory code.
3
Press the first two digits. After you have entered the factory code, press 1 - 2 on the keypad. Press these two digits within five seconds to activate the keypad. The doors will lock and unlock to signal that you have entered the correct factory code.[2]
4
Enter your new 5-digit code. Once you’ve received the lock/unlock signal, enter your new 5-digit personal code within within five seconds. You must enter each successive number within five seconds.[3]
If your car is equipped with the memory recall feature, pressing 1 / 2 button stores the settings of Driver 1 while pressing the 3 / 4 button stores the settings of Driver 2.
5
Wait for confirmation. Once your personal entry code has been entered, wait for the doors to lock, then unlock, to confirm that your new personal entry code has been set.[4]
Programming with MyFord Touch
1
Get inside your vehicle. The MyFord Touch system can program your keyless entry code using the screen from within your vehicle. Make sure all the doors are closed before programming.[5]
2
Hit the Menu button. At the top of your vehicle’s Home Screen, hit the menu button to begin programming your new code.
3
Hit the Vehicle button. On the left side of the menu, find Vehicle and press it. A new screen will appear.[6]
4
Select the Door Keypad Code. From the vehicle list menu, select Door Keypad Code. Enter your factory key code that can be found in the owner’s manual.[7]
5
Enter your new personal key code. After you have entered in your factory code, wait for the prompt and enter in a new 5-digit key code of your choosing. Your new code allows you to enter your vehicle without the use of the factory code.[8]
Programming without the Owner’s Manual
1
Know where to find the factory code. Ford Dealers can provide you with the factory code by plugging your vehicle into a computer. Retrieving the code in this manner may be quite costly. If the owner’s manual is lost and you do not have the code for Keyless Entry, know that the Remote Anti-theft Personality (RAP) Module also has the factory code printed on its label. The RAP is behind a removable panel toward the back left of your vehicle.[9]
2
Find and remove the panel covering the RAP. Using a flashlight, locate the removable panel and turn two thumb screws counterclockwise to remove the plastic panel. Shine the flashlight onto the RAP module and look for the label containing the 5 digit factory code.[10]
3
Enter the factory code. Once the first entry is pressed, the keypad will illuminate. Press the middle of the button to ensure proper contact.[11]
4
Press the 1/2 control within five seconds of step 1. In order to program your new personal code, hit the 1 / 2 control before 5 seconds has passed from entering the factory code.
5
Enter your personal 5-digit entry code. Do not take longer than five seconds in between each successive digit. Your new personal code will be used to unlock your vehicle but you can also use the factory code.[12]
Each time a new personal code is set, it replaces the old one and not the factory code. The factory can never be changed. You can erase the code of a previous owner and use the factory-set code without entering a new personal code. Once you’ve entered the factory code, hit the 1/2 button, then the 7/8 and 9/0 controls at the same time. Do not take more than 5 seconds to press each successive button. Once you’ve taken these steps, your system will now only use the factory-set code.
