I am unable to use the keyless entry function on my car because i don't know the prior owner's entry code and I don't have the factory set code. In order for me to reprogram my own personal entry code, I have to have the factory set entry code that is taped to the computer module (according to owners manual) where will I find the computer module

You don't have to pay a dealer anything

You do have to go there to get the factory
code,then you can change to whatever you want,
if you have an owners manual or they write it down
for you

Not a reset code,just a security code

You wouldn't really expect the whole world to know
your code would you? Your on the internet,people
know you & want to steal your vehicle

You go to a dealer with your tittle,registration,drivers
licence

They don't just give that to anybody

They will give you the factory code

Why don't you have the card it came on with
the owners manual?

If you got no manual, have the dealer write down
how used the key less entry & how to change the code

the keyless entry code is on the module and in the module memory. A dealer can extract the code ( about $50). You can access the owner manual on line at motorcraft.com, pro center, tech info, owner manual. I have one for $7 plus postage. let me know. Also, look for a plastic credit card in teh glove box with the code on it. The module should be under the dash, driver side I think.
