How can i reset the keyles entry

I'm not sure what you mean by "reset" the keyless entry.I am guessing you are wanting to erase a personal code that has been programed into the keyless entry. The factory code (the code that came with the vehicle) is always there and cannot be changed. If remiving the personal code is what you are looking to do, punch in the factory code that came with the vehicle then after the factory code is entered simply push the 1/2 button within 5 seconds and reliese. This will clear the personal code made and now only the factory code will work. If you want to after you push the 1/2 button you can enter a new personal code. after you push in the new personal code the locks will cycle once to confirm that the new code has been programed and this will also erase any prior personal codes programed into the vehicle. I hope this was what you were needing and I hope it helped. Good luck.

Just purchased a 2003 mountaineer from a used car dealer and they don't have the manual and the alarm doesn't work. How do I get the factory entry code?

the keyless entry code is on the module and in the module memory. A dealer can extract the code ( about $50). You can access the owner manual on line at motorcraft.com, pro center, tech info, owner manual. I have one for $7 plus postage. let me know. Also, look for a plastic credit card in teh glove box with the code on it. The module should be under the dash, driver side I think.
