Reset door code 1998 Ford Explorer?

There's no door code to reset on a 1998 Ford Explorer. Ford Explorers of that era use a key to unlock the doors. If you're having trouble with your doors, the problem likely lies elsewhere:

* Locked out: Try your spare key. If you don't have a spare, you'll need a locksmith or a dealership to help you regain access.

* Keyless entry problems: If you have a keyless remote, check its battery. The remote may also need to be reprogrammed to the vehicle. This usually requires a dealership visit or a specialized scan tool.

* Faulty door lock actuators: One or more of the door lock mechanisms may be malfunctioning. This requires mechanical repair.

* Electrical problems: A problem in the car's electrical system could be interfering with the locking mechanism. This would require professional diagnosis.

If you're thinking of a different type of code (like a security code for an aftermarket alarm system), you'll need to consult your alarm system's manual or contact the alarm system installer for instructions.
