I have locked my keys in my 1999 mercury mountaineer and cannot remember my key less entry code. is there any way to look up the original code using the VIN number
For safety reasons, only a dealer can get your key code from Ford and make you a key. You will need proof of ownership and your VIN number and ID. 1-800-241-3673.
You can try calling Ford Roadside Assistance. They may be abe to help.
Sometimes, you can take a long, thin screwdriver and lift up the door handle. Slide the screwdriver in the slot under the handle. Move around till you see the lock button move and try to pry it up. Also, local police might help with a slim jim.
No you can not retrieve the keyless entry code with the vin number. However you may be able to retrieve the actual key code and have a blank cut. The only problem is your vehicle is a 98 model and that is the cut off on how far back ford goes so yours may or may not be avaliable. You can have your local dealer retrieve this but they would have to have a picture ID and proof of ownership.
The only other option is to have someone use a jocklock to get it open, it is pretty easy to do on this vehicle.
Yes the Dealer can unlock your Mountaineer using the VIN# to retrieve the door code and can also cut a new door key for you too.
You'll need the Vin# and prof of ownership to the Mountaineer, such as the bill of sale ect:
Good luck and hope this helps.
