Where do I find the key code or the original keyless entry code to reset my keyless code on an 01 Explorer?

Question

I lost the keys and forgot the keyless entry code to my 2001 Explorer Sport Trac (had been parked for a while). Now where do I find the key code so I can have a new key cut by a dealer or find the code to reset my keyless entry (on the door)? Thanks!

Answer 1

it should be in the owners manual, but if not, it tells you were it is :)

It should be in your owners manual on a white plastic card. In absence of that, it's affixed to a decal on the RAP (remote anti-theft personality) module. It is located behind the trim panel that is behind your rear seats. To access the module requires removing the panel to get a clear view. There should be a black box, with two connectors to it, secured by two bolts. The five digit code will be on the label. You will have to get the dealer to obtain your key code information when you give them your VIN because you not only to have new keys cut, but they will need to be PROGRAMMED as well (your vehicle uses PATS keys). You might as well have them obtain your keyless entry code as well, while you're there. Sorry, but there's no other way around it.

Answer 4

Look in the trunk, probably on the trunk hinge, you will find the original code on a label there.

Answer 5

The absolutely free reverse vin check sites generally provide fake information. To get real information, money will have to be paid. The free searches provide fake information so they can get your email address to send spam.



Stay away from shady reverse vin check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable reverse vin check site like http://www.reversevincheck.net that has been around since 1995.
