I sold a 2010 Ford Escape that didn't come with the Key Code. The local Ford Dealer wanted $60 to get the code. We did exactly what this video showed and sure enough, it was there! It works...
You are a life saver. Thank You So Much. Just went to car dealership and said it would be over a month before they could help and that took less than 5 minutes. Your Awesome!!!! Thank You again. It was so easy ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, thank you for this! I thought it was going to break getting the larger piece off. But when you said it wouldn't I used my butter knife to get it started because I couldn't pull it up and it worked. Thanks again!
OMG! THIS video is SO timely! YOU rock, seriously! And you're not kiddin' about the $50 charge for the code and a supposed $150 reprogramming fee. Ridiculous! TY TY TY
Thanks for the helpful video! My console was difficult to get out as it was covered in years of spilled but "cleaned up" soft drinks and coffee. Found it and worked perfectly. No tools needed except elbow grease and a plastic pry bar I use for laptops but a butter knife or multi tool will work
Thank you so much. I was not looking forward to paying a dealership for the info. Was a bit more difficult to get it loose but finally did. Great opportunity to clean too!
Thanks man saved me $60 plus tax... I just removed the trim from the shifter and slide my phone in and took pictures of the stickers took all of 5 min. You are the man. Thanks :-)
Thanks man!! Got it! Had to use the butterknife at the corners of where the tray meets the center console drawer to get it free but it came out easy after that! Thank you so much!! I'll never be locked out again!
I did this and it was so easy this info was great saved me $50.00 plus tax.. It only took about 5 Minutes. That was because I was cleaning it also. Now to find out where to get a extra key made.
Dude! You are a life saver! I just bought a 2008 Mercury Mariner and I decided today that i was going to start hunting down the keypad code. It had been driving me crazy all day. I had tried everything! I googled it. I called Ford. I called my dealership. RU-vid was my last resort! Thank you so much! You helped me keep me sanity! Haha! Go Cowboys!
Thank you so much !!!! if I would of took it to the dealership, I know they would of made a big deal out of it , the charged me big time, thanks agen !!!!
thanks man .. When I read a block they saud A fuse box under the cwnter console .. I was like wTF fuse box ???! thanks man .. Tou saved me some time for sure
Hi All, We have 2012 Ford Escape Limited with NO code for the factory set keyless entry. After watching this informative video we followed the instructions, and we were able to get the code for the keyless entry! YEAH!!! Hints: 1. Follow his instructions. 2. Use a putty knife to remove the chrome trim piece (thinner than a butter knife). 3. Wear kitchen rubber gloves when pulling cup holder up & pull hard to remove the cup holder piece. It takes quite a lot of pulls! 4. Take a picture of the factory set code or have someone write it down. 5. Make sure the code works before you put all the pieces back together. 6. You can program your own code AFTER you have the factory set code, look in the owners manual to program your own code which hopefully you will remember. GET VIDEO, VERY INFORMATIVE! THANK YOU!!! P.S. My "hints" were a combination of the others comments below. Good Luck!
Perfect informational video. I recently bought a used Escape and your video allowed me to easily get the code and program my keyless entry system using only a table knife! Thanks!
Worked on my 2010 standard edition. Had to pull HARD on center console, needed rubberized gloves to get enough grip. But, it was there just like ya show. Thanks!
Great video! I followed your steps exactly for my 2012 Escape that I just purchased used. It didn't come with an owners manual or the keypad code. You saved me $100 for sure!! Keep up the good work bro!
After searching The web for 20 minutes I came upon this video and this technique worked for my 2012 Ford limited. Thank you very much for posting this.
Ok this was doable for a girl. So key thing to add is Chrome plate doesn't have claw like snaps. It is more textured like zip tie and just lifts up and out..And right off. The black console did not lift up easily tried a gentle pry. Key lift spot is where console lifts up gentaly pop those two tabs on top up and the console lifts easily. Did not need to completely lift off because of electrical. Phone with camera flash got code. Bottom sticker. Upside down :D Went back together easily
This worked like a charm!!! I gave a little tug on my console and it popped right out. The numbers were exactly where you showed, and now I have my own code!!! Thank you so much for posting this......you saved me a lot of money!!!
Worked great , but instead of yanking on cupholder, the 2 points that hold the center console are at the highest points on each side of the storage console. Pry each side with a flathead screwdriver slow and even on each side. Comes up real easy
Glad I looked this up before calling the dealer. It was as easy as you said. Thanks for sharing this and saving us all $$ that can be much better spent than at the dealer.
Thanks much. found your video after being told $52 at the dealer. five minutes in their parking lot later I was gtg. your video and my leatherman. the look on dudes face was priceless.
good video. You have a nice voice for videos. Instructions clear and easily understood with no extraneous BS. This is what I need for my 2012. Thank you for thinking of me.
Perfect!! This video worked perfect for my 2011 Ford Escape. THANK YOU. I had the code within minutes and was able to enter it into my car and it worked.
My friend you saved me a pile of cash as no one in Central America would know how to do this! One thing I can add for those whose eyes are getting old like mine...take a picture of the module with the camera on your phone then zoom in to read the numbers (the sticker is upside down). Thank you so much!!
THANK YOU!!! We bought a used 2012 escape limited and it was missing the keypad code card. Saved me $60! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very much appreciated.
This is one of the best videos every recorded!!! I just purchased a used 2009 Ford Escape and the dealer didn't have the keyless code. I followed your instructions and BINGO!!! There it was and it worked perfectly! I used my phone to take a pic of the code and then zoomed in on it because it was too hard to see. Also, it took me awhile to pry the console off. It was in there TIGHT! I thought I broke it when it first popped out, but nope. Everything was fine! THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Well done! I was in the same boat as you, pre-owned and no code. Ford said no can do (bizarre) and dealership wanted $150! Figured that this feature could be extremely handy and like you I don't like to be restricted on my features. Once you demo'd how easy it is I'll definitely go ahead and do it today! Good job bro!
Just brought home my new/used 2010 Ford Escape and didn't know the numbers, ran out and did what you should right away, and bingo!! Thank you so much :) Now if you can tell me how to replace my radio to a GPS radio, and the proper bezel, I'd be thrilled even more.
