  • Try switching your unit on and leaving for a bit (could take around an hour!) with any luck it should unlock

    Im just trying that now, can I use that code more than once, as Ive yet to replace the battery, so if it happens again before hand could I use that code again?

    Sorry for all the questions.

    Regards.

    Yep, that is the code for THAT UNIT it will work everytime.
  • Yep, that is the code for THAT UNIT it will work everytime (there is an outside chance it is not the right code my speciality is Fords but I'm confident it is)

    ScottishSapper you are a star! Ive just gone back out saw the dash's so tried the code you gave me and it worked first time. My girlfriend is over the moon, as she now has a working radio to listen to on the way to work.

    Thanks again.

  • Hey,

    I recently replaced the battery on my 1999 Ford Fairmont Ghia. The stereo now needs a 4 digit security code which I don't have. The s/n is: 12101425

    If you guys can help me, that would be awesome.

    Thanks heaps,

    Sorry...I don`t recognise the format of your Serial Number.(eight digits)

    Ford Serial Numbers usually begin with a letter followed by 6 digits
    ( M + + + + + or V or L or C )....to produce a four digit code.
    This Serial Number is found on a label on the radio casing.

    The American FIC Ford Serial Numbers normally begin with three letters plus 6 digits

    Can you quote ALL the letters+numbers on your radio so that I can identify it.

    (Make sure you quote everything including where it was made)

    It says the Serial Number is the one I stated: 12101425

    Other numbers: WR2A-18B865-CATXD
    Model Number: FCT028A1-A ( I can't find anything at all when I google this however)

    Those are the only other numbers I can see.

    Thanks,
    Oliver

    The clue is in "Ford Fairmont", not a European model so I am afraid we cannot help.
