Question
i have a 2003 ford expedtion and i need the codes to reset the factory radio

Answer
If you are talking about the anti-theft code which is required when power is removed from the radio in order to be able to turn it back on you will need to contact the manufacture.  The reason for this code is to catch thieves and those who have stolen radios out of cars that do not belong to them.  Thus, you will need to give them the full model number, serial number, registration information on the car or other proof of ownership.  If it is a stolen unit be prepared for the police to be knocking on your door within minutes after obtaining the code!

There is a nominal charge for obtaining the code due to the strict requirement of the manufacturer or their service provider having to fetch it from the manufacturers authorized database which was generated as the set was manufactured.

There are some online providers that claim they can get it for you - also, for a nominal fee.  Try this one or others that you can google for.

The one above has a charge of $38.  Your Ford dealer may be cheaper.  Let me know how it goes.
