Well, I feel like a dumb***. The 22-pin box IS the RAP.

I figured it out when I took a flashlight and a mirror with me. The backside of this 22-pin box has a label that says "Remote Keyless Entry". The side facing me has a white sticker with designations for each of the 22 pins. I used the mirror on all 6 sides of the box, and could not locate the 5-digit number. Any ideas?

 

i dont know if you realize this...the 5 digit # is for the keypad entry. so if you cant find the # on the RAP, then i would assume u dont have it.
maybe u do have it, in which case i really cany help ya.

 

Correct. I do not have keypad entry. I just assumed that because the original poster didn't mention it either, that the code must be an alternative way to program new remotes in addition to being a keypad code as well.

I guess my next step is to hit eBay for a couple of remotes, since I have the system. My only concern is programming them with the key on/off sequence, since my doors lock automatically the instant the key is turned on. I did the 8 on/off sequence for the heck of it, and the doors locked as usual, but didn't unlock. Who knows if the programming mode was entered or not?

 

the programming mode is all in the timing.
ive heard of people with the same auto lock problem and theyve managed to do it.

get a beer, maybe a cigarette, and go out and play around with it. practice makes perfect.

 

I'm definitely getting the 8 on/off's in under 10 seconds. Until I have a remote in hand, I guess it's all a moot point anyway.

Since I don't drink or smoke, this may be a bit of a challenge.

 

i got to looking around also and found a white box with FOUR digits on it . (I do not have a keypad on the door) does this mean i can get a remote fob and program it and it will still work??
sort of confuzzed with all the talk of five digits

Don't worry about the 5-digits printed on some of them. All you need to do is see if you have a RAP box under the driver's side of the dash. The one in my '99 is a black box measuring 3.25" wide X 4.5" long X 1" thick with a white sticker, and it has 22 wires going into it. Mine is ziptied in a horizontal position, and the side away from me (top side) says "Remote Keyless Entry" on it.

I'm no expert, but from my limited research on this board, it appears that all of the '97 and up XLT models come standard with remote keyless entry, and it is optional on the other models. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

 

That sounds like an after market system is installed, the factory autolock is only after the truck is placed into gear. At least he '99 Owners Manual still reads the same as the '01+ owners manuals ( which does not mean a whole lot, considering they forgot the part about the aux fuse panel under the hood in this MY ).

If you have a back box that says RAP on it, I would assume you have the RKE. You can try 2 things.
1. buy the remotes and hope
2. find someone with a ford with RKE, and try programming his RKE fobs to your truck first. You should still get the lock / unlock cycle, so try cycling faster for the 8 times. ??

Good luck

 

Can't find it in the thread, did you try to cycle your key in the programming steps above ?

That is the easy way to check if you can program RKE fobs.

The 4 large digits don't ring a bell, but that does not mean much. The 97 to 00 MY trucks were all just a little different then each, and from the '01 - '03 MY trucks.

 

For what it's worth, others in the following thread have indicated that their doors also lock immediately upon turning the ignition key on:

I've been looking under the dash and this is all i came up with

found this box under the steering column
also tried cycling the key and no luck
maybe i don't have the magical box

 

My 2001 XLT Screw does not have remote keyless.

 

The RAP is not under the steering column, it is on the firewall.

Look at the picture above, with the white box in it. The 2nd picture shows the parking brake mech on the left hand side of the picture.

Still might not be there, but you are looking in the wrong place with the picture in your post.
