Take the van to the dealer to get the key code.

You can download the owners manual at the site below. It does not tell us where the control box is. I will keep looking for a service manual that helps the person asking the question.

maybe this will help.on a 95 its behind the lower center storage compartment below the radio.its held on with four plastic screws,remove the screws and remove the storage compartment.the module is bolted on with two 9mm nuts,its black and has a lot of wires running to it.if you push your door lock button you can hear and feal the relays in the module.you can undo the two 9mm bolts and pull the module out enough to read the 5 digit code or leave it bolted and use a mirror to see the backside of the module,but dont unplug anything,its not needed.enter that code and within 5 seconds hold down the 1/2 button for a couple seconds then enter the new 5 digit code within 5 seconds

The code is on the Computer module. The computer module is under the audio system in the dash. I don't know how to remove it to look at the code.....

Ford cars and such will put a sticker on the hinge or back gate with the numbers on it. It will just be a white sticker with black numbers. A five digit code. Ford provides this number on a small credit-card type card, inside the Owner's Manual binder.





Unless you got the code from where or whom you purchased your Windstar from, you will have to go to the dealer and have them run the VIN numbers and retreive the original code. Normally there is about a $25.00 charge to do this by the dealer. Once you have the original code, your owners manual will instruct you how to reset it to a different code if you so desire.


the owners manual says that it is located on the computer module, and in the original sleeve of the manaul. I am looking to find the computer module. It is usually under the dash, behind the radio or steering column.




call a dealership parts department for the code.. also...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the local library should have a professional shop manual available, to make copies of, in the Reference section...good luck:)
You should get a card in your Owners Manual case that has a 5 digit number on





The 2001 Ford Windstar manual says that the 3 places where the code is located is: 1. On a card (almost business card size) in the glove compartment - my Windstar did not have it (my 1989 Ford Thunderbird had this card and still has it) 2. A sticker that is located on the computer module - this should be located underneath the dash/steering wheel on the driver's side (by the fuze box - bolted to the firewall of the car/van) - my van did not have this sticker on the module 3. The Dealer - my dealer wants $41+tax to hook up a computer to it to scan the Van's computer _______________ 4. I did a search on eBay and there are mechanics that claim that they can tell you where to look inside your Van to find the code, and they only want about $15.00 for this. I have not opted for this yet, but eventually will give it a try perhaps. This is contrary to what the Ford Windstar manual said (it did not say of any other place to find this code).

Normally there is a module inside the trunk. This module has a part number tag and a 5-digit code on it. That code is "the" code.
