Ford is adamant about making life more convenient for its drivers. That's why the brand created the Ford Keyless Entry feature, including the SecuriCode keypad system that lets you sync the keyless entry capabilities with the invisible pad.
Where Can I Find The SecuriCode Entry Pad?
Those wondering about the location of Ford's Keyless Entry keypad should focus on the driver's side door when locking and unlocking their vehicles. The long pad is especially visible at night so that some owners may program the feature in their backyard in the evening rather than in the morning.
What Does It Do For Me?
The Ford door keypad allows you to unlock your doors, trunk, and liftgate without needing a key. Start with the factory-set code located on a card in your glove box to tailor the feature to your liking. Precisely press all of the numbers on your card to disengage the driver's side door. Unlocking the other entry points on your vehicle only requires you to push the "3-4" mark once.
You can also release the catch on your trunk using Ford's Keyless Entry. Entering the factory-designated code followed by the "5-6" mark will give you access to space. Pressing the "7-8" and "9-0" marks simultaneously locks all passenger doors.
Do I Have To Use The Factory-Set Code?
You don't have to keep the factory-issued passcode to use the Ford Keyless Entry feature with SecuriCode. You can change the original password to a number sequence you can comfortably remember by entering the factory code. Then, press the "1-2" mark before registering your new code.
Remember to enter all numbers in any given sequence within five seconds to avoid having to start over several times. If you choose to change your passcode, it may also be ideal to write down your new passcode to prevent the catastrophe of being locked out due to entering the wrong numbers.
Ford Keyless Entry Keypad Not Working?
Here are a few tips:
- If the pad has weak illumination, it might be a sign that the battery is getting weak. Unfortunately, the battery is not replaceable, and the pad might need to be replaced.
- If the master code is lost, you must replace the keypad. Ford master codes are not stored anywhere for your security.
- In cold temperatures, the keypad will illuminate for shorter periods of time to save battery life. This is a standard feature, and you need not be concerned.
- If the wrong code has been entered seven times, the keypad will disable itself for one minute. This prevents thieves from continually trying different codes. After one minute, you will be able to try again.
