Keypad Security Code Retrieval

[BroncoBass]

Does anyone know where the wireless keypad code is stored within Forscan? I dug through various modules for the last hour and was unable to find it... Sadly, my Bronco was delivered without the code card (I've hunted thoroughly!), and am trying to avoid a trip to the dealer for them to retrieve the code.
Thanks!!

Did you happen to look under the steering wheel where the fuses are? That is where my code card was located. Pop that panel and there is a spot just above the fuses to the right where the card is held. At least that is where it was in my Bronco....

That code doesnt work, and from what I understand, has to do with another fundtion of the security module -- is this code the one that opens your door?

Ah, thought they were the same thing. Could be wrong though.

Ive tried this on a couple of cars and it works not just on lincolns. you need both keys though.

You can’t get the code from forscan. Only a dealer can retrieve it.

Thanks for the replies!

I tried the two key method of code retrieval, but it doesnt seem to work with the Bronco. Also, the KeyCode that is located behing the lower drivers side dash does not open the doors.

For future reference, I have located a troubleshooting document about how to retrieve the master code here:
https://www.motorcraftservice.com/InstructionSheets/Get

Right at the bottom is the Wireless RF Key Pad Diagnosis Guide which contains instructions on how to get a flash code from the keypad to provide to the dealer in order to look up the master code. I was able to retrieve this code and have sent it off to the dealer - will update this thread if I am successful!

Please post your results. Mine didn't come with a code either and its been a year and I haven't had a chance to get over to the dealer yet to get it taken care of. This would make it fairly simple I can just email my dealer the flash code then.

Yes! This is exactly my situation -- I've had the Bronco for over a year now, but dont want to go to the dealer. I'll keep you posted!

I had the same problem, but I had two code cards in the glove box when I picked it up. Neither one would work, and only one matched the code on the BCM. After much time at the dealer a service writer came out and talked to the tech working on it for me. He said that he had seen this before on the Broncos and that was the wrong key pad. The part numbers are off by one didget. He ordered the correct one and a week later all was good. (The tech had tried to pull codes from computer for both cards and associated serial numbers to no avail. After 1 1/2 hours he had nothing.) The key pad would lock doors while pressing 8 & 9, but nothing else would work. Hope your service department is able to find a quick solution.

Solved! My dealer was able to look up the master code using this information. Obviously, they wanted to see the vehicle in person for security purposes, which makes total sense!

Yah, the dealer I purchased from wants me to bring the vehicle in to verify in person, my dealer is 3 hours away. But at least I could bring this procedure to a local dealer I guess.

Yeah, it's a bummer but makes total sense! I'd be pissed if Ford gave out my code to someone else over the phone .
Hope a nearby dealer can help you out without a full fledged service appointment!

Gah, well I was able to verify my identity and my dealer sent me the code but it doesnt work. Seems likely that my keypad is mis matched and I'll have to take it to the dealer.

Thanks for posting this info! We purchased our Bronco used and the code on the card didn't work. I used the Ford document you posted to get the flash code and showed the service advisor at the dealer how to get the keypad master code. He was amazed and brought the techs out so I could show them how to do it! lol
