I have a 2004 Ford Explorer XLs and I just found my security code. The Bosch computer module was behind the lower plastic panel on the passenger side rear panel right below the seat belt height adjuster. Not the panel with the seatbelt adjuster but the one below it. No tools were needed and it took me all of 5 minutes. Just pop off the front of the panel closest to the door and pull it back. Use a light and you can see the large 5 digit code on top of the module. Thanks very much to the people that contribute to this forum....Cheers
I have a 2001 Ford Explorer sport trac and the module is located behind the front passengers side panel. I would have to believe that the 2002 Explorer would be the same.
My anti-theft system was going off and the truck would not start...I was frustrated, but to turn it off you simply have to use your key and unlock your drivers side door. I do not have the remote or the keyless entry code since I purchased the truck used. If it has the keyless entry on the driver's side door, punch in the correct number to unlock the door and the system should be disarmed. Open the tailgate door and in the left panel open the jack panel and inside there is a module with 2 plugs. This is the Keyless module, disconnect the right one and you have it..
If you want to change the FACTORY code a new anti-theft control module or RAP module would have to be installed and you would have to get new remotes to go with the change
Your computer or Module is faulty.
You would have to buy a computer control module from
The engine is governed by the computer module. You will have to purchase an after market module w/o a limiter.
It would be unable to do so if it was not connected to the internet
A laptop or notebook
Ford does not willingly divulge such information even to mechanics in their own dealerships, in any case the module is "flashed" from a Ford specific scanner {NGS new generation star tester} with the correct up to date software card, the security module can be an integral part of the PCM {Power train control module} the GEM module {generic electronic control module, there are also body control modules, and in some cases the vehicle security is controlled by the instrument cluster module, all are accessed by the Ford specific scanner and even the best of aftermarket scanners cannot access the security centre or reflash it, to the best of my knowledge. When taking Ford training on this stuff, the course is called Pats training {passive anti theft system} If you would like to discuss this further I can be contacted directly at dadunn1105@shaw.ca
Where would I find the factory key code location on a 2003 Expedition?
I'm not a mechanic / technician but as far as I know if you change the RAP module ( remote antitheft personality module ) and the remotes then you would have a different FACTORY entrance code
A bad ingnition module, Are a bad computer.
