Default Keyless entry code missing

Just bought a used '16 screw 2.7eb 29k miles with pano roof. This is my fifth f150. (94 lightning, 02 single cab 2wd work for truck, 06 extended cab 2wd, 07 screw fx4) It seems that the auction house or someone decided to take the tonneau cover, all of the rubber in the console and outside of the console and everything except for the manual and the case in the glove box. So I'm short the key tag card for the keyless entry code on the door. I purchased it at a Dodge dealer and of course they have no way of getting it since they bought it at an auction up in Michigan. Thanks in advance if someone could direct me to where it might be in the vehicle like "in the glove box behind a cover" or something else like that.

Keyless Entry Door Keypad Code located on a black & white sticker attached to the Smart Junction Box SJB, it is 5-digit followed by a letter.

It's under the instrument panel on the right. You have to remove the lower trim if I remember

A simple Google search will reveal it, include the model year. For a 2016, I believe the manual (found at owner.ford.com) will tell you to insert 1 key, turn but don't start, then the other, turn but don't start, to display it.

That's my other problem, the truck only has one key, dealer has it on order.

And I already did a"simple Google search" often these searches are generic and you waste more time than just going to the correct source like here.

Sjb is located passenger side kick panel footwell. Partially remove kick plate, remove fuse panel lid, remove vertical kick panel, partially pull away door seal. Number is located on the back of the sjb. I was able to get my cell phone camera behind it at took about 6 pictures before I was able to zoom in to see the numbers. Thanks to all that replied to this thread.

That's what I came here to say as well!

As long as you have both keys, and one isn't a copy of the other, it will work.

Put key 1 in the ignition, and turn it to ON. Wait a second, turn it to OFF. Remove key 1 and insert key 2. Turn ignition to ON. The factory keyless entry code will be shown in the gauge cluster for like 10 seconds.

Another option you have, is to run it down by your local ford dealership. It only takes 5 minutes to access the code through IDS.

EDIT: I see I'm late to the party here, and didn't read well either. Glad you got it figured out, OP!

How about with a keyless truck? My truck came with the code, since dealer asked me which code I wanted. But somehow, it was lost. Couldn't find it anywhere after I got home. Right now my code is programmed, but if I disconnect the battery, it might erase. I'd like to get it, but don't want to take anything apart. I have both fobs. Hopefully there's a way to get it. How about with FORScan, if not possible with both fobs? Thanks.
