Where the serial lives

  • On the case label

    Look along the top face or the right-hand side of the metal chassis. You want the short line beginning with V followed by six digits — not the 11-character part number.

  • Barcode sticker on the fascia surround

    Some Transit vans have a duplicate barcode sticker inside the fascia aperture, so you can read the serial with only the trim ring removed.

After you have the code

Entering a code on a Ford V unit

  1. 1

    Turn the ignition to accessory. The display shows CODE.

  2. 2

    Enter the four digits using preset buttons 1 to 4.

  3. 3

    Hold button 5 until the display confirms.

Wrong entries add a delay that doubles each time. If the display shows WAIT, leave the ignition on and let the timer run down rather than cycling power.
