Thank you. It worked on my 2017 escape SE. Followed your link to get the Factory Code. It was quite easy to take read the factory code using a cell phone, without removing the glove box.
Thanks for these Escape posts! The key one worked for me. Note: on my 2013 Escape, there was a wire bundle that made it pretty much impossible to get the code without pulling the glovebox. And the glovebox method worked perfectly. Thx!!
@@jaguiar45 Hah ok that makes more sense :) I was like- WOAH i didn't think there was a 2021 Escape out on the market yet! Thanks for confirming it's still legit at this time - appreciate it!
I think that people need to be aware that you must slide your finger down the keypad before entering the code. I was trying to put in the code just off too but it’s wasn’t working until I saw this video saw you slide your finger down the numbers.
Hi Ronald- nice! I've always wanted to drive one of those! If it's an interceptor, my GUESS would be no, because it is a bit more of a "bell and whistle" feature that the police fleet vehicles probably wouldn't care for as they're pretty utilitarian, BUT I do know that my keypad lights up when I press my fob to unlock or lock the vehicle remotely. So, if you haven't seen it at this point when using your key fob to lock/unlock, I'm thinking it isn't equipped with this. BUT YOU DO HAVE A BADASS ENGINE IN THAT PUPPY! Enjoy it :)
How To Escape: DIY, Tips, and Reviews So I have the 2014 SE 2.0. I actually have a tag on both sides, passenger and driver the the driver side number is the correct one for me.
I had similar issue. Just narrowed it down to an issue with the 1-2 button not working correctly. Tested a few things, then tried pressing against the panel on the right side of the numbers to help see if it would make better contact internally, and yup. After 2 years, I press with one hand and can enter my code without fail. Maybe this will help someone else
What if you want to program in 34343? Not 33333... How does the keypad know if your pushing the 4 or the 3? or are you not able to use both numbers of the same pad unless you've hit a different pad between like 35463.. I'm confused???
So how do you click a 2 or a 9? If every button has 2 numbers, and i want to be the number 2 as the code, do i press that button twice? But if thats the case how did you press 3 so many times in a row without it becoming a 4
FOR THE ONE WITH THE 2013 ESCAPE I GOT A 2018 I LOOKED UP THERE MOVE ONE WIRE THERE IS THE CODE . I THINK ONE LATER YEARS IT WILL BE NO WIRES IN THE WAY ?
What if you don't have the factory code? I just got one used and it's not in the manual. And I only got 1key. So I can't do that trick to find your code
Hey there- if you don't have the factory code and you have a '13-'19 Escape, you can find the code located on a sticker on the BCM, which is a fuse/connector/computer box located in the passenger front footwell behind the glovebox. We did a video on finding the code and it doesn't have anything to do with only having one key so you should be good to go there - hope this helps! Video tutorial link is here: czcams.com/video/f_SsIgSQmYI/video.htmlsi=lVloNEGNn7dLlvSX
We have a video on the channel to find the number located on a sticker behind your glove box on the front passenger side- you can reach up with your phone to take a picture of it or take the glove box off which isn't too bad- about 20 min of your time
Thanks for the feedback, Roberto! If just one light/ number set does not work, it's likely the module that will need replacing if that's possible. I don't think that the individual LED can be serviced, but I could be wrong. Let me do some digging for you and see what I can find.
I have a Ford Fusion 2020 hybrid and My factory code has the same two repeating number 09 in the 5 digit code. It work when trying to reset it, any function that’s needs the factory code, it won’t accept the factory code on the my sync3 touch screen under key code. I also never got a second key fob when I bought it, they just gave me one key fob. How do I fix this?
What if I don’t have my factory code and no one could tell me what it was when I bought it from a used dealership. Not anywhere written in the manual and I’d rather not get charger 100 bucks by Ford to just plug it in and tell me any suggestions?
