Keyless entry keypad OEM

[Faust]

Hoping to get a little assistance from the gang here!

Purchased a raptor that came with keyless entry. However, I realized I was not provided the code at the time from the Non-Ford dealership. I contacted Ford directly and they could not provide me a code to match my VIN. I understood as there is no proof to them that I own the vehicle. I then called dealerships in my area. Dealership 1 said they are not able to scan the vehicle for a code and that I need to contact the original seller. Dealership 2 said they might be able to do it but it would cost me $185 of labor/not warranty issue. The selling non Ford dealership does not have the code.

Might anyone know how to reset the code or how to acquire a code lol? Figured I would ask before spending $200 in labor. Thanks in advance.

I'm just mentioning this in case you haven't already looked (I'm sure you have), but If there's still the "Ford Performance" case with your owner's manual and etc. in your glovebox (assuming the previous owner didn't list it up on eBay or something), I would pull everything out and double check as that's where I found my card for the pad for my Raptor.

Yes unfortunately I did not receive anything.

Open the panel below the steering wheel and look at the fuse panel. I found the master code card in front of the fuses.

That card is not for the keypad

You used to be able to find the code on a sticker or something by the fuse box up under the dash on the passenger side. From the replies here I'm thinking they don't do that anymore.

I'm just super irritated they don't come standard on a Raptor. For $90k that should be a standad feature! Then when you add Ford's aftermarket keypad you have to stick with the original code, and can't reprogram. My husband and I have always owned Fords, and always use the same codes on all vehicles, so now to have to remember this ONE different code is just straight up irritating.

Cool! I wondered if they still included it there!

@CodeOrange213 - If you're willing to just hang out next to your Bronco punching in numbers, you could also just brute-force hack the code yourself. I was in a similar situation when I bought my Bronco used. No code for the keypad, and none of the suggestions mentioned about finding a card w/ the code on it worked either. None of the codes I found in my Bronco worked.

I found this post online: https://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1520430

After reformatting the list of codes into something slightly more readable, I just got a barstool, sat next to the Bronco, and began typing the numbers in the order described. After about 20 minutes, I found the master code that unlocked the truck, and it also allowed me to program in a second code to one that is easier to remember.

So, not the most exciting way to spend your time, but it saved me a lot of time driving around to dealers and the only cost was my time.

If you'd like the reformatted version of the numbers I used, it's right here:

You should be able to reprogram, provided that you have the factory-set code. I used the "Programming a Personal Keyless Entry Code With the Keypad" part of the instructions here: https://www.ford.com/support/how-to...w-do-i-program-a-personal-keyless-entry-code/ and was able to add the same code I've used on my other Fords.

The only card on or with the BCM is the SecuriCode, which is something completely different then the stick on accessory key pad code.

REALLY?! The dealership told me that I couldn't reprogram it! (but we all have heard of dealerships straight up lying about things) I'll definitely try that! Thank you!

Check the 4-minute mark.

EDIT: Op--never mind, just realized @JBKO linked the instructions so you don't need the video.

So I can buy a keypad, and use this method to config for my Bronco? Without having to mess with a dealer or proprietary software, just my time?

No. That is just for finding the code. If you don’t already have a keypad installed or just bought one, this isn’t going to help at all.

Correct - this is only for finding the code on a keypad that is already installed.

I thought there was a way to poke around under the dash in the driver's footwell area and there is a module that has the code on the backside of it (side towards the inner wall) - I know for sure I got this for my brother's Explorer but it is a bitch to get to.
