How to Use the Ford Keypad Entry

A quick 3 minute overview of how to get your keypad code for your Ford vehicle, use the keypad to open your doors and trunk, lock the vehicle, and program or reset your own key code.

[@hillogical]

I wish my salesman would have been able to go over this feature. I love my Escape more now, thanks to this video!

[@demetresblakley1352]

Exactly my salesman didn't explain nothing bout my car smh!!

[@TopSpeedff]

Same

[@ScottALanter]

I've had a 2006 Ford Five Hundred for years. Still looks brand new, runs like a top. But, until today I never knew how to use this feature. Talk about a life changer! WOW! Thank you for this video.

[@anotheruser8457]

THIS video explains how the keypad is associated to seat memory positions, finally. I searched a LOOONG time to find that info. So easy. The personal keypad code you enter in position 1-2 uses seat memory 1, the code in keypad position 3-4 grabs seat memory 2, etc. Thank you random Ford sales guy in the video!!!

[@audioplugg5310]

Worked like a charm. I bought my 2016 Turbocharged Ford Fusion used 2yrs ago and couldn't find the original key code. I knew how to lock the doors on the key pad, but didn't have the code to unlock. Now I have it and created my own key pad code. Appreciate you for making this video!

[@SeattleRingHunter]

Keyless entry like this is very handy when you hit the beach or lake for water sports!

[@Buehmaer88]

Dude... you just saved me such a headache trying to get that code. Thank you.

[@finley614]

Under drivers side dash you will see a little box white a white sticker on it. There is a 5 digit number on that sticker and for those trying to figure out code well that 5 digits is your keyless entry code 👍🏻

[@SebastianWoodard]

Depends on the year, make, and model. For instance, I have a 2007 Mercury Mariner. For me, it's under the center console, and if you look under the dash back towards the center console, it's on the little module, but it's not a sticker. It's actually printed on the module itself

[@pauloferrer5000]

This was easy than freaking reading the manual book. Here's your like 👍

[@thomaswoody468]

Lost the driver door handle and lock so being able to use the key code is a lifesaver 😅

[@kevinm6808]

Great tip on using your thumb to lock! Very informative video!

[@rickja1]

Just want to say thanks for your video. After locating my factory code for my 2007 sports Trac (above fuse box) I was able to reset using your video. Thanks again!

[@love2fish78]

Thanks from Florida! We just bought one and this was the first thing we did and changed. Easy and simple!

[@solo8backup232]

I locked my keys in the car, & my back up Fab is broken I had an appointment @ Ford in the a.m…I wish I knew this information before so badly but better late than never, great video. Thanks

[@Beth9228]

I did this to my 2015 Ford Escape when I got it. I did changed the code to something easy to know by heart.

[@bballnono]

The double key thing works! Thank you so much!

[@isaacm3054]

Do you need 2 different keys or can you use the same one?

[@Itsfiftyshadesofray]

The factory code is on the back of the fuse box under the steering off to the left

[@psymi-hk1fp]

my parents 1990 Lincoln had this fantastic feature

[@tomn5880]

This is the best tutorial as of Aug. 15 2019

[@SupermotoZach]

I didn't know this was a thing until watching a us tv show, the UK has never had this 😅

[@zerkfiter]

only took me 10 years to realize hitting that final digit unlocked the other 3 doors now I use it all the time.never read directions.

[@mikesteve6554]

Another good reason to add a personal code: If you have to give the code to a mechanic, parking attendant, daughter's boyfriend, whoever - you can set a new code for them, they use the vehicle, then you set a different code for the 1/2 or 3/4. The code you gave to the mechanic, etc. will no longer work.

[@lion_in_grass8122]

But the factory code is under the steering wheel?

[@joesnuffy1015]

What if you bought the car used, there is no card, and you only have one fob key?

[@bobziho]

This should be standard on every vehicles ! I would LOVE to be able to go to the beach with absolutely no worries about my car or keys getting stolen.

[@hombreyescalante]

but then you would worry about your code getting stolen by someone.

[@bobziho]

There are 5^5 = 3125 different codes. And the thing locks for 1 minutes if you enter 7 wrong codes. Assuming you type a code in 5 seconds, you need about 100 seconds to test 7 codes. With an average luck, you would have to test 3125/2 = 1562 codes to find the good one. It will need 22314 seconds to do that, that's more than 6 hours.

Try entering the code in reverse if you got it off the dash with the 2 keys. That's what worked on my 2013 Fusion Energi

[@joelanejo]

Thank you for the great info and it worked! I ask the dealer if they can help me with the code they say YES!! it will cost me $100 hahaha no Bueno,. Anyways thanks for the great video salud. Joel from Oakland California.

[@LorenDavis]

Thanks so much, just got a used F150 and was able to learn the master key code.

[@Trades46]

Back then when Ford had physical rubber buttons on its cars I used to laugh at it. However now owning a Fusion with this feature, it is such a handy tool to use. Don't knock it till you try it.