Hi and thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately you can not erase the original code as it is the factory reset/default in case the vehicle has a new owner or in case you may accidentally forget your new code
When I connect my phone to SYNC on my 2014 Ford Escape I can't hear my incoming or outgoing calls, radio and I can't input my navigation directions. Don't know what I need to do to correct the issue?? I get no sound from anything
Hi Carole- understood. The factory reset code is printed on a sticker on a module behind the glove box. It is not hard to remove the box or you can see if you can sneak your phone up and snap a pic of the sticker with your camera phone
As far as I know you can not disable the factory code :/ it only erases the personal code. The factory code is the "key" for a reseller or yourself to allow a new personal code but its permanent unfortunately
Unfortunately no- but it is listed on a label stuck on the fuse box in the passenger footwell. We have a video on finding it if you want to see it- its a reach upwards but you can do it with your phone or take out the glove box which is a bit easier.
Hi David- sorry for the delay- are you still having this issue? Is it completely out, as in it won't light up at all? Or does it light up and then remain unresponsive?

Hey there David- sorry you're in that pickle.

I feel like there is one more place I've heard it being shown but I'm not sure its accessible from the outside. I'll do some digging and get back to you.
I have a 2005 ford five hundred and this worked, but it still unlocks my car with the factory code too, I thought once I reset it to my own personal code It would no longer work with the one it originally came with, I unfortunately shared my code with someone I no longer trust and trying to just set it to my new code and delete the old one, is that possible? Thank you!!
Hi Fabi, I'm not sure that the car ever forgets the factory code as it's the base / default code to reprogram the car to your personal use. I hear you on wanting it to be more secure, but I don't think the car can ever have something to go back to if it were to be sold/passed on to somebody else other than yourself- Sorry- I know it's not really the answer you were looking for, but it's intended as a failsafe in case you forget your personal code or need to set a new one. Thanks for checking out the channel and best of luck with your 500! Glad you were at least able to add another code with this vid!
Yairaliz Acevedo hi Yairaliz, thanks for watching and for the question- I cannot vouch for fusions directly, but with the escape, it the factory code is displayed on a sticker way up underneath the dash on the front passenger side. With the escape, you go into the foot well and look up- maybe look for something similar for your fusion?
It should be the same protocol across all Ford vehicles with this illuminated touch number pad :) Don't see a reason why it would be any different. It may be different if you have the physical rubber buttons
If you don't have the factory code, you can locate it behind the glove box in the front passenger footwell. We have a video on it here: czcams.com/video/f_SsIgSQmYI/video.html
Unfortunately no, not that I know of- it seems the factory code always exists as a fallback. So you'll always have 2 codes- your own, and the factory code. Just keep the factory code secret if you can :)
I have a 2016 escape. I found the factory code, and used your procedure for erasing personal codes, but the prior owners personal code is not erasing. I wonder if it is because the personal code is not code #1; i.e. another code number? If that is the case how do I erase?
I try and try, but it won't do my new #'s. Are the doors to be locked or unlocked to start this process? PS, the manufacturer code works fine. and cars in cool garage. It seems to work IF I have my keyfob in my pocket.
Hi Barb, thanks for asking- I'm not sure if the fob in close proximity is a factor or not- my Escape requires the normal key. I also don't think that the doors need to be locked or unlocked- check this out: owner.ford.com/how-tos/vehicle-features/locks-and-security/how-to-program-your-keyless-entry-keypad.html It's the Ford recommended procedure and specifically calls out the time sensitivity when entering your numbers. Please let me know if you still have difficulty after this :) Thanks for watching the channel!
Hi Roberto- yes! The factory sends a master override code which will allow you to overrite an old code. This can be found either in a card that should be in your manual. If the card is not there, you can locate your factory key code by going under the glove box. Check out these two videos on just that: Finding the code: czcams.com/video/f_SsIgSQmYI/video.html If you want to remove the glovebox to get to it more easily: czcams.com/video/cAlO_7sZT4c/video.html Hope this helps and thanks for checking out the channel! Subscribe for more videos to come!
I used the factory reset code process, many times, but the prior owners code does not erase; I am using the factory code I read off the fuse panel and confirmed that code works to open.
Hmm- sorry for the lack of success and thanks for posting- How far have you gotten in the sequence? Have you had success entering with the factory code?
