If you don’t have two keys, the door code can be found in one of three places: - A small sticker on the inside of the trunk lid, or on trunk lid arm, or the lip around the trunk, or the lip around the hatchback, or the hatchback arm.. the point is that it may be in a location that’s not easily visible from normal view - Glove Box. Sometimes there’s a little cars with the passcode numbers. Flip through the owners manual if it’s still in the car. - Inside the drivers door panel. This requires removing the inner skin and accessing the ‘guts’ inside the door. Typically there is a small black box near the lower front of the door, and in bold printed writing, on the keypad ‘solenoid’, will be the five digit code.
Dude, I’m so impressed that there are still people like you working for dealers that understand the importance of putting the customer first. Sure, if someone doesn’t want to mess with learning these steps or would rather have it done for them, then your service department is there and should charge a fair price to do the work, but for the rest of us- knowledge is power and should be shared! Thanks for doing that! Service departments around the country should be grateful, since this keeps basic issues out of their service bays so they can focus on doing real repairs and getting customers in and out faster! 5 stars in my book! Inn in Dallas, but it might be worth a trip to see you when I need my next car. Can’t put enough value on dealing with honest, reputable people!!
@@Askjorgelopez I found your video and tried this truck several times on a 2018 F150 XLT. I have both original keys. They are the switch blade keys. It’s not working. I called the local Ford Dealer and they did this has never worked and would cost me $65 to hook up to the PCM and retrieve the code. Any ideas?
You're golden. I went by a dealership earlier today and they told me it would take an hour and cost $75.00. I didn't have time to spare so I decided to go back later. However, it occurred to me to check RU-vid and I found your instructions. My vehicle is a 2017 Ford Fusion and your second half of the video worked perfectly. If you take the bottom liner out of the cup holders in the middle console, there is a slight indentation for the key fob. Your instructions worked perfectly. If I lived in Texas and needed a car, I would definitely give you a try.
I just watch this video and my truck is a 2014 King Ranch. It worked perfectly. I also went to the dealer today and they wanted $53.00 to get my code. Thanks for doing this. You the man 1/8/2019
Thanks a bunch!! Called ford dealership before this and they instantly recommended I bring it in for service, “needs to be hooked up to a computer etc”… saved me a bill. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much Jorge! The slot for the key was in the console vertically near the coffee holders in my 2017 limited explorer. I almost gave up but watched ur video again and took keys off of ring so it would fit in the slot. Wahla! The leasing company could not figure it out and said the dealer would charge 100.00! You are a good man for helping others by posting this video!
Some additional hints: 1) It's 4 seconds on the first key. That's four ringtones from the vehicle after starting. Not 5 seconds. Not 3 seconds. After exactly 4 seconds, you turn off the car and switch keys quickly. 2) On the 2013 Ford Fusion, it displays the code backwards. If it displays 12345, the actual code is 54321.
If I lived near this dealership and I was looking to buy a new vehicle? I would ask for this guy. This is an honest salesperson. I had this problem and found the solution on another video, but before that, I called my local Ford dealership and they wanted $100.00 or so. Crooks, but not this guy. My truck is a '14
I just bought a used 2013 F150 (one owner). Car dealer didn't have the code numbers. This video showed me what to do. The local Ford dealership said bring it over with the 2 keys, it will cost you $30!
Worked like a charm Jorge on my 2017 Ford Fusion. I had pulled out the liner to the cup holder 6 weeks ago and said, "Now what?" because I failed to notice the indentation for the keyless fob because it was so shallow. Once I recognized the shape and followed your instructions, there was my Factory Code. You were very forthright Jorge. Why could the dealer not tell me this instead of trying to CHARGE ME $162.OO for an hour's labor to look it up in the computer? IN THE COMPUTER. LABOR? What LABOR? They didn't even have to get dirty or go to the car.
