tiaquessa Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Sometimes they're attached to the inside jam on the tailgate, or on a sticker under the hood. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xplorgee Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 The forgot the key code card in my manual on my first EDGE. The dealer agreed to hook it up to the computer and retrieved it for free. It was a fun hour at the dealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ask your local dealership to run OASIS on your VIN. That will tell you the selling dealership. Call them and ask if they have the keyless entry code on file with the deal jacket. (If you don't find it on a hinge, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengland Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Grey said it all. That is exactly what I would do also and that should definitely work. Your dealer can also look up the VIN and that will give Key Code and should give door unlock code also. A hospital is a big building with lots of patiences in it, and stop calling me Shirley. Good Luck we are all counting on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonedge+ Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Haven't looked for it on the Edge, but on my 97 Explorer, the code was on a sticker on a module behind the driver side rear cargo panel. There was a removable panel to get to the jack and it was barely visible once that panel was removed. Let us know if you find somewhere in the vehicle.

Lex Talionis Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 once you get this code - is it like the master code that always works but yet you can set your own code - or is it this code and this code for life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbf2530 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Hi billpinsc. :D According to the Owners Manual, if you do not know the "Factory Set" code, and have lost or do not have the "Wallet Card" with the "Factory Set" code, you need to go to your Dealer to have them recover the code. As to Lex's questions: Yes the "Factory Code" is a "Master Code". If you have the "Factory Set" master code, you can then set up to three other "Personal Codes". These "Personal Codes" can be erased or changed whenever you wish. However, the "Factory Set Code" is always still active and cannot be erased or changed. Good luck! :beerchug: Edited January 25, 2008 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a brand new vehicle - not used. When I called them they said I would have to bring it back to them in order to retrieve the number.

I would tend to think that most/all Dealers would not do this over the phone, for liability purposes. Could you imagine the legal liability they would face if they gave your "Factory Code" to a stranger, or someone trying to gain access illegally to your vehicle? Some members have supplied anecdotal evidence that their vehicles (other than the Edge) have the code hidden in various places on the vehicle (most commonly they will state they found it on the PCM box or the side of the radio), but I have not seen anyone verify that information for the Edge yet. I really think you will need to visit the Dealer. Sorry for the following questions, but are you sure you checked all of the paperwork enclosed in your new vehicle folder for the card? Checked inside your Owners Manual to be sure it was not stapled inside the cover? You do have the exterior keypad on your drivers door, correct? If you do have the keypad, and you don't have the card, once you have gone to the Dealer, it is a simple procedure for the Dealer to enter the proper information into the system to retrieve your original "Factory Set Code". Will you be taking it there for routine service (oil changes and such)? If yes, and it is a long drive, why not wait until your first needed service visit to get the code? Just a thought. Good luck! :beerchug: Edited February 16, 2008 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tink83 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Thanks - I was hoping to avoid a long delay in getting the code since I've had the car for almost two months already and it only has 700 miles on it so it may be a while before it goes in for routine maintenance. Anyway, happy ending here. While searching for a code sticker I found the actual code card, in a plastic bag taped to the module behind a panel just as it came from the factory I assume. Someone just dropped the ball somewhere along the way and didn't put it in the owner's manual book. I'm really glad I found it 'cause it would have bugged me all weekend! Now returning to our regular scheduled programming... :beerchug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
