If you need to reset your Ford F-150 door code without the factory code, you’ll have a couple of options. Your first option is to locate your owner’s wallet card in the glove compartment. If you no longer have access to the informational card, you can try to obtain a factory code with an online generator. Your final option would be to reach out to your Ford dealership to obtain a new one.
