Keyless entry keypad installation tips

It needs a module for the keyless to work. It could be installed provided the wiring harness is there for it.
Call the dealer and ask them as they will have to activate it if it is possible.

This is so new I have no information on it yet, But Ford dealer can use your VIN to tell you the code. Cant imagine they would charge for the info. If it's the same as 07 and newer, the number is on the VSM(vehicle security module) located in the left rear of the cab, behind the driver. Printed on a lable.

The module should be somewhere behind the panel on the left side to the rear of the driver's door but as far as I know they stopped putting the code stickers on. I think you need a dealer scan tool now.

Yes, the picture I have is a 2 door and it shows it right behind the driver's door. Your's could be behind the rear door.



Please let us know what you find.

Your vehicle comes standard with keyless entry. You can confirm this by calling your local Ford dealer and giving them your VIN.

That would most likely be the GEM and Central Security modules. Before condeming them, use a test light to be sure every fuse is good, under the hood and under the dash. Check fuses 115, 8 under the hood and fuses 29, 15 under the dash. The RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) system can be scanned for trouble codes with the proper scan tool. This may be worth the time to do. If there is a failure in either circuit, it will store a code.

It sounds like its not getting power here are the security system wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check for power at each of the fuses following this guide.

If the fuses are good check the wiring.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Could you post the make and model of the lock unit you bought please, then we can look up the install instructions and the parts in the kit to determine if it's usable with the stock parts. It likely is and would possibly just need a couple relays. Most of them just use a polarity reversing signal to trigger the door latches. Thanks

Okay, do you have power locks already? Is your truck a 2 door or a 4 door?
Looking at the kit it shouldn't be that difficult to use it if you already have power locks as it also uses polarity reversal with the OEM switches doing the reversing.
To test the unit you can hook the power and ground up, then connect one of the two wire actuators to the blue and green wires from the control box. Push the button on the remote and see if it will move the actuator both directions with nothing else connected. They don't show the wiring very well and you will need to see if it does the polarity changes in the control box or if you need the 5 wire actuator connected to make it work. If it works with only the blue and green wires then you can use it, if the actuator doesn't move then you won't be able to as they are using a switch inside the 5 wire actuator to reverse the power. Please do that test and reply back either way.

Hook up the red and black power wires from the kits control box to battery power, then hook the blue and green wires to one of the actuators from the kit. You need to find out if the control box switches the polarity internally to extend and retract the actuator. I watched a video on a similar kit and it needed the parts from the kit to work and didn't work with factory power locks.