Hi Kim! Unfortunately no- it is permanent with your vehicle. Consider it an ultimate fallback option if you forget your personal code- thats why the factory code is on the little card with your manual. IF you don't have the card, or need the factory code, its located behind your glove compartment in the front passenger footwell! There's a video on our channel about locating your factory code.
Pleaaaas My taurus 2015 keapad be opened by any five digits I go to setting to erase and add new 5 digits after i tried it keeps opened by any 5 digits which is make me affraid to Be stolen
It should all be the same procedure but I can't guarantee the factory code will be the same. I would THINK that the code is stored in the computer in the cabin. However, I haven't ever swapped a door and verified. If you already have the door and your factory code for your vehicle it wouldn't hurt to try! The code on your vehicle is also located behind the glove box in the passenger footwell if you need it!
Hi Tracy! There are other ways to find out! Check out this video here- hope it helps :) you can also remove the glove box to see it better and we have a video for that too:) please let me know if you have any other questions czcams.com/video/f_SsIgSQmYI/video.html
@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews oh yes, I watched this one yesterday 😊 thanks for replying. I'm not nimble enough to do this one lol... I don't know why the owners manual didn't come with my escape, maybe I'll call the dealership 👍
@@t.lee.p9182 cool! Glad you saw it. The code is actually in a wallet sized card that is separate from the manual but if the manual is not present then the card is less likely to be as well :P I wish you the best of luck!
Hi Marcus, the code is also located behind the glove box in the passenger side footwell- its a tad difficult to get to but its there! Check out this video here and let me know if you have any more questions:) czcams.com/video/f_SsIgSQmYI/video.html
How can you make it that the alarm wont go off when you use the actual key? I hate it when I get in the car with just the key. It's like a bomb, a buzzer giving me 10 seconds to put key in ignition before the actual alarm goes off. It's stupid.
@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews When I uses the keypad on the door or the key fob it doesn’t go off. However if I manually use the key to unlock the door. A small buzzer ding goes off inside the car and after around ten seconds if the key is not in the ignition the car alarm wil go off. I wish I could disable this system since I like manually opening the door. Unsure if you know a solution. Thank you!
@@42luke93 That's odd- I've never heard that before- it sounds really frustrating to be honest- do you have an aftermarket / replaced key by chance? Do you know if there is an aftermarket security system in your Escape? What year and trim is it?
Good question- I think so. I usually swipe my hand down it once just to make sure it's on and ready to receive your input- you're right about it being a bit fickle sometimes. I've found that it's a lot less responsive in heat as well - especially as a black material, it can get pretty toasty!
How to enter a keyless code if it’s 16559 ??? After pressing the 1-2 button do you have to press the 5-6 button 3 times and then to press the 9-0 button🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿
Tina Forbes ugh- I'm sorry that's got to be frustrating- So you WERE able to find your factory code then? Did you happen to try out in the heat of the day? Our FE keypad will get wacked out if it heats up in the sun... just a thought... Did you get it to the point of the factory code working to unlock the doors? before even trying to reprogram?

Hi @Vahe, Apologies for the late reply. Sorry you're having trouble there... I wasn't aware that you could do that with both keys- how does that work? Do you put in one key after the other and then the code shows up on your dash? I know many cars in the US have the card with the code printed on it... Have you figured it out since posting here?
I don’t have the code it was changed to but I have factory code. When I do the steps to erase all codes and enter a new one nuthin happens. Any ideas I have a 2011 sel Factory Code is 67583
Unfortunately the factory code never goes away- thats your default code to use to erase a personal code- consider it a fallback. Not the best idea, but I get what Ford was trying to do... sorry I can't help you erase the old one. Wish I could

Will it work with ford mondeo 2011 2.2 200ps
It should be the same protocol across all Ford vehicles with this illuminated touch number pad :) Don't see a reason why it would be any different. It may be different if you have the physical rubber buttons
What is you don't have the Factory code
If you don't have the factory code, you can locate it behind the glove box in the front passenger footwell. We have a video on it here: czcams.com/video/f_SsIgSQmYI/video.html
Can you completely clear the factory code and just use my own code?