I just bought a 2017 F150 Lariat and was not having any luck with this and other instructions (including from Ford online chat) on how to accomplish the keypad code recovery. Two items were necessary for success - one was a comment added to another similar video and one throw-away comment from this one. In addition to the instructions above, following both of these did the trick: 1. Jorge mentioned that you have to do Key 1 then Key 2, so the order matters (or at least it did for me). I didn't know which was which, so tried it once one way, then switched the order; 2. Even following #1 didn't work. A user posted a comment from another video saying it only worked for him when the door was open during the process. So I opened my door, tried both combinations of key order and it worked as advertised (finally). Hope this helps.
I just got into the Explorer life and my friend, you are a light sabre! Wait... I mean a LIFE SAVER! After two months of "I gotta' figure out how to do that, soon", my girlfriend locked the key/fob in the car and I had to rescue her and my truck. I will be taking care of this problem, today, thanks to you!
Just bought a 2018 F250 and didn't realize it was missing the key code card (the owners manual was missing but insisted on one before I left the dealership that was a couple hours away from home), so in my search for a DIY method, found this video. It worked, finally. Had to try it numerous times to get the timing right. What worked: got in the truck, shut the door. Before placing the fob in the slot, remove any other keys and rings. Place the key in the holder, push the button. As soon as the "accessory power is active" message pops up, push the button, immediately swap fobs and push the button. The code was displayed right after the accessory power is active message. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much, Jorge! I kept my dealer card inside my wallet for three years, and when I changed wallets, I discovered that three of the five numbers had worn off. I anticipated a pricey visit to the dealership, but your video helped me (easily) retrieve my code!
Jorge - You just saved me $130! I'm selling my 2014 Fusion and can't find my keyless entry card. The local dealership where I purchased the car told me that the only way to do that is to "Have a Technician go into the computer and read the security information." He was happy to get me in today if I wanted, though. I'm glad that I took a few minutes to search RU-vid and that I found you!
Thank you so much for putting this out! I just bought a used '14 Fusion SE two days ago and was told I would most likely have to take it to the local Ford dealer to get the code. You saved me $$ and hassle!
currently locked myself out of my truck and had a moment to research this since im waiting for a ride to go pick up my spare. ill put this knowledge to quick use on my preowned ‘13 f-150 fx2 - thanks for putting this up jorge, your honesty is appreciated.
Worked like a charm. Just saved me money because i was never given the code from the dealership. Also saved me from having to unsrew any panels. Thank you
You're the greatest brother. Thank you soooo much. My hats off to you. Stay safe and enjoy your videos. I've got a 2000 Ford Excursion Limited 4x4. This doesn't work. LoL😥😥😥😥😁😁😁
Thank you so much. Just bought a used F150 and figured I'd have to go to the dealer. I have the keyed FOBs (not push button) and the owners manual only tells you how to get the code with the electronic FOBs. Your tip worked like a charm.
Thanks Jorge! Much appreciated. I just inherited my Dad's MKX and didn't have the keypad code. Your video helped me to retrieve the code. Super helpful, and saved me some money!!
@@gretchen4677 hi! I found it under my steering column. Its right there on a white sticker just above the brake pedal slightly to the left side as you’re facing the brake pedal. Thanks.
2005 Ford Five Hundred Limited - No Joy!! I tried it Twice to make sure that it Wasn't Me trying to follow your instructions. Thank you Very Much for Trying to Help Everyone Out.
THANKS A LOT !! I just went to the Ford dealer last week and explain to them that I just purchased a used Ford Flex and wanted to know the door access code and of course I was told that they would have to hook up their computer to my car to find out and then asked when would I like to make an appointment so the work could be done!!! luckily I came across your video by accident looking to activate a key fob, after seeing your video I went straight outside to see if it would work and YES it did on mine, also my key remote that wasnt working is now working too..< that may just be a coincidence tho >........
Thank you for this video. It helped me without paying $159.00 for a Ford Dealership here in San Antonio, TX that was charging me that much just for them to search within the vehicle for this code. Thank You Again.
This worked like a charm! It took a while for me to find the place to insert my fob, but finally got it. 2019 Ford Explorer, inside the console there is a vertical slot at the far front inside the console. Slip the fob in there with the buttons facing the front of the vehicle. Then follow the video instructions.
