FORD 2004 F-550 v.2 - Manual (Page 81)

To replace the battery:
1. Use the largest flathead screwdriver that will insert into the slot on
the right side of the keypad. Gently twist the screwdriver to pry off the
top cover. Pull the cover off by pulling to the left and then up. The top
cover and the internal components of the keypad will come off the
vehicle and the back cover will remain mounted to the vehicle.
2. Remove the internal components of the keypad from the top cover
and place the top cover on a soft surface to avoid scratching the
decorative finish. Note: Do not remove the silicone rubber membrane
from the rest of the electronics.
3. Insert the screwdriver into one of the two slots on the metal battery
holder, located on either side of the (+) indicator. The battery will then
slide out enough to obtain with your fingers.
4. Remove the old battery from the
unit and replace it with a new
battery, ensuring that the (+)
indicator is properly aligned
properly and seated completely
inside the battery holder.
5. Replace the keypad internal
components back inside the top
cover. Note: Ensure the screwdriver
slot is located next to the 9
• 0
keypad.
6. Hold the top cover and the internal components together, align the
unit with the back cover mounted on the vehicle, and press the two
pieces together. Run your finger around the perimeter of the keypad to
ensure it is properly seated.
7. Press the 7
• 8 and the 9 • 0 controls simultaneously to lock the
vehicle and to verify the keypad is functioning properly.
Note: Replacement of the battery will not cause the remote keyless
keypad to become deprogrammed from your vehicle. The remote keyless
keypad should operate normally after battery replacement.
Replacing lost/damaged remote keyless entry keypad
If a keyless entry keypad has been lost or damaged, or you would like to
buy an additional keyless entry keypad, you can either reprogram them
yourself, or take all keyless entry keypads and remote entry
transmitters to your authorized dealer for reprogramming.
