1992 taurus keyless codes

[snorvell69]

Hi all;

I searched the forum and did not find the answer I am looking for so here goes.

My husband and I just purchased a 1992 taurus with a keyless entry pad on the drivers door. In our owners manual it told us where to locate the codes for this but they were gone from the areas we were told to look. We took it to our ford dealer and they could not find the codes on the computer. How do we find our codes and how do we go about replacing our code to one we can remember?

Also the person that had the car before us changed the ignition switch and we don't have any keys to open our trunk, and doors. We believe these should be the same key. How do we go about getting replacement keys for this?

Thank you for your help in these matters;

You checked for the wallet card, the owner warranty card, the underside of the trunk lid and on the control module in the trunk? The code should at least be on the underside of the trunk or the control module. If not, get a control module from a junk yard that still has the factory number on it.

You can change the code (once your know the factory code) by entering the factory code, pressing the 1/2 button within 5 seconds, then entering your own code, with no more than 5 seconds passing between each number.

The ignition and doors are the same key. The trunk and glove box are the same key. It's no surprise that the ignition key does not operate the doors. The way Ford codes their keys, it confuses the simple mind, and most dealers end up cutting the door or ignition code in the reverse order! Many owners have had to go to a locksmith to straighten it all out...

...which is where I suggest you go. A locksmith may be able to figure out the code for your door locks and cut some proper keys. In the meantime, you might want to check with the original owner to see if he/she has some of the old keys laying around. They will have the proper cuts for the door locks, and a locksmith can use the two keys and about $10-15 of your dollars to make a set of keys that operate both the doors and the ignition. They may also be able to determine the correct code for your trunk/glovebox locks.
