How can i get the code fro the radio i do not have the remote for keyless entree can i just buy any remote and then have it programed

Hello Cathy

It does indeed have keyless entry. It needs reprogramming when you get a new remote. Also if you disconnect the battery. Usually a local car alarm fitting shop, or an auto-electrician will do it. Plus of course a Ford dealership.

The keyless entry system consists of the following components:

• driver door module (DDM)
• keyless entry transmitter
• keyless entry keypad

The driver door module (DDM) receives inputs from the digital transmission range (TR) sensor, ignition switch, brake switch, window/door lock switches, lighting control module (LCM), keyless entry keypad switch and remote transmitter. The DDM outputs consists of keyless entry keypad switch illumination, power door lock actuators, luggage compartment release solenoid, horn relay, and lighting control module (LCM).

• Battery junction box (BJB) fuses:
  • circuit breaker 7 (20A)
• Central junction box (CJB)

  • 8 (25A)
  • 13 (5A)
• Keyless entry keypad switch
• Power door lock actuator
• Luggage compartment release switch
• Luggage compartment release solenoid

• If fuse's good have checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes .
• B1526 Keyless Entry Circuit Short to Ground DDM Go To Pinpoint Test E . B1553 Decklid Release Circuit Short to Battery DDM Go To Pinpoint Test B . B1751 Park/Neutral Switch Circuit Short to Battery DDM Go To Pinpoint Test K . B2425 Remote Keyless Entry Out of Synchronization DDM Go To Pinpoint Test L Need a professional grade scan tool to check fro these codes . Not a code reader for OBD2 codes .

• The doors do not lock/unlock using the remote transmitter

• Remote transmitter not programmed.
• Remote transmitter.
• DDM.

• Go To Pinpoint Test F .

If you still have the factory radio, there is a way to split the power wire for the factory radio to the aftermarket radio. All you will need are the power and ground for your aftermarket radio, so the rest of the wires should be untouched on the plug for the factory radio. You can simply re-install the radio within the dash and retain the keyless entry as well as restoring your dome light function. Here's a PDF of some instructions. If you did not keep the radio, I would suggest looking online or ins ome junk yards, because it is needed. www.installdr.com/InstallDocs/Honda/PDF/466013.pdf

can you hear the pump trying to work?