I tried this over & over on my 2016 F150 Lariat & it would NOT work, UNTIL I turned the Keys facing down, on accident & the code popped up!!!! Timing is also important, you need to swap them quickly THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Look under the dash on drivers side. It's in really tiny font and there are some other numbers above/below it there if I remember correctly. In my 2004 Ford Freestar van, I think it was on a smaller silver or black "box" just under the dash on drivers side, slightly to the right. You will need a flashlight. It is hard to read because of the tiny font, I'm sure on purpose, but ice used his trick also on two friends vehicles. Hope it helps!!
Great job. I just had to get a key pad code yesterday on a 2009 lincoln MKS. Only had 1 key so I retrieved the code from the back side of the fuse block under the dash
Thanks Jorge - YOU DA MAN!! I had both the Key Fobs for my push button start 2015 F-150 Ford Lariat and it worked exactly as you said it would. I took the number that came up on the screen and followed the instructions for entering a new 5 digit code on my truck door and it worked perfectly. I've been trying to find a way to retrieve this code for 4 years because I refused to pay our local dealerships for it! Thanks again!
Have a new to me 2020 Ford Fusion Energi. The code card was long gone. But it did come with both factory smart keys so it has the push button start. I tried Jorge's tip at least 10 times with no results. Read some comments and if you wait through four chimes instead of counting to four it works like a charm. Thanks Jorge and commenters too
I just bought a 2010 V8 Eddie Bauer 4x4. Would it work on this? I noticed you said in another reply that it might depend on the trim level. My EB has the auto duel climate control, but not the nav system.
I also have the 2010 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V6. Trying to get the key code. I think it's on the smart junction box (SJB) under the driver’s side of the dash. But not sure
OMG!!! I have been looking for a way to do this for 2 years! Where have you been all my life! On my '16 fusion there was a place for the key inside the center console (front left) and it worked like a charm! You're the new Ford wizard my dude. Thanks again Jorge
What is it printed on? Mine was on a box under the dash (Ford van). Just wondering if your location is the only location or if yours also has a location under dash showing it. (Mine was drivers side)
Was locked out of my truck an hour ago, and for the life of me I couldn't remember the code. 69 dollars later I got into the truck and used your instructions, worked! Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to post this!
Carrington Hollister I got a 07. Have u changed ur alternator on this car yet. And if so did u use a oem one or aftermarket one. I had bad luck with 3 aftermarket ones. Just ordered a ford one. Hopefully this fixes my “check charging system error code”
It's under the glove box lift the carpet look behind the plastic for a 5 digit with a letter that's ur factory code and it works or you can reset a new code good luck .
Wow! This is so easy! I have a 2104 Ford Fusion and went to the dealership hoping to get my code ! Well, didn't happen! Thank you so very much for this video! Good to know there are some good honest people left in this world!!
Absolutely awesome. I just bought a used 2018 F-150 Platinum, bucket seats, shifter in between. I had to search but found the key reader under the front cup holder. Thank you for saving me $$ and a trip to the dealership.
YOU ARE A ROCK STAR! My quote from MULLIINAX FORD in WEST PALM BEACH was $80.00. Thank you so much!!! IT WORKS>>IT WORKS>>>IT WORKS...woohoo! In this day and time thats groceries for a week! What a bloody RIP-OFF. I was in there last week to get an extra key...they wanted $250.00 but I had a key contract when I bought the car 2018 Escape SE. I originally requested both be done at the same time and would have paid but after 2 hours there for a key...seems they didn't have time. WHAT a bloody joke! I'll be driving a little further if I ever need a FORD Dealership again. Thats so short-sighted on their part! It took me all of 8 minutes and 1 minute after I was able to contort my back properly (ouch but way worth it) Won't be recommending them thats for sure! I just liked your Facebook page and subscribed to your YOU TUBE channel. Sending blessings to you and your family, stay safe xxx
Thank you very very much Mr. Lopez - your info was truly needed. I give you 5 stars - and thanks to Tomball Ford for having you as a Employee. I will truly recommend to others in the future. I have a 2007 Lincoln Mark L T - being losing my keys - Thanks again Fred
Jorge, I had bought a 2018 350 used and thought the lock pad was not working because they gave me the wrong card or at least the wrong code. YOur video help worked perfectly! Thank you!
