Keypad resetting

Another newbie question here... I got this '04 F350 PSD and need to reset the keypad security code. I've read the manual and understand the procedure, but I do not have the factory default code. Did some searching here and Google, but didn't get any clear advice. Tere's a guy selling insructions on eBay, but I'm leary of that and think there's bound to be some ublic knowledge on this topic.

How do I get the factory code or is there another way to reset the "custom" code?

THANKS!!

There should be a card in the front cover of the owners manual binder thingy, on that card should be the default code. If that card does not exist then I think you are going to have to find the VSM which is located under the dash in approx the center of the truck. There should be a sticker on it with the code. If that fails then you are off to the dealer. I would skip the ebay scam altogether on this one.

Very well... Thanks for the reply!!

Youre welcome, come back and tell us how you turned out on this.

If the code is on the VSM unit that'll be a first for me. If the code can't be located perhaps a quick swing by the Ford dealer you purchased from as they may hook up the programmer no charge

When i purchased my 2K Ex, the numbers were nowhere to be found. Had to have the dealer hook up the diag. to read the code out of the PCM. Now i have my own code on the door...

its also on the bottom of the radio upside down and backwards
, may or may not be on the ecm/pcm as well

If someone changed it, does the default code still work? My dealer told me the only way to get it was from the PCM if it had been changed.

The funny thing is... I bought this big guy used from a Toyota dealer. They didn't seem to know anything about the truck. That's probably why I was able to make a good deal on such a super clean rig. I'll call my local Ford dealer to see what they have to tell me. I'm guessing that they'll want to stick me with a nice diag charge for this simple thing.

To draftlover's question... I'm no expert on these trucks (obviously), but my owner's manual states that there are 2 code sequences - 1 permanent factory code and 1 customer set code. You have to know the factory code in order to set the custom code.

Thanks again for all te feedback... I've got a bunch of questions, so I'll be searching for the answers here often!