Unfortunately no, not that I know of- it seems the factory code always exists as a fallback. So you'll always have 2 codes- your own, and the factory code. Just keep the factory code secret if you can :)
Yeah that sucks. I want to erase the factory code and put in my own code. So now I have 2 codes that unlock my door 🤦♂️🤦♂️
thanx
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
I have a 2016 escape. I found the factory code, and used your procedure for erasing personal codes, but the prior owners personal code is not erasing. I wonder if it is because the personal code is not code #1; i.e. another code number? If that is the case how do I erase?
I try and try, but it won't do my new #'s. Are the doors to be locked or unlocked to start this process? PS, the manufacturer code works fine. and cars in cool garage. It seems to work IF I have my keyfob in my pocket.
Hi Barb, thanks for asking- I'm not sure if the fob in close proximity is a factor or not- my Escape requires the normal key. I also don't think that the doors need to be locked or unlocked- check this out: owner.ford.com/how-tos/vehicle-features/locks-and-security/how-to-program-your-keyless-entry-keypad.html It's the Ford recommended procedure and specifically calls out the time sensitivity when entering your numbers. Please let me know if you still have difficulty after this :) Thanks for watching the channel!
I bought mine used and i think the last owner put a code in it i can still reset the code if i dont know the last owner code?
Hi Roberto- yes! The factory sends a master override code which will allow you to overrite an old code. This can be found either in a card that should be in your manual. If the card is not there, you can locate your factory key code by going under the glove box. Check out these two videos on just that:

How To Escape: DIY, Tips, and Reviews i already got the code but still cant do it
I used the factory reset code process, many times, but the prior owners code does not erase; I am using the factory code I read off the fuse panel and confirmed that code works to open.
Doesn’t work 2013 escape titanium
Hmm- sorry for the lack of success and thanks for posting- How far have you gotten in the sequence? Have you had success entering with the factory code?
I forgot the factory code , how can i reset the code on the door ?
I was goning to ask the same thing
Sure- the factory code is also located behind the glove box on a sticker- check out our channel for "LOCATING YOUR FACTORY KEYCODE"
Can you delete the factory code?
Hi Kim! Unfortunately no- it is permanent with your vehicle. Consider it an ultimate fallback option if you forget your personal code- thats why the factory code is on the little card with your manual. IF you don't have the card, or need the factory code, its located behind your glove compartment in the front passenger footwell! There's a video on our channel about locating your factory code.
Pleaaaas
My taurus 2015 keapad be opened by any five digits
I go to setting to erase and add new 5 digits after i tried it keeps opened by any 5 digits which is make me affraid to Be stolen
Wow- ANY digit combination opens the door? I have never seen that before. I'll see if anyone else has been having that issue.
Thanks for letting me know that on the internet 🗝😈
Only if your fob is on you though right? Leave your fob in the house and then go try ... i bet then it don't unlock with just any code
If you erase how do you set new code
Hi, will this procedure work if I change the door ?
I had to change it from yard after an accident
It should all be the same procedure but I can't guarantee the factory code will be the same. I would THINK that the code is stored in the computer in the cabin. However, I haven't ever swapped a door and verified. If you already have the door and your factory code for your vehicle it wouldn't hurt to try! The code on your vehicle is also located behind the glove box in the passenger footwell if you need it!
I THINK YOU SHOULD BE GLAD TO OWN ONE ?
What if I don't know the factory code
Hi Tracy! There are other ways to find out! Check out this video here- hope it helps :) you can also remove the glove box to see it better and we have a video for that too:) please let me know if you have any other questions czcams.com/video/f_SsIgSQmYI/video.html
@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews oh yes, I watched this one yesterday 😊 thanks for replying. I'm not nimble enough to do this one lol... I don't know why the owners manual didn't come with my escape, maybe I'll call the dealership 👍
@@t.lee.p9182 cool! Glad you saw it. The code is actually in a wallet sized card that is separate from the manual but if the manual is not present then the card is less likely to be as well :P I wish you the best of luck!
