How to change keyless entry code when I don't know the current

Visit a Lincoln dealer with proof of ownership.

You might be able to get the code from the dealer if it is the original code. You will need to prove ownership in person.

You have to go to a lincoln dealer with your title
& Vin #,they will give you the factory code for the
Keyless Entry on the drivers door

Make sure you have them write down to proceedure
that was in the owners manual ,so you can change it
to what you want.

I have a 2004 LS I don't know if it is the same.
Have no way to scan it & send it to you

Open the right/rear door. Pull the rubber weatherstrip back from the door opening. Fold the right/rear seatback down into a locked position, in order to facilitate access to the right/rear trim panel. Carefully, pry the right/rear upper trim panel housing the right/rear seat belt height adjuster. Now carefully pry back the lower trim panel taking care now to break it, exposing the vehicle security module with three connectors plugged into it, coloured green, blue, and grey. Look on the label that has the part number 4L2T-15K602-EB. There are FIVE numbers to the right of that number. Those five numbers are your keyless entry keypad code. Hope this helps.

Hello Dale.

I did a little searching for you as I couldn't find it in the manual.
I hope this answer from another site will help you.

I have never had to search for the module as they are a reliable component. But this does make sense to me.

Thank you for using FixYa.

A little secret to finding the code for keypad. Open the trunk. There should be a sticker on one of the trunk hinge arms with numbers on it. If you locate that sticker, there is the code for the keypad.

KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM With the keyless entry keypad, you can: • lock or unlock the vehicle doors without using the key. Your vehicle has a factory set 5 digit code that operates the keyless entry system. You can also program your own 5 digit personal entry code. The factory-set code is located: • on the owner's wallet card in the glove compartment • or at your dealer. When pressing the controls on the keyless entry keypad, press the middle of the controls to ensure a good activation. This system will disable the power door lock controls. These will not work until the vehicle is disarmed. Programming your own personal entry code To program your own code: 5. Enter factory set code (keypad will illuminate when pressed). 6. Press 1/2 control within five seconds of step 1. 7. Enter your personal 5 digit code. Enter each digit within five seconds of previous one. 8. After the code is entered, the locks will cycle, confirming that the new code has been set. 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 the first personal code in favor of the new code. Locks and Security 149 Locks and Security If you wish to erase your personal code, use the following instructions: 1. Enter factory set code. 2. Press 1/2 control and release. The system will now only respond to the factory set code. Anti-scan feature The anti-scan feature prevents repeated attempts at arriving at a valid key code. The keyless entry pad is disabled for 1 minute after 7 unsuccessful attempts (35 consecutive button presses) at entering a valid key code. The keypad will flash during this 1 minute mode. However, the 7/8 and 9/0 controls will still lock the vehicle. Anti-scan will be turned off after: • one minute of keypad inactivity. • the remote entry transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed. • the ignition is turned to the ON position. Unlocking the doors with the keyless entry system To unlock the driver door, enter either the factory set code or the personal code (each digit must be pressed within five seconds of the prior digit). The interior lamps will also illuminate. To unlock all doors, enter the factory set code or personal code (driver door unlocks) and press the 3/4 control within five seconds. Locking the doors with the keyless entry system It is not necessary to enter the factory or personal code prior to locking all doors. To lock the doors: • with the driver's door closed, press the 7/8 control and the 9/0 control at the same time.

If you have the owners manuel it is in there or just call a dealership if you don't and they can give the factory code to you. Just have your year, model, and v.i.n.

Every car different, call an auto rescue or towing company, the trucks are usually equiped with slim jims, that can be used to gain access to your vehicle.

Hope this helps.

the keyless code is by the right rear door panel. open the door, remove the panel that's over the the seatbelt. after doing that open but you don't have just kind of stretch out and their you will find a black box or reciever with a sticker and a 5 digit code stamped on it. if you want to change the passcode refer to your manual, but you'll need the original code to be able to change it.
