I know I'm getting old but I didn't think I was that bad, until last night. I was in my garage and I needed to get something out of my pick up but I didn't have my keys with me. No problem, my truck has keyless entry. So I walked up to the door, looked at the key pad and realized I had no clue what my code was! This was really strange since I've use the code many, many times in the recent past. So now what. I needed to reset the code and to do that you need the original Factory Code. After much searching I found out where to retrieve the factory code. I have a 2017 Ford F-150 but this works back to about 2013 models. Here's the sequence:
1. Get both factory keys.
2. Use the 1st key to turn the ignition to start but don't actually start the truck. Wait about 3 -5 seconds.
3. Turn the key off and remove it.
4. Immediately use the 2nd key to start your vehicle.
5. The Factory Code will display on you information system for a few seconds!
Once you have the Factory Code you can add a personal code, one that you won't forget, as follows:
1. Enter the Factory Code on the Key Pad.
2. Press the 1-2 Key on the Key Pad.
3. Enter your personal 5 number code.
4. Press the 1-2 Key on the Key Pad.
5. The doors will unlock to confirm your personal code.
So now you can unlock your pick up when you don't have your keys with you, and you know how to retrieve the Factory Code when you need to enter a new one!
BTW. I woke up this morning and remembered my old code so I didn't have to enter a new one!