How do you find the factory code I dont have the card with the code on it
Hi Marcus, the code is also located behind the glove box in the passenger side footwell- its a tad difficult to get to but its there! Check out this video here and let me know if you have any more questions:) czcams.com/video/f_SsIgSQmYI/video.html
How can you make it that the alarm wont go off when you use the actual key? I hate it when I get in the car with just the key. It's like a bomb, a buzzer giving me 10 seconds to put key in ignition before the actual alarm goes off. It's stupid.
Woah! I dont think I've encountered that before- has it always done that? So do you unlock it remotely with the key and it just starts going off???
@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews
When I uses the keypad on the door or the key fob it doesn’t go off.
However if I manually use the key to unlock the door. A small buzzer ding goes off inside the car and after around ten seconds if the key is not in the ignition the car alarm wil go off.
I wish I could disable this system since I like manually opening the door. Unsure if you know a solution. Thank you!
@@42luke93 That's odd- I've never heard that before- it sounds really frustrating to be honest- do you have an aftermarket / replaced key by chance? Do you know if there is an aftermarket security system in your Escape? What year and trim is it?
Ford Fusion SE 2015 model kapı kilidini bilmiyorum yardım edin..
Question: do you have to illuminate the keypad before entering your code to unlock? The keypad is difficult to see in certain lighting.
Good question- I think so. I usually swipe my hand down it once just to make sure it's on and ready to receive your input- you're right about it being a bit fickle sometimes. I've found that it's a lot less responsive in heat as well - especially as a black material, it can get pretty toasty!
I took a video of mine with my iPhone.
So factory code can't be erased bc its used to reset custom passwords. Am i correct? Factory password always works
Correct- factory code is a permanent fall back in case you forget your code or the car is resold. One factory code, one customizable code
How to enter a keyless code if it’s 16559 ??? After pressing the 1-2 button do you have to press the 5-6 button 3 times and then to press the 9-0 button🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿
Yes exactly! And being so honest. It’s kinda weird but yes.
I did it like 20 times and nothing
Tina Forbes ugh- I'm sorry that's got to be frustrating-
So you WERE able to find your factory code then?
Did you happen to try out in the heat of the day? Our FE keypad will get wacked out if it heats up in the sun... just a thought...
Did you get it to the point of the factory code working to unlock the doors? before even trying to reprogram?
How To Escape: DIY, Tips, and Reviews haha ok don't judge but the letter was an L that kind of looked like a 7 so I was reading it wrong but I got it and now I am like keyless like what 😋 thank u for all ur help
Tina Forbes EXCELLENT!!! glad to hear it!
Gave an ex my factory code. I wish I could change that one. I didn't know I could create personal codes
Isnt working out for me. Got the factory code from turning on and off the ignition with both keys but doesnt seem to work
Hi @Vahe, Apologies for the late reply. Sorry you're having trouble there... I wasn't aware that you could do that with both keys- how does that work? Do you put in one key after the other and then the code shows up on your dash? I know many cars in the US have the card with the code printed on it... Have you figured it out since posting here?
Vahe Ghazarian c
The erase didn't work
I THINK FORD MAKED THE FIRST SMART VECH. YOU HAVE TO LEARM IT ?
I don’t have the code it was changed to but I have factory code. When I do the steps to erase all codes and enter a new one nuthin happens. Any ideas I have a 2011 sel

QthAgr8 i have a 2012 and i don’t know if is the same way to reset the code I need help too

Seriously tell me bout it. Have yph figured out any other option.
I was thinking what if autozone plugs in there CP on it and is able to tell us the factory number so we could re program bruh???
@@savageangel5058 your factory code will be inside the fuse box located on the passenger side under the glove box. It's on a white sticker.
Check it out here like @trunk says- it's behind the glove box: czcams.com/video/f_SsIgSQmYI/video.html

They made my factory code 13579. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ literally just press each button and my fuckin car opens. How do you get rid of the factory code???
Unfortunately the factory code never goes away- thats your default code to use to erase a personal code- consider it a fallback. Not the best idea, but I get what Ford was trying to do... sorry I can't help you erase the old one. Wish I could
