After owning our 2000 Eddie Bauer Explorer AWD for four years, my wife
locked her key in the car last week, and I decided it might be nice to
enable the coded entry feature. The manual says I need to find the
factory preset code, which is located on the owner's card in the wallet
(which I can't find) and on the computer control module. Can anyone
tell me how to locate the computer control module on this car?

The control module is in the rear compartment where youer jack is located.
You'll need a flashlight, open the compartment and look toward the front of
the vehicle above the wheel well. YOu'll see a silver box with a label on
it. on this label is the 5 digit code you will need.

A small hand-held mirror will be very useful to read the number.
