2004 Freestar Keypad Programing - 11/19/2007 10:00:14 AM    2004freestarmatt   Posts: 8 Score: 0 Joined: 11/19/2007 Status: offline I just purchased a 2004 Freestar with the keyless entry keypad on the drivers door.  How do I find the code to use this keypad?  Also, I only got one key with the van and want to program more keys.  I found blank keys on ebay.  They say you need two keys to program new keys or take it to the dealer.  Does anyone know how to program new keys with only one original key?  Thanks, Post #: 1

Best to check with the selling dealer. (in reply to 2004freestarmatt) Post #: 2

Did you get the pouch with the owners manual in it?  If you did, is there a white credit card size card in it?  If so, there should be a 5 didit number printed on it.  That should be the key code. < Message edited by Use Common Sense -- 12/4/2007 10:01:15 AM > _____________________________ 2004 Freestar Limited 4.2 V6 w/Water Injection & Iridium plugs 2008 Mercury Sable 3.5 V6 w/Opened Air Box AMSOIL Lubricants and Filters in everything "Have a good day, and a better one tomorrow" (in reply to 2004freestarmatt) Post #: 4

Another large computer is located under the dash on the left side of and under the steering wheel and is called the smart junction box (SJB) Hope this helps. (in reply to 2004freestarmatt) Post #: 5

The self programming requires two keys, and the ford dealer can also lift the keypad code from the computer as well, not cheap but worth it....... _____________________________ Tom 2006 Freestar SEL 4.2L F/Ld 2002 Ranger Edge 3.0L extd 2005 Jayco 806 P/U trailer - eaten by mice winter 2008 (in reply to Jakers) Post #: 6
