Ford Tech Genius Needed!
This is not specifically an F150 question, but something for a Ford Tech genius:
How can I retrieve the factory-equipped door code from a dealer-installed Ford accessory RF keyless entry keypad? Note this is NOT the OEM keypad, but an aftermarket Ford accessory that uses RF signals (not internal wiring).
None of the dealers around here can figure it out. I know there is a method, but I don't know what it is.

No...there is a method. It is in the Ford manual. But none of the dealers I know have techs that are skilled enough to learn the procedure, or they just aren't interested in learning anything new.
I even printed the Ford procedure for the EXACT accessory, they all claim it doesn't work.
Like most so-called "experts", they all get defensive when some outside source tries to introduce them to something new.

I'm confused... you said "factory equipped" but then said non-OEM? Which is it?
If you have two keys, here's Fords method for retrieving the factory set code.
You will need to have two programmed passive anti-theft keys for this procedure. To display the factory-set code in the information display:

If neither of those work, I'm out of suggestions and I'm inclined to agree with djfllmn in that you would have to replace it.

- Insert a key into the ignition and switch the ignition on for a few seconds.
- Switch the ignition off and remove the key.
- Insert the second key into the ignition and switch the ignition on.
- The factory-set code will display for a few seconds. It may not display until after other warning messages have displayed first.

Maybe you should post the part number and the procedure.

Dont be confused, It is very simple:
It is NOT the factory-installed keyless entry system (which is hard wired into the BCM). Those retrieval procedures are pretty straightforward.
This is a dealer-installed FORD ACCESSORY. As such, there are Ford service procedures for it. There are definite keypad retrieval procedures, but the dealer must be able to access the proper Ford website through several password-protected levels to get to the procedure.
I have every password and every step figured out except for the last password, which gives the keycode retrieval instructions.
Clearly, this is a very protected webpage for obvious reasons.
Every dealer I've talked to is just uninterested in learning how to do it.
I think I'll try to get ahold of "Macaluso" (or whatever his name is) He has always been the one that seems to know all the little Ford details.
Sorry if I confused anyone with my previous posts.

If you've already gotten this far then disregard but I found these instructions which may prove helpful.
C2 – LOOK UP MASTER CODE THROUGH ONLINE APPLICATION
The accessory wireless RF keypad can only be used with vehicles that are factory built with RKE and
without PEPS (vehicles that require IDS for programming the wireless RF keypad can have PEPS if it
does not also have factory remote start). The master code for the wireless RF keypad can be
retrieved from FMCDealer- Parts and Service- Parts Product Line Information- Keys/Entry Devices-
Aftermarket Keyless Entry Keypad Code Access. Access to this site is granted to DPES authorized
users. Once accessed, the master code retrieval process is given.
The master code for the wireless RF keypad cannot be retrieved from the body module with a
diagnostic tool.
General Information
• You will only see the key code link if your user ID has been granted access.
• The wireless RF keypads are a dealer accessory.
• Key codes are available for both wireless RF keypad versions:
• 7L2Z-14A626–BA
• ES7Z-14A626–A
• The system will provide the master key code once the flash code has been entered.
• To get the flash code from the wireless RF keypad (read all steps prior to performing code
retrieval):
• Press and hold the 1/2 and 3/4 buttons on the keypad.
• While pressing the 1/2 and 3/4 buttons, press and hold the 7/8 button until the 9/0 button
flashes, then release the buttons.
• Count and record each flash (including the first one). The 9/0 button will flash each digit
with a series of flashes at a one flash per second rate. There will be a 3 second pause between
each digit. The flash code has 5 digits, each digit can be 1-5 (that is, a 1 will flash once
followed by a 3 second pause, a 4 will flash four times followed by a 3 second pause, then the next
digit will flash, followed by a 3 second pause until all 5 digits have been sent). These five
digits are the flash code.
• When the Aftermarket Keyless Entry Keypad Code Access site is reached:
• Enter the five digit flash code and press submit to get the master code.
