How do I find out what the keypad code is on my Explorer? When I bought it, it did not have the code or an owner's manual.

The factory usually puts a sticker with the code in a couple of places depending on your vehicle.. sometimes on top of the keyless module, the GEM module, the pcm unit itself, possibly a couple of other places... if all fails, the dealer, for a price, can pull it out of your pcm with their ngs tester.. I've looked all over my manuals for info specific to getting it out of the pcm and I can't find it..

Suggested Repair

Look for a factory sticker with the keypad code on the keyless entry module, GEM module, or PCM. If it cannot be found, a dealer can retrieve the code from the PCM with an NGS tester.
