Hey guys,

This 04 picked up a couple of months ago has a keypad on the drivers door. IS it an add on or was it factory?(I have key fob)
If it is factory anyone know where the master code would be?

 

I don't think it is a "Factory" option on Rangers but it was a Dealer Option and it is basically a wireless fob mounted on the door
So it has a battery like a fob does, and it has a code number that activates unlock, or lock, like pushing unlock button on the fob

Accessory add-on page seen here: https://accessories.ford.com/actuator-asy.html
Ford Dealer should be able to tell you more about it
I don't have that info

You would program it to the keyless entry system the same as adding a fob, but would need the code numbers to do that
And batteries are most likely dead after 14 years, so they would need to be changed

 

Ok, I put one of those on my wifes fusion and my other 04 ranger. It just looks different than them, maybe it is an earlier version

 

Could be a special order, but have never seen that on Rangers, just Explorers

And there are non-Ford keypads that can be added to any model vehicle, they have their own receiver inside that activates the door locks

 

Well, it is a factory keypad. I went to rip it off today and it has the hole in the door.

So, does anyone have any suggestions where to look for the master code?

 

someone must have wired a factory style one in then. Rangers never came with the door keypad.

 

Any idea how I could get the code then?

 

The Keypad code was on the control module for the keypad
Since Rangers never had that type not sure where you would look for it.

Google: 2004 ford ranger RAP module location

 

Explorers had them in a few different places, but on a Ranger it would probably be behind a kick panel or behind the passenger air bag/glove box area.

 

My bad. Just got poking and prodding some more. It is just a double sided tape on unit. When I first started prying I must have saw break in the tape and it looked like a hole in the door

Carry on!!!

 

I once spent $400 to buy a set of factory 1977-1981 F-Series/Bronco slotted mags because I wanted my 1980 F150 to be 100% original in appearance. Probably the same reason.

 

Thanks all for the information. I will look further into it and see what I can figure out.

 

But a Ranger hardwired keyless entry keypad wouldn't be Original since they were never original for Rangers, lol
