    Default Ford Radio Locked

    :| Hi Guys. I have a Ford radio, which is now locked due to the fact that i removed the battery while I was away on holiday. When I returned, I reconnected the battery and was rather annoyed to see that I required a code. Since I had not setup one, I entered what I thought might be a default code '0000' It then came up with an error, I then tried 2 other codes which I found in my car manual. Now the damn "err" won't go away. I have been told I have to get the radio unlocked, and then get a code. Can some-one help me here. Do I have to take it to some-one to get it 'unlocked' and then decoded? It is not a fancy radio, but it helps me pass the time when I am in peak hour traffic on the freeway!!

    Ford 96DA-18B865-EA
    S/N 10599682
    Model FCT014A2-B

    Thanks for your help :thumbs

    I can't see it locking after 3 attempts, what happend is the 2 hour lockout....

    Leave the stereo turned on for just over two hours and return you look at the screen and think "Toni your a wonderful man" because the ---- will have reappeared again, and just so you don't lock it out completely heres your code from the serial number you provided. SCHWING... a little bit of karma from the button please..

    if it's a 3 digit code your code is 595
    if it's a 4 digit code your code is 7812....

    Thanks for the info, I have just put the radio back in the car and switched it on. I will check on it in 2 hours time and hopefully I will see _ _ _ _ flashing. I will let u know the outcome.

    Leaving it on for over 2 hours worked a treat, however, i got stuck when I tried to put in the code. It requires 4 digits, so 7812 would have worked, however, I don't have buttons for 7 & 8. So I hunted around again for a code and I found a code written down in highlight on the inside of the glove box a 4 digit code.....:thumbs It worked, I have music again!!!!
    Thanks for your help Tony.
