Programming your own personal entry code

To program your own code:

1. Enter factory set code (keypad will illuminate when pressed).

2. Press 1/2 control within five

seconds of step 1.

3. Enter your personal 5 digit code.

Enter each digit within five seconds

of previous one.

Do not set a code that includes five

of the same number or presents

them in sequential order. Thieves

can easily figure out these types of codes.

Your personal code does not replace the permanent code that the

dealership gave you. You can use either code to unlock your vehicle. If a

second personal code is entered, the module will erase it in favor of the

new code.

If you wish to erase your personal code, use the following instructions:

1. Enter factory set code.

2. Press 1/2 control within five

seconds of step one.

3. Press 7/8 control and 9/0 control

at the same time within five seconds

of step 2.

The system will now only respond
to the factory set code.

If you don't have the original factory code you'll need to contact Ford/Mercury customer service through their web site and provide the VIN for the vehicle. Once you have the original code, you can program your own number by following these steps:

1. Enter the factory set code.
2. Within 5 seconds press the 1-2 key
3. Enter your personal 5-digit code. Each number mus be entered within 5 seconds of each other.
4. Doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that your new code has been entered and accepted.

NOTES:
1. The factory code will still work even after you have entered your new personal code.
2. Entering a new personal code will erase the previous personal code.

I have a Ford GT shop manual for $25, 2005 or 2006. It will help you fix all things on your GT

door pad keyless codes?

in owner manual, enter permanent code and then press "1" and enter personal code, then press "1" again. Then both codes will work.

If you don't have manual, go to Motorcraft.com and click on technical resources and click on your year owner manual.

---------------------------------------------
Each vehicle equipped with a keyless entry keypad is programmed with a five-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet card in the Owner Literature package. In addition, this code is available through a diagnostic tool and is also printed on the vehicle security module label. When entering codes each digit must be entered within five seconds of the previous button press.
Programming/Erasing Personal Code
A unique personal five-digit code can be programmed by following these steps:

1. Enter the factory set five-digit code (the keypad will illuminate when pressed).

1. Press 1/2 within five seconds of Step 1.

1. Enter the unique five-digit code.

The personal code does not substitute for the permanent factory set code. Either code can be used to access the vehicle. In addition, if a second personal code is programmed, it will simply overwrite the previous personal code. To erase a personal code, carry out the following procedure:

1. Enter factory set five-digit code.

1. Press 1/2 within five seconds of Step 1.

1. Press 7/8 and 9/0 at the same time within five seconds of Step 2.

The system will now only respond to the factory set code.
Anti-Scan Feature
To provide added security, the keyless entry pad is disabled for one minute after 35 button presses without a valid entry code being entered. The keypad will flash during this one-minute mode with all functionality disabled except for 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.
Anti-Scan will be turned off after any of the following events:

• one minute of keypad inactivity
• the keyless entry remote transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed
• the ignition is turned to the ON position.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.

1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

If you are talking about the cam brg caps, they are 10nm. I would be very careful when doing this, as the bolts must be torqued down in order. The sequence is too complicated to go into here. I would strenuously suggest you pay the $50 and buy a shop manual.
