Question:

I recently bought a used 1997 Explorer XLT with remote keyless entry (keypad), but I don’t have the code for it.  I’ve read on Expeditions that the factory code is labeled on the ‘Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) Module’, but I can’t locate it.  Does anyone know where this is located?

Response:

Open the rear hatch and inside, open the jack storage compartment on the left side. Use a flashlight and look forward.  On top of the wheel well is a box with a paper tag on it.  The code is in bold numbers and is 5 digits. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I recently bought a used 1997 Explorer XLT with remote keyless entry > (keypad), but I don’t have the code for it.  I’ve read on Expeditions that > the factory code is labeled on the ‘Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) > Module’, but I can’t locate it.  Does anyone know where this is located?

Response:

Check in the back luggage compartment in the side compartment where the jack is stored.  That’s where my dealer looked to find the number.
