Can anyone tell me how to change the code for the keypad on the door?

2004 F150 5.4L XLT

 

Should be in your owners manual.... if you don't have one, reply back and I will get the procedure for you.

 

I do not know how, it is in the manual and may be easier to read it from there while standing at the door. If you do not have a manual I'll try to remember to get mine from the truck and type the instructions.

 

just got the truck... I will check glove box for a manual before I have you guys go and do all that.

Thanks!

Type in your factory programmed keycode. press the 1/2 button. type in a five digit personal keycode. presto

 

Just know that when you reprogram, the factory code doesn't get erased. I'm not sure how many codes it stores but my truck has a few different codes that work now.

 

Frustrated: I have the factory code and put in in hit 1/2 then enter my 5 digit code and nothing . I have tried this with key in the switch and turned to on position and nothing happens. I have also tried more than one code.
I noticed that when I am programming that the only time the door activates is when I am entering my personal code and hit the 3/4 is the only activation. Has any one had this same problem

 

I just got my truck a week ago and my factory code works on the keypad. I was planning on messing with a personal code this weekend, so I'll let you know what I found out and can hopefully help you.

 

Finally had chance to mess with this just moments ago.

*Everything below I did with all doors locked & keys on table in house (not in ignition)*

Did you try erasing any personal codes that may exist? (Enter 5 digit factory code, press & release 1/2 then press & hold 1/2 for two seconds). That should erase everything except 5 digit factory code. I did this but visually didn't seem to do anything.

Then I entered the 5 digit factory code, pressed 1/2, entered a new 5 digit personal code of my choosing & the locks clunked two or three times as lights flashed. Now I can enter factory code or personal code & truck unlocks. Works perfect.

Manual says do not set code that uses five of same number or numbers in suquential order. Now not sure if that's just a suggestion or if its impossible but thought maybe that's why your personal code not working. If you set a second personal code it will erase first personal code.

Hope this helps
