slip a coat hanger down the door. Make a "J" about 2" from the stem to the looped end. Stick in down with the loop facing the hood. Push in around 6-7", turn the J towards you, pull up.

jon, that keyless entry code may be in the owners manual or Ford normally puts a tag somewhere...I know on the cars its in the trunk under the package tray or on the trunk lid....someone here on the site might know where the tag on the Expedition is...also below is a link to a guy who I have bought several keys and remotes from..his name is Mariusz and he is the most reasonable on keys, thobs and instructions...he even sends a mapquest of local locksmiths around your house to get the key cut....God, stay away from the dealer...they will rip you off...hope this helps..

I found the factory code on a black box underneath the dash, passenger side, up against the fender wall (a little difficult to see because it's up there a little way).

The five digit code, plus "1", plus new code will get you set-up.

I locked myself out just last week. Called my friend to bring my spares. 30mins later I found the keys sitting on the sink in the store bathroom.

I think I'm going to buy one of those magnetic key box holders to place my spares under the truck.

I just have a regular key in my wallet in the coin pocket. Just have a cheap one cut, does not have to be a transponder key. Just something to open the door. Put it in your wallet, check book, purse, makeup pouch, whatever. I usually always have my wallet anyway.

But I only use my remote to lock my truck. So even then it would be hard to lock myself out. But you never know. And I do not have a keypad, but I am looking at the RF Keypads to put one on my Expy. I use it for work sometimes. And I just leave the key in the ignition the entire shift, take the remote off and hook it to my gun belt, and use that to lock and unlock the doors.

I also only have one transponder key.
