Keyless entry...

[RG1Baja]

Does anybody know how to change your code on a keyless entry key pad? Basically my cousin got a divorce and the guy continues to get into her car so she needs to change it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's on a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.

1) Go to any Ford dealership. If the manager hears what is going on they should do it for free. I think when my dad did ours they just gave us a set of codes to put in. Check the owner's manual, that might have it in it.

2) Talk to the guy's boss. He will probably get fired or atleast given a stern warning.

With the keyless entry keypad you can:

Lock or unlock the vehicle doors without using the key
Arm and disarm the perimeter alarm system
Activate/deactivate the autolock feature

Your vehicle has a factory-set 5-digit code that operates the keyless entry system. The code is located on a sticker on the computer module (RAP). When pressing the controls on the keyless entry keypad, press the middle of the buttons to ensure a good activation.

IMPORTANT: Every step outlined in every procedure below must be done within five(5) seconds of the previous step.

Programming your own personal entry code

Enter the factory-set code (keypad will illuminate when first digit is pressed).
Press the 1/2 control.
Enter your personal 5-digit code.
Your personal code does not replace the factory-set code. You can use either code to unlock your vehicle. Each time you set a new personal code the module will erase the previous one in favor of the new code.

Deprogramming (erasing) your own personal code and leaving only the factory-set

Enter the factory-set code.
Press the 1/2 control.
Press the 7/8 and 9/0 controls at the same time.
The system will now only respond to the factory-set code.

Unlocking the driver's door (also disarms the perimeter alarm system)

Enter either the factory-set code or the personal code. The interior lights will illuminate as soon as the first valid digit is pressed.
Unlocking all doors

Unlock the driver's door then press the 3/4 control.
Locking the doors (also arms the perimeter alarm system)

Press 7/8 and 9/0 controls at the same time. The 5-digit code does not have to be entered.

Your personal code does not replace the factory-set code.

Handy bunch of info, but the above negates it as help for the situation.
I agree with Ramsey.
Then take it to the dealer & get it either changed, or failing that, de-activated.
