As far as I know, you are stuck with that code. You might question your dealer about it.

The 99-03 MY has the RKE & keypad to the RAP / CSM ( Remote Antitheft Personality / Central Security Module ), with the factory code on it.
This is located up behind the dash on the driver's side.
Note parking brake to the left side of the picture.
Driver's side floor.
Looking up behind dash. That white box has a 5 digit code on it.
Left side of picture is the ratchet mech for the parking brake.

The only other "programming" required is to program your RKE fobs to the new CSM, the procedure is in the owners manual for this process.
No other programming or trip to the dealer / shop is required. The CSM is a self contained unit that is connected into the power door locks.
'01 to '03 MY F-150s have the CSM, so any XLT with RKE or Lariat in a junk yard should have what you need for cheap.
The online parts dealers and parts.com do not list the RKE components for a 2003, so I have no idea what a new CSM goes for from Ford. Maybe a call to one of the Ford Dealers that sell parts online, if you want to be sure of a working part, or if you would rather have a new CSM vs. used.

You have the CSM in the 2003, it is an easy direct change of your CSM to another CSM ( make sure it is a CSM, not a RAP they are not 1:1 pin compatible ).

Thanks, this sounds expensive.
