Help finding the factory SecuriCode / factory door code
1 - 10 of 10 Posts
You can add codes from the screen, but I think it asks for that master code. Ford used to put it on a sticker elsewhere in the truck, but I'm not aware of where.
From the factory it is taped in the glove box under the rubber mat - you might look there. Some dealers store them in their lock box with the keys. They should have it.
Some of the programming tools like FDRS might be able to find it as well, not certain about that.

There used to be a way with actual keys…not sure how it would work with keyless go…
These are those steps…
Need both keys
Insert Key 1 into ignition and turn on (don’t start). Wait for everything to settle.
Turn off
Repeat with Key 2.
After a few seconds code will display on dash.
Again not sure if there is a method like that for these trucks but might be worth a shot.
The same technique used in 2015+ F-150s to get rid of the seatbelt reminder works in the Lightning so I can’t imagine this wouldn’t to some degree.

Go back to the dealer and find out where they put your code. They are responsible for giving you the code if they lost the card.
I really didn't want to deal with the dealership after multiple bad experiences... but I was able to find TWO different options for obtaining the factory code... and I verified that BOTH of these methods work on Lightning.
OPTION 1- Using both keys and inserting under the rubber flap of the cupholder as shown here:
OPTION 2- If you don't have both keys, this method also works but requires removing a few trim panels. Unfortunately, I already used this method before I found the super easy method in Option 1. The BCM is pretty hard to read, but with some careful maneuvering of a flashlight and zoomed in phone camera, you can complete this in 5-10 minutes.

Correct - look under the mat in that compartment - they get taped under there. Some dealers may remove them, but that is where it should be.
