Ford Fiesta

i-want-my-nic

Hey I have a 98 Ford Fiesta Flight, but unfortunately had the battery restarted with the jump leads the wrong way and the radio has been reset. I have t get the car serial number as it's not in my handbook. Anyone know where I can find it & where to get the radio code?

Any help appreciated

You will have to take out the radio, to take it out locate the 4 holes on the front of the radio, 2 on each side. Stick pins in them, pull the ones on the left to the left and the ones on the right to the right at the same time and pull together, it will slide out.
The serial number and part number are on the right hand side of the radio.
If you give me the numbers then I can get you the keycode, normally €15 I'll do it for free;)

Some dealers write the 4 digit code on the bottom of the ashtray during the PDI. You might get lucky!

@OP did you actually look for the radio keycode itself? Thats all you need to get the radio going, try in the audio book, its a 4 didgit code?

You can also go to a Ford dealer who will be able to find the code for you, but as Plug said, it costs money! I know my boyfriend did it on his Opel Astra and it was €10

Take a chill pill mate we here minus a few muppets help each other on these forums, its only €15, my employer won't go belly up just yet. Even if he loses out on a massive €15 i'll still get my wages.
You can sit down now.....

Right back at cha sweetheart!

It was a little bit of humour darling! Im just pointing out that if your employer saw that he would not be thrilled is all!

She will have to drive down all the way from Meath do the south east for my employer to be hit by €15 which I think is highly unlikely, who will get hit by the €15 is the Ford dealer up in meath:D
So my employer will be thrilled:p

Ha! Never thought of that! I approve so:D
