The battery went dead while SUV was stored in garage for an extended period of time. When battery was recharged the keyless entry pad would not work. Purchased the car second hand so I did not have the original factory set code which is required to re-program. Dealer charged me $175.00 but they could not fix it. After seaching the internet I found out where the factory code was located and I followed all of the instructions for re-setting it. Still won't work. I really miss having access to the Keypad. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This failure is obviously linked to other failures we are experiencing in the electrical system. Ford should take responsibility!

I had never used it anyways but i went to Ford to get the code in case i did lock myself out of my car one day and they told me the whole system was broken and needed replaced.

The battery went dead one day and I charged it back up and since the keyless entry pad as well as the remote entry quit working. I had the battery checked and it was fine and I checked the manual for a possible bad fuse but apparently there is not a fuse for that. an annoying problem that will be too much to fix.

It seems like the engineer of these electronic components are inferior.

This vehicle's exterior keyless entry has never worked. The dealership said to fix it I would have to come up with 600.00. Yea right.

The 1/2 button suddenly quit working. It was like 8am on a Saturday morning. I had taken my son to tball practice and purposefully locked my keys in the Explorer so I wouldn't lose them. I ended up having to call and wake the wife up so her and my daughter could come and open it up for me.

my keyless entry stopped working out of the blue. i have 65,000 miles on the piece of s#%$. not only did stop working my interior light wont shut off and i have to disconnect the battery so i wont kill it. i kept trying to use the entry pad and when it did work (only once) only the back doors locked. i hope its not expensive to fix i am so mad because i have to drive it to work.

SUPER FRUSTRATING!!!!! My keypad just stopped working one day out of the blue. Plus, both sets of keys also happened to be inside. So, really the cost to fix the stupid thing was $445 if you count the cost of the locksmith service. Supposedly the wiring inside my door was messed up and two loose wires were shorting out. To top it all off, the wiring also affects the key fobs. Mine were still working, but heads up if you have this problem and just want to ignore it - your fobs might stop as well. I could have saved some money if the dealership had looked at the wiring first rather than just ordering a new key pad, so be sure your mechanic checks the wiring in the door before ordering a random part.

Really! So I only have 1 key. It will cost an arm and a leg to purchase another key. Keypad doesnt accept the code and m up the creek if I lose my ONE key!?
Why isnt additional keys available for verified owners?
Just sayin"
