How to reset code on door - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport

If you don't have the original code you can't. If you have an aftermarket radio, you can't. I can reset them with my scanner. But not if the radio isn't factory. I don't know if the dealer can. Call around.

This is the only way, if your FOB doesn't work. The system has to be in good working order. Lock the truck down. all doors and hood and hatch. open the door with the key. drivers side first, then try the passenger side(one at a time). These are the only doors that will reset security. If still no reset. You will have to have the codes read. Find some one that can read these codes(at your home) or tow it to a shop or dealer. Code readers won't read security. Has to be a scanner.

Your door code should be on a sticker inside the trunk lid. That's where Ford put it on my several different models.

Lock doors with the key. Take out key . Insert key open and close lock 5 times then on the fifth turn open door this will reset the disable code to normal . I had this code on my P38 Range Rover and the Rover Tech assisted me with this simple way to reset the engine disable fault code . Good Luck .

need to find original access code,5 number code in trunk lid,original card or bring to dealer to retrieve from pcm and enter code then press 1 and then enter personal code

You will find your five number lock code behind the fuse panel under dash driver side [by left foot] Take a small socket and remove two nuts on fuse box ,pull out about an inch and a half.Now using a flashlight and very small mirror look behind fuse box at the white tag.Look for the 5 numbers together[it will be backwards due to mirror]Write them down.Enter 5 numbers on keypad on door,driver door should unlock.I just did this on my 01 Sable yesterday,Thanks rebolser

Sorry,but the factory code always works.Ford may be able to change it,though. don-ohio

Open the trunk and up under the package tray where rear speakers mount,on the passenger side you will see the module.It will be black and have 3 connectors to it.It will have a sticker on it with a 5 digit code.It will also have a sticker on one of the trunk hindges with this code if someone has not removed it.Here is how the system works:

Keyless Entry Keypad To unlock the driver front door (20124), and disarm the anti-theft alarm control (19A366) (if equipped):

• Enter the permanent factory code.
• Enter the owner's alternate code.

To unlock the passenger door(s), press the 3/4 button within five seconds of unlocking the driver front door or luggage compartment door (40110) . To unlock the luggage compartment door, press the 5/6 button within five seconds of unlocking the driver or passenger door(s). To turn on the interior lamps (13776) and light all illuminated components, lift either front door handle (22404) and press any button on the keyless entry keypad (14A626) . To lock all doors, press the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons at the same time. (It is not necessary to enter the key code first.) This will turn off courtesy lamps. To program a temporary code:

• Enter permanent code.
• Within five seconds of pressing last button of permanent code, press 1/2 button.
• Enter any alternate five-digit code within five seconds of pressing 1/2 button.

the permanent code is on the inside of the glove box door. Also on a plastic card with the owner manual packet.
You must use the permanent code to reset your personal code which will then unlock the doors. Your owner manual will walk you through the reset procedure.

Call selling dealer if no permanent code can be found.
