it's not bad. I'm telling you: It has been changed! I know this 100%.
that is all.
nothing is broken, nothing is wrong.
You can change the code. Now i need to know what it is....
PLEASE, don't say "IT" when were talking about two seperate units here.
Everyone responding here is correct. The code number on the trunk sticker IS the original code, it cannot be changed without resoldering the internal resisters of the DDM (Driver Door Module) regardless of what you've heard elsewhere.
IF that code does not unlock the doors, there's one of several possibilities:
1) The keypad can have a 'stuck' key giving a constant short message to the DDM.
2) The keypad can be defective and totally useless.
3) The DDM was replaced and the trunk sticker was not updated.
4) In some cases, replacing the DDM cures all ailments, and will come with a new code. You may, or may not update the trunk sticker. There's where the problem may be at this point.
The best way to find out if the code sticker (from the trunk) has the correct number is to remove the drivers door panels, get the DDM in your hand, and read the number printed on the side of it. That's the code number.
After you've confirmed that the number you 'think' is correct, we can take this to the next level.
PS:
After you've found the correct "Permanent Factory Code" you can ADD another code, not change the original.
Here's the process:
Programming —Keyless Entry Keypad Code
1) Enter the permanent factory keyless entry keypad code.
2) Press the 1/2 button within five seconds to activate the programming mode. Holding the 1/2 button for more than two seconds will erase all stored customer codes. The door locks will lock, then unlock, confirming the codes are erased. The existing codes do not need to be erased to program new codes.
3) Enter the new five-digit keyless entry keypad code.
4) To associate the new code with personality position 1 or 2, press the 1/2 button within 7.5 seconds of entering the 5th digit of the new code for position 1 or 3/4 button for position 2. The door locks will lock and unlock confirming the new code is programmed.
5) If another code is to be programmed, begin entering the code within 7.5 seconds of the last button pressed.
6) After all new keyless entry codes are programmed:
* Transmitters can be programmed within 7.5 seconds of the last keypad code entered.
* Press keyless entry keypad buttons 7/8 and 9/0 at the same time to exit the program mode.
* Wait for 7.5 seconds; the driver door module (DDM) will exit the program mode automatically.