Awesome! It worked! No more lock outs! Just a further tip. Take a sharpie marker and write on the vehicle somewhere inconspicuously just in case you ever forget!
Awesome sir! Thank you so much! I just bought a 2015 King Ranch. I was given 1 fob and I didn't want to tear off the kick panel and other plastic. In addition to your info, a door needs to be open to turn off accessory mode with a click of the button. Otherwise, it will go into the next mode. I tried it a few times, then I opened the door and it worked👍🏿
Thanks Jorge, I just had to rescue my dad with his company truck and this will be useful... next time he locks the keys in his truck. “Trick” worked on the 2013 F-150 Eco-Boost.
Thank you so much. I just bought a used 2015 Explorer XLT. The salesman couldn't get me the factory code. The service center at the ford dealership said they would have to charge me 70 dollars. I did what the video said and it worked within seconds
I want to thank you for saving me at least $100.00. I was told all kinds of ways to get the code,like take the kick panel off of the passenger side,then I was told no it’s the drivers side.I never got a straight answer.So again THANK YOU,I’m going to subscribe.
Thanks, Jorge! After I spent a couple of hours on this yesterday, I went to the car and looked through all papers in the dash, piece by piece. I found a card that the original owner had written the unlock code on! Frustration solved! Thanks again, Jorge!
works as advertised, on a 2014 f350, ford wanted 60 dollars for this. no wonder they have a bad rep on somethings like this. called two ford dealerships neither one mentioned this easy 2 step process. as long as people keep sharing info like this they will not get more money from us. thanks for the video take care
2019 XLT with Remote Start here. Under the cup holder nearest the dash there's hole for one of your keys to be placed (it's just a wide plastic hole, not like your actual ignition hole). I put one key in that hole without the key extended, then started the truck with the other key (using the key in the ignition), then turned off the truck. Then swapped keys and repeated. That worked for me. And I also found a cubby hole under my square rubber dash area.
Dude! You are AWESOME for doing this and your other videos! My friend has had her Platinum F150 since it was new in 2012 and she NEVER has known her code and doesn't have patience AT ALL with computer related ANYTHING! I found your video and just want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU SO MUCH! We also watched your video about "things you may not know about your F150" and you were right! She didn't! I have watched THOUSANDS of videos on You Tube trying to learn how to repair various things or figure out things or WHATEVER and I have to say your videos are the ONLY ones I felt compelled to say THANK YOU, WELL DONE and YOU ARE AWESOME!!!🙂🙂😇 Major kudos to you!
Worked on a 2018 King Ranch that I bought used. My FOB indentation is under the front cup holder and vertical(This will also start the truck if the FOB battery is dead, I tried this by removing battery). Stay with it, it'll display eventually with Jorge's right combination. Thank you Mr. Lopez.
Between Jorge and anther guy I have learned so much about these newer Fords. My '11 F350 was kinda advanced but nothing like these later ones, i.e my new F150. I just hit the subscribe button
Thank you Thank you Thank you!! It took a couple of tries, but it eventually worked! I have been around and around with the dealership that my son bought his 2018 Fusion from with absolutely no luck. He bought it used and there was no card with the number on it with the paperwork like there normally is. I brought the car back, sat there for 2 hours only to be told that they couldn't find it. They also said that they could keep it for another 4-5 hours so they could pull things apart to "try to find it". That was going to cost me for labor and I wasn't about to pay. We left it with the Service manager trying to email someone to get it -- that was in July and no one ever got in touch with me. I wish that you worked closer to Maine so that I could buy my next Ford from you!
Wow... sorry to hear you didnt get the help you needed from your local dealer but glad you came here. I am glad I could help. Please help me by sharing and liking this video! Don't forget to subscribe 😀
WOW thank you so much. Bought a 2014 fusion from a dealership but they didnt give a code. This worked first time and only takes maybe 20 seconds. Thanks for this video.
