Option 2

1. Locate the Smart Junction Box in your Ford F-150. The box is normally located on the driver’s side, over the brake pedal. You may have to grab a flashlight and peel the trim back a bit to spot it.
2. Look for a bar coded sticker on the Smart Junction Box that has a 5 digit code or a 5 digit code plus a letter on it. That code is the keyless door entry code to your Ford F-150.
