Where do I find the key code or the original keyless entry code to reset my keyless code on an 01 Explorer?

I lost the keys and forgot the keyless entry code to my 2001 Explorer Sport Trac (had been parked for a while). Now where do I find the key code so I can have a new key cut by a dealer or find the code to reset my keyless entry (on the door)? Thanks!

it should be in the owners manual, but if not, it tells you were it is :)
Reply:on the back hatch there should be the code, or just bring to dealer and they will look it up
Reply:I hope you found your keys by now. Incase you did find them, I found a few sites that said different things about resetting the keycodes.... I have an 01 Explorer Sport, inside my owners manual there is a plastic card about the size of a credit card that lists it. ( I forgot my code once too, I stood there punching in codes for a little while and it eventually came back to me and I got it. You didnt say how long you have the truck, so I hope you did try and memorize it. I was also very nervous when I forgot it and I just took a deep breath to relax and, like I said before, I started punching in numbers that I remembered.

Whew! I am debating if it would have been worth it to let the dealer get the code for $70? It took me about 2 1/2 hours but that was due largely because the instructions I found were not very accurate on where to locate the CSM (Computer Security Module). If I knew exactly where to start with, I could have completed the job in 20-30 minutes. Here is the shortcut for anybody else to follow:








It is located on the Passenger side on the post behind the rear door and underneath all the plastic trim. I is bolted to the side and is under the lower trim cover.








Step 1 - Pull the rubber door gasket loose from the bottom all around the rear of the door opening and about halfway across the top.








Step 2 - Rotate the two metal clips that are attached to the upper trim piece on the rear of the door opening.








Step 3 - Unsnap the rear clips of the upper trim piece (the one where the seat belt comes out of) by tugging on the rear edge. There are 3 clips in there in the rear.








Step 4 - Unsnap the last clip in the center up high.








Step 5 - Remove the trim piece by pulling the bottom of the piece outward and pulling downward. There is a metal "guide" in the top-front area just above the seat belt opening that you will need to watch.








Step 6 - Now remove the small metal clip that holds the bottom plastic trim piece to the edge of the door opening. It will be down by the bottom of the door opening.








Step 7 - Pull the top of the bottom plastic trim piece out as much as you can to see the CSM bolted to the wall behind it. The CSM will be the black box about 5" wide by 4" tall by 1" deep. You should wedge something in between the trim piece and the metal of the door edge to give you both hands free.








Step 8 - Now that you have both hands free, reach into the CSM and pull up on the bottom of the module to rotate the front up toward you a bit so you can see the label on the front. The 5 digit code will be the last 5 of the numbers underneath a bar code. The 5 digits are grouped out by themselves so you will recognize it.








Step 9 - Now before you put all this trim back, walk around to the driver's side door and try out the code to make sure it works.








Step 10 - Put it all back in reverse order. DONE!





**************************************...

















Some models have the keycode behind the passenger headlight on the module (I'm saying this just incase, by dumb luck, your hood isn't locked)











You cannot change/reset the factory code but can program your own personal codes if you have the factory code {or your personal code}...here's how to do it:








1. Enter the factory-set {or personal} code (keypad will illuminate when pressed).





2. Press the 1/2 button within 5 seconds of Step 1





3. Enter your {new} personal 5-digit code. Enter each digit within 5 seconds of the previous one.





The manual states: Do not set a code that includs three of the same number or presents them in sequential order; these types of codes are easier to figure out. {It will accept them, however.}





Your personal code does not replace the factory code. You can use either to unlock the vehicle. If a second personal code is entered, the module will erase the first personal code in favor of the new code.





To exit, press 7/8 and 9/0 simultaneously or allow more than 5 seconds to elapse since a button press occured and the 5 digit keycode will be programmed.""
Reply:if you cant get inside call the manufacture on their toll free help line and give them the vin number and they can tell you every thing that you need to know about your explorer
Reply:It should be in your owners manual on a white plastic card. In absence of that, it's affixed to a decal on the RAP (remote anti-theft personality) module. It is located behind the trim panel that is behind your rear seats. To access the module requires removing the panel to get a clear view. There should be a black box, with two connectors to it, secured by two bolts. The five digit code will be on the label. You will have to get the dealer to obtain your key code information when you give them your VIN because you not only to have new keys cut, but they will need to be PROGRAMMED as well (your vehicle uses PATS keys). You might as well have them obtain your keyless entry code as well, while you're there. Sorry, but there's no other way around it.
Reply:Look in your owners manual or take it to the dealer and have them reset it.
