Has anyone had success finding the keyless entry pad Ford supplied?

Fred, I would settle for finding the code to open the lock; not in blue box or elsewhere.

Wallace, once I had a 94 Airstream with the Ford Keyless entry and no code, a
friend told me that they put the override code on the back of the computer
(brain box) and sure enough, it was there. And with that code I could erase all
other codes and reprogram.

When I had trouble with the keypad coming loose, I thought it needed to be
replaced. After getting the Ford part number from Bluebird, I checked with the
local Ford dealer. It was from a Thunderbird from many years earlier. There
was only one in the USA in CA. I was able to brace the pad from the back and
get it working, so never needed one.
I think I still have the part number, if anybody needs it.

This company has two different styles of entry keypads, either with or without
remote keyfobs. Maybe they will fit.

Do you recall how and what you did to reinforce the back of the keypad successfully?

Fred,
If you can find the control box- and I've heard of it being behind the passenger
panel next to the seat and also behind the overhead in front of the passenger-
you should find the code for yours. The downside with the system listed by Rich
may be that it will not work if the vehicle is running. The addon Ford system
will not let you in if it's running. The factory installed Ford system will let
you in when it's running. I have not tried this on my bird, so I don't know if
it's set up the same as the factory installed system or the addon system. The
Ford addon system is essentially another keyfob stuck to the side of the
vehicle. The keyfobs don't work if the engine is running.

Hope this makes sense.

John

The Ford Part No. is:
e9sz14a626a
Description:
ACTU ASY-DR LK SW

On 08/21/07 there was 1 at McLeod Ford, Riverdale, CA 559-867-3549, they had it
in stock since 8/19/05. It is an obsolete part.

Any Ford dealer can check it on their computer system.

My trouble was that the switch was separating from the plastic housing on the
outside from keying in the numbers. I removed the screws on holding it in
without moving the switch. The screws are painted in and the housing is
probably plastic, so I couldn't move or remove the housing without breaking it
and ruining the paint. I then cut a small strip of hardwood, threaded it in
through the wires, placing it behind the switch.

Next, placed 2 stainless sheet metal screws from the outside long enough to pull
the wood against the back of the switch. I initially tightened them too tight
and the switch quit working. I gave myself the DIY cuss words, then slacked off
on the screws and it has worked since 9/07. I finished up with back silicone
resealing the switch from the outside. I have some cracks in the paint, but it
beats trying to replace the switch which is in a very small area, with a big
bunch of wires in a loose bundle.
