Factory Door Unlock Code?

[ChuckUK]

To be clear, your used Mach-E should have a factory reset done on it before using it. This clears all codes except factory code, removes access to the vehicle by the prior owner via FordPass, etc. Then, you use the factory code to program your own codes if you want.

Note that the factory code cannot be changed. If a prior owner has it, and knew where the vehicle was, they could access it. By doing the reset, you eliminate their ability to find the vehicle.

I would make the dealership delete the missing fob, and program a 2nd fob for you, as part of the purchase.

Yes, I did a factory reset myself. The dealers just deleted the home address from the satnav; they have no idea what they are doing. Initially, I had the previous owners address in the home charging location, which is a breach of European GDPR laws. I have suggested to them that they may want to think about this in future but this lack of knowledge is systemic in the industry. I have a friend who has sold his EV, not a Mach-e, and he can still track and unlock the vehicle.

Then you shouldn't have had to clear any codes after doing the reset.

Yes, but I just hit clear first just as a precaution.

Yes, if you want to enter 15724 you would press 1/2, 5/6, 7/8, 1/2, 3/4.

The Keypad code is located on a sticker on your BCM. It will be a 7 digit code. The BCM is the module that is in the footwell on the passenger side with the fuses.

Hi, thank you for the code location, I found mine as well, and there are seven figures on a US vehicle!
The problem is that the system is asking for five figures code, which are? First five or the last five?

Many thanks for your kindly help!

Last 5 iirc. Try it once.

Great. Thank you!

Just tried now, first 5 figures from the “keycode” ECU label were ok.

Tip - when you buy a Ford with a code, store it your phone directory.

2nd Tip - you can add your own code. One that you can remember. Or, store it in your phone directory.

3rd Tip - put the little card in a safe place in your home, like where you filed your purchase paperwork...

ALL great tips .A member posted a while ago that they were in an accident and their phone turned up missing ( jammed under the seat I believe ) so they couldn't call anyone because no one remembers phone numbers anymore so they carry a little cheat card in their wallet with important numbers on it now . That is also a great tip which I do now . Entry code could go on that card too ....just in case
