If you are unable to retrieve the keyless entry code, visit your preferred Ford Dealer, as they may be able to use diagnostic equipment to obtain it. There may be a charge for this service. 

For security reasons, this information can only be provided to you in person by visiting the Dealer. Once there, you must provide them with both: 

  • Personal identification such as a valid Driver's License, a state-issued picture identification, or a passport.
  • Vehicle documentation with the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and your name on it. Examples could include current Vehicle Registration, Certificate of Automobile Insurance, Vehicle Title, or Bill of Sale.
