It's in its slot on the fuse panel behind the dash. The panel below the steering wheel is clipped on around the edges on the top, left, and right sides and is hinged on the bottom. You have to pull pretty strongly the first time you go to pry it off but it does release and reveal the fuse panel and your SecuriCode card.
I will try this when I get home later. I couldn’t find the card for my keyless entry pad either.

D2dhanover is spot on, my Securicard was where D2d said it would be.

Either way it's probably just a stick on keypad that acts like a key fob. In fact it uses one of the fob "spaces" in the relevant module.
Can I ask what you mean here?
He means open the computer software and add the keypad as a new additional keyfob, if in fact the number of keyfobs is controlled by the vehicle. As long as a fob learns the key code I don't see why there would be any difference. Its not like the keypad stores your mileage and driving habits or driver specific seat and heat defaults - or maybe it does. Never had one, attempt never plan to so I do not know if a single keypad can be programmed for multiple users and personal codes.

JohnnyBronco is essentially correct. If I remember correctly Ford allows around 8 different keys/fobs to be programmed. I haven't been a Ford tech for several years and I'm remembering back to the integrated key/fob design. It may be different for push button start.

But effectively the stick on keypad is programed and acts like an additional fob vs the hardwired keypad design.

At the dealership getting a new keypad right now. My factory installed one did not come with the key card. The service gal said this is the 3rd one they’ve replaced because the factory didn’t include the key card.

See D2d’s post. It’s in there.

Mine was installed. Came off with little effort. Was outdoor double sided tape.

I installed mine on this metal thingy I found under the back. It’s hidden but easy to get to.

Unfortunately, that's likely to kill the batteries in it (and yes, I realize you are joking).

I was thinking one of those spring loaded license plate mounts and putting it behind the license plate.
