MyVans Your Vehicle Solution If you own a Ford Explorer, you may have noticed that there is a keypad on the driver’s side door that allows you to enter a code to unlock the door. This is a convenient feature that can be very helpful if you accidentally lock your keys in the car or if you need to give someone access to your car without giving them a key. However, if you forget your factory code, you may think that you are out of luck. Fortunately, there is a way to reset your Ford Explorer door code without the factory code.
Step One: Locate the Keyless Entry Module
The first step in resetting your Ford Explorer door code is to locate the keyless entry module. This module is typically located under the dash, near the steering column. You may need to remove some panels to access it. Once you have located the module, you should see a sticker on it that has a five-digit code. This is your factory code. You will need to know this code in order to reset your door code.
Step Two: Enter the Factory Code
Once you have located the keyless entry module and have found your factory code, you can begin the process of resetting your door code. To do this, you will need to enter your factory code using the keypad on the door. Make sure that you enter the code correctly, as you will only have one chance to do so.
Step Three: Press the 1/2 Button
After you have entered your factory code, you will need to press the 1/2 button on the keypad within five seconds. This button is located on the keypad and is used to indicate which user you are programming. If you are the only user, you should press the 1 button. If there are two users, you should press the 2 button.
Step Four: Enter Your New Code
Once you have pressed the 1/2 button, you will need to enter your new code. Your new code must be five digits long and cannot be a sequence that is easy to guess, such as 12345 or 54321. Make sure that you remember your new code, as you will need it to unlock your door in the future.
Step Five: Test Your New Code
After you have entered your new code, you should test it to make sure that it works. Lock your car and wait for a few minutes, then try to unlock it using your new code. If the code works, you have successfully reset your Ford Explorer door code without the factory code.
