If you’ve lost the door lock code for your vehicle, you are probably wondering where you can get it. Sometimes, door lock codes are hard to find.
But it’s not that hard to access the Ford Fusion door lock code if you know where to look.
How to get the Ford Fusion door lock code?
You need both of either your programmed keys or smart keys. Insert the first key into the ignition; turn on the vehicle, but don’t start it. Wait 5 seconds. Put the second key into the ignition, but don’t start it. Wait 5 seconds. The code will then be displayed on the dashboard for 10 seconds.
Next, let’s go over some Ford Fusion history. Then, we’ll give you step-by-step instructions for getting your door lock code. We will also give you instructions for finding your keyless entry door code without having to use your smart keys or programmed keys. Then, we will round out this article by providing you with other important information about the Fusion.
A Little Ford Fusion History
The Fusion is a mid-size sedan. Ford began manufacturing the Fusion in 2005. It remained in production from 2006 through 2020. Unfortunately, this is the end of an era for Ford.
The last Ford Fusion rolled out on July 31, 2020. So Ford no longer has any sedans in their lineup of vehicles—not one. Ford has decided to focus (no pun intended) on matching their vehicles with their customers’ preference—which is for sport utility vehicles. So say goodbye to the Fiesta, Focus and the Taurus.
The only car Ford now sells is the ever-popular Mustang, and we’re guessing that’s not going away any time soon. Ford has expanded their SUV lineup to include an all-new Bronco and Bronco Sport, as well as all-new versions of the Escape and the Explorer.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Getting the Ford Fusion Door Lock Code
Here are the exact steps you need to get your door lock code.
- Put the first smart key into the backup slot. This slot is located inside the center console or at the bottom of the cupholder. For the center console slot, the keyring should be at the top, and the buttons should be facing toward the rear of the car. For the cup-holder slot, the key buttons should be facing up, and the unlock button should be facing the front of your car.
- Turn the ignition on, but don’t start the engine. (Push the Start/Stop button once without pressing the brake.) Wait 5 seconds.
- Turn off the ignition. (Push the Start/Stop button without pressing the brake.)
- Remove the first smart key and insert the second smart key into the same slot.
- Turn the ignition on, but don’t start the engine. (Press the Start/Stop button once without pressing the brake.) Wait 5 seconds.
- Your factory code will then be displayed on your dashboard and remain there for 10 seconds.
If your vehicle doesn’t come with an ignition button, go through this same process using your two programmed keys instead.

Finding Your Entry Door Code Without Having to Use Your Smart Keys or Programmed Keys
Here is the process for getting your entry door code without having to use your smart keys or programmed keys. This is only for the 2013 through 2020 model year Fusions. Unfortunately, this process is a little more involved and requires a few tools so you can access the fuse box.
- Find the fuse box, which is located under the dash. It’s on the upper left quadrant of the driver’s side. So, it’s underneath the steering wheel on the upper left side.
- Remove the panel so you can access the fuse box.
- The entry door code can be found on a black-and-white sticker that is attached to the fuse fox, either on the inside or the backside of the fuse box, depending on the year model. You will see a 5-digit code located on that sticker.