[@virginiaresident1962]

As suggested, I tried with my two keys from Ford, and 'keypad code' did not appear after I put in 2nd key and turned on, just trip meter information as usual. Also, I do not have a 'e-brake pedal' I have a e-handbrake in the middle console, it is a 2014 Ford Escape. Thank you again for any assistance!

[@Patrick76496]

On all of these keypads every button has 2 numbers. How can you tell on for example 1|2 that you are pressing 1 or 2? Or are these only 5 numbers effectively?

[@funnybunny00321]

I can’t find how this works! I wish someone would answer this question!

[@bluebelt224]

Only 5 numbers effectively I believe, almost like when dialing a word on your phone. Just press the button that has the number and it should register

[@Patrick76496]

@@bluebelt224 Thank you, you've uncovered a years long mistery for me. I wouldn't have thought that it is this simple. :)

[@vernonpaigejr.1517]

Ever since 2015 of driving Lincolns, I will never get another car except from them. I don't know how many times I left my keys in by accident, or need to leave my stuff in there because I'm about to go in the water. Even works when the battery is damn there dead.

[@SMX815]

Very cool feature to have in your car 👍

[@jamesgoodman8868]

Thank You. Now I have the code for the next time I lock myself out. LOL

[@robertcosby5763]

What if you only have one key?

[@ladygemini4121]

Good question

[@MotionableMan]

Then you gotta go to a ford dealer that does service on vehicles, they can pull the code, some do it for free, some charge $. If they try to charge go to a different dealer lol

[@raquibcherry1899]

It’s behind the glove box, to the right of the fuse box. -So, slide the passenger front seat all the way back. (For space) -look under glove box, and remove cloth panel, by pinching both plastic tabs. -then look up and there will be a sticker/label with 5 numbers and a letter (e.g. 51737L), right beside fuse box. That’s your door key number.

[@elizabethpeterson1644]

I only used my own code on my 2020 Ford Escape SE. To me it is easy to remembered for me. I even told my sister the code towards my vehicle. I can trust her. In her 2013 Ford Edge was my mother’s vehicle. It has a code that we both remembered. It was the same code what was my father’s Ford Expedition had. I’m not to type the codes on by memory. My sister might change the code on her Ford Edge.

[@Nakitalynn01]

I only have one key sadly!

[@javtimestwo]

outstanding video. maybe time for an updated video? keep up the great work

[@nosiidda501]

Thank you very much! This actually helped me very much!

[@jameswalsh5043]

What if I don't have the code and my car is push to start only, how would I retrieve the factory code?

[@tebiathajordan5172]

If you look under your steering wheel area, there is a 5 digit code.

[@apall2764]

How the heck you type distinguish 1 from 2 3 from 4 ect..

[@beebee7538]

It’s the same button. So if you use 1 or 2 it’s the same button.

[@JuanSanchez-sc6qk]

So mine key code is “33031” what do I do about the “33” situation? Thank you

[@beebee7538]

I would think you would just press the 3/4 button twice since you have two 3’s at the beginning. I just noticed like the buttons are for either number. Like if you had either a 5 or a 6 as part of the code you would just press the 5/6 # if that makes sense. Like there is no distinction of the number...

[@kaygraham6016]

😢😅😅😊

[@camillacombs8590]

I found my factory code , but it will not work to unlock door ( 2013 Ford Fusion) The panel is working because I can lock the doors with the buttons , just can't unlock

[@vanstry]

I've never been able to get it to work twice in the same day. I can enter it once, but then I can't get it to work for the rest of the day a second time. You'll get three buttons into the code and then the buttons stop working. Personally I'd love to disconnect it, the idea of a five button keypad allowing access to my car? Not a lot of combinations there.

[@MrsFrick-oi1ow]

There are 120 possible combinations. It shuts down after 4 or 5 wrong combos and does nothing but flash. My alarm goes off too (i found out....). Its pretty safe.

[@popeye5808]

This does work for my 2012 tarus

[@redihoxha2940]

How can i find factory code in my focus when I don't know it and I have only one secondary key?

[@LS-mh2qr]

Mine was also on a card in the car manual book...or you could probably take it to a Ford dealer and they could help

[@WhittyPics]

I have hardly used this. It is easier just to push the button on the remote. It could be handy if you lock your keys in

[@ruk2023--]

It's designed to let you deliberately lock your keys in, not to let you recover them if you accidentally lock them in. Let's say you go the beach, the theme park, on holiday or a dozen other places where you don't want to carry your keys around in case you lose them. You lock them in the car along with all the other stuff you wouldn't take with you.

I'm having a duh moment here and missing something. Since there are two numbers on each key, how do you differentiate between them? Press once for 1 and twice for 2?

Use it once for either digit

[@rbtrjames362]

The hidden one on my 2009 flex is ridiculously hard to use. I have to input the digits numerous times before it unlocks. It has to do with the sensitivity of the buttons. Even though you may press the digit it may not register.POS as far as I am concerned. My 2004 Expedition is great as the buttons are not hidden and simple to use as well as my out-laws 2005 Town Car.
