01 supercrew
Just bought an '01 supercrew. lariat, 5.4l 4WD, 60k miles. I have had a few fords in my time, but this is the nicest one yet.
However, the truck didnt come with a manual.
How do I set up a code for the touchpad entry gimmick?
As it is now I can press one button and the doors unlock. That didnt seem right to me.
Thanks!

That's really weird! It was explained to me by the dealer and by the locksmith that each vehicle is given a 5 digit "factory" code that cannot be changed. Once you know this code, then you can add a second code that has some meaning to you so you can remember it.
Here are the instructions for adding the second "personal" code. Try doing this using just the 1 button that currently works for you.
Hope this helps
Here are the instructions for adding the second "personal" code. Try doing this using just the 1 button that currently works for you.
Programming your own personal entry code
To program your own code:
1. Enter factory set code (keypad will illuminate when pressed).
2. Press 1/2 control within five
seconds of step 1.
3. Enter your personal 5 digit code.
Enter each digit within five seconds
of previous one. Do not set a code that includes five
of the same number or presents them in sequential order. Thieves
can easily figure out these types of codes.
Your personal code does not replace the permanent code that the
dealership gave you. You can use either code to unlock your vehicle. If a
second personal code is entered, the module will erase it in favor of the
new code.
If you wish to erase your personal code, use the following instructions:
Erasing personal code
1. Enter factory set code.
2. Press 1/2 control within five
seconds of step one.
3. Press 7/8 control and 9/0 control
at the same time within five seconds
of step 2.
The system will now only respond
to the factory set code.
Also, if you go to https://myford.fordvehicles.com/ you can register with Ford so you can be informed of any recalls - a good idea since you're probably not the owner that Ford has on record. Once you register you can access the Owner's manual for your vehicle. You'll need your VIN# to register.To program your own code:
1. Enter factory set code (keypad will illuminate when pressed).
2. Press 1/2 control within five
seconds of step 1.
3. Enter your personal 5 digit code.

As for only having to press one button to unlock the doors, I would get that fixed ASAP, who knows how many people walk by your car and randomly push the keypad buttons when you're in a parking lot. Maybe there is a way to pull a fuse or something and disable it until you figure out how to fix it.

The factory default code is on a sticker on the computer. Look under your dash, to the left side of the column, high up.
Try that number and see if it works.

That is exactly right. Look at your top of your emergency brake foot lever and look up way back there. You will see it. It is a white sticker on a black box.
