To get the Ford Ranger's radio working again after the antitheft system is triggered or the battery is disconnected, you'll need its radio code. Various third-party services offer unlock codes for your vehicle for less than $20. These services typically require information from you, such as the vehicle's VIN and the radio's serial number. You can find the radio's serial number by pressing either the 1 and 6 buttons or the 2 and 6 buttons until it appears on the display. Visit a Ford dealership or a third-party service to retrieve the unlock code using this information. Alternatively, you may find the code in the owner's manual.
