Guide to Find the 5 Digit Default Keyless Code on Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer

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.

guide to Power a Car Amplifier Using a Computer Power Supply

If you recently switched vehicles and have no room for that big subwoofer in your new car, don't give it or throw it away. Keep it. Use it inside or outside your house by having it powered by a computer power supply.     1     Find the power pin. In the power supply packaging (if bought new) there should be a pinout diagram. Look for the pin that says something along the lines of “Power on”, "PS OK" or other key words that indicates a on signal. It will be on the biggest pigtail.         99% of the time it will be a green wire on new power supplies, but for older power supply “10+ years” the wire could be yellow or purple. If your power supply did not come with a pinout diagram, check the manufacturer website for a pinout diagram.     2     Cut the power wire from the pin and strip the end.     3     Cut the ground wire from the pin and str...

Guide to Install a Tachometer

A tachometer is used to indicate the revolutions per minute (RPM) being performed by a car engine. Most cars with automatic transmissions are not equipped with a tachometer, since a tachometer is mostly used to indicate visually when it's time to shift gears. If your car doesn't have one, it's a good way to keep an eye on your engine speed. See Step 1 for more information. Getting Started     1     Get a tachometer and splicing connectors. You can either buy a tachometer new, which usually run somewhere between $30 and $50, or salvage on old one for relatively cheap and install it into your car.         The only other specialty item you'll need to complete the job is a package of quick-splice connectors, which are usually only a few dollars at the auto part store. The wires are about 16-18 gauge usually, so get connectors of the appropriate size.     2     Adjust the tachometer for the num...

Guide to Install a CB Radio in a Jeep Liberty

CB radios are recommended for a lot of off-road groups, as well as traditional uses. There are many ways to install this; the way presented here offers a cheap and effective way to do this if you are pressed for time and money, and use your CB radio infrequently.     1     Select a CB radio. For this exercise, the smallest Cobra was selected. It sells for about USD$35 at Walmart Online. You will also probably find it in local shops from $50-$60. There are other radios from Midland, Radioshack with similar dimensions. (Prices as at Sept 2007, feel free to update.)     2     Select a suitable location. A good location would be under the AC controls alongside of the cigarette lighter. When taking the plastic off you’ll see that you’d have to cut into the wall behind the plastic, it’s not deep enough to fit the radio. It’s possible but not quick, and the mic cord would be in the way of the transfer case shifter. Other ideas: ...
