2025 Explorer Keyless Entry Keypad FORScan Programming

Hi everyone! First time posting on this forum.

I just installed the Wired Keyless Entry Keypad on my wifes 2025 Explorer ST. Part # LB5Z7820555E I have went through the steps in FORScan to program, but was unsuccessful.

I am running the 2.4.14 Beta version.

Here are the steps I took to program BdyCM and APIM in the plain english menus.

I am using the vLinker FS USB OBDII Adapter on Windows 10 Laptop.

1. Enabled Keypad in BdyCM (Hardware enabled)

2. Enabled Keypad in APIM successfully.

3. Performed BdyCM Local Interconnect Network New Module Calibration successfully.

4. I retrieved the factory code by cycling ignition and swapping the 2 keys and it displayed on the instrument panel.

5. The option for adding a personalized code now appears in the settings menu. I confirmed the factory code was correct by setting a personal code in vehicle settings.

My issue is the keypad does not respond. It does not lock the vehicle by pressing 7/8 and 9/0 or unlock with the factory code and personal code. Keypad illuminates when the numbers are swiped and the red LED indicator at the top of the keypad lights up when each number is pushed. I also tried "LIN Enabled" in BdyCM and that did not work either. Furthermore, since the programming was done in the plain English menus, I verified the correct addresses were programmed with the correct values in the As Built menus by cross referencing with the most recent spreadsheet.

Since this is a 2025 model, I am wondering if something else is required. According to my 2025 Explorer Workshop manual, it says to use FDRS and run the LIN New Module Calibration after enabling. I also looked through the entire spreadsheet and the BdyCM and APIM are the only modules that list any Keypad options.

Any idea how we can get that keypad working? I appreciate any help I can get!

They need your Vin and specific info and csn write you a special path
25s are new, I posted up the indrpth, but no common stuff yet

I think you may need FDRS at the present time. The Ford instructions say:
"SSM 52795: Once the Securicode® RKE wired keypad has been installed it must be enabled using the Ford Diagnostic Repair System (FDRS) BCM - Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Wired Keypad Code Programming application. Refer to the instructions available on PTS at Workshop Tab > Accessories > Installation > Electrical > 2024MY Bronco Sport, 2024MY Escape, 2025MY Explorer, Securicode® Keyless Entry Keypad."

The application is in the toolbox section.

Heard back from FORScan Team and they can't assist. I just purchased the Mongoose Plus J2534 Wired Adapter. Will report back how the process went and the steps to activate the keypad.

Outstanding
I had a thought
It's a new 25?? Pop into dealer and ask why it's not working
I bet they have zero clue it wasnot installed from factory...might be able to finagle a freebie

Since you have multiple Fords, you can easily justify the Mongoose. I didn't buy an extended warranty so I used the money I saved on it. For a MY2020, it was definitely worth having. Hopefully your need for it is less seeing how 2025 is a mature product.

You may have already seen this but this is a good resource to get you up and running:

We even have mongoose loaner program on the 14th generation f150 forum

The only thing about Amazon is that returns have been abused. I highly suspect my Mongoose was used, as it had a very low serial number and when I went to activate it using the Mongoose PC software, it said "already activated". I kept it because it looked new and functioned perfectly. I suspect due to it's high cost, some may use it and return it after use.

I think I saw a review that mentioned that. I am a Business Prime member so if it is used, I will send it back till I get one Sealed NIB.

Nice! Not sure how it's supposed to come but box was NOT sealed. The device was in box and not even in a plastic bag. As far as I know, there are no counterfeit Mongoose adapters. Those have been a huge problem on Amazon. Order a genuine product, return a counterfeit.

OK, just looked at my box. There is a small, generic, clear circular piece of tape keeping the box shut.

So was your circular tape piece intact?
