New Car ... New Questions

[entropy_46]

Okay... here's a question and a half for you.

I just bought a '95 ATX, but when I picked it up, I learned a few things. Some of them are a bit unfortunate (but I still have some time left on my warranty). I did not recieve any key or key fob other than the ignition key (and obviously front door locks). This car appears to have EVERY option, so I'm assuming it also had keyless entry. Here's where the questions start.

1. How could I go about getting another key for my trunk (and yes, as luck would have it, the interior release lever is locked)?

2. Is there any way to see if my car had keyless entry, and if it did, can I get a key fob from Ford for remote entry?

3. Is there any way in which I could find out what the proper key sequence is on my door key pad for entry and whatever else?

4. Is there any way to get the "key" to the locking nut on the rims? (Yup, this is missing too.)

This is all I can think of right at the moment. Thanks for your time.

Either change the tumbler in the deck lid or have a locksmith make you a key. Keep in mind that the inside lock beside the driver's door also takes this key so if you change the tumbler you'll need to change this one also. Having a key made would solve both problems.

2. Is there any way to see if my car had keyless entry, and if it did, can I get a key fob from Ford for remote entry?

If you have keyless entry you'll have the pad on the door. Fobs are available on eBay and are very simple to program. You can also change the program on the car itself if you so choose.

3. Is there any way in which I could find out what the proper key sequence is on my door key pad for entry and whatever else?

The keyless entry codes are store in 3 places on your car. One is under the hood which is probably illegible by now. One is behind your glove box on the blower motor I believe and the last one is inside your trunk where the factory amp is mounted.

4. Is there any way to get the "key" to the locking nut on the rims? (Yup, this is missing too.)

You can get one of these either through Ford, or some auto parts stores may carry one, or a salvage yard. Get one quickly though...Murphy's law don't ya know... wink

I had the someof the same problems. I only recieved one key. The keyless entry code should be on a white sticker in the trunk, either on the lid of the trunk or on the black box on the far left side of the trunk. My sticker was torn, so I only had the first 2 digits. Somehow on the FIRST try I figured it out!!!! Maybe I am psychic shrug

My interior lever was also locked, I took off the black panel covering it by removing the two screws that hold it in place (one is black plastic (on top) , one is metal (front side of it))Once the cover is off, you can manually unlock the lever by sticking a flathead screwdriver in there and pushing the metal lock down. This worked for me and it should work for you. I dont think you said what yearur ride was, mine is a 93.

Good luck man, and enjoy ur SHO!!! thumbs_u

hello glad to hear you got a sho there very good cars for the key pad there should be a 5 digit code to open the driver door in the trunk on the left side against the seat is a black box there should be a 5# code if you push that code in it will unlock the driver door and if you hit 3/4 it will unlock all the other doors and if you hit 5/6 it will open your trunk and if you hit 3/4 and 5/6 at the same time it will lock the doors if there is no #'s on it you can take the box apart and look at the resistors and see the code or re soder it and make your own factory code www.shotimes.com has a break down how to do this have fun with your new car

If you had got the car from a ford dealer , or where ever it really doesnt matter . goto a ford dealer present them with the title and vin # and they can order you a brand new key ..
But if you got this from a ford dealer they should do it for free...I have to do the same thing i keep forgetting ..
i also only have one key . my car was a repo got a great deal you guys would **** to have this car for the price i got it at .. only thing its gonna need is a clutch sometime in the summer but i have changed many of those in my 89 and 91 so nothin new to me. A friend of my uncle's repos cars and happen to repo this sho .. fell in love with it at first site... heh. well got the car for $2,250 honest to god nothing wrong with it .. so far all i did is change the rear brakes and alternator belt.. thumbs_u
