How would I go about doing that? hahah. Damn I sound retarded. I can lift trucks and install audio systems but I am retarded on installing door handles! haha.

 

Personally I haven't done that particular part of the install... but I know the keypad is plugged into a harness just like the windows and door locks. How the keypad stays secure in the handle I can only assume it will be another clip like the lock cylinder. I know some of the other guys on here have done this so maybe they can chime in as I would like to know this as well. I'll be ordering the LT handles for my FX4 sometime in the near future and if I can save $40 by using the same keypad that would be sweet. Or when you get em in you can let us all know... two words... GUINEA PIG

 

Damnit! I hate being the guinea pig!!! Ill probably just spend the extra 40 bucks and buy them with the pad isntalled already. If its pre-installed do I need to reprogram the code again?

 

Yup but it's easy... just follow the instructions in your owners manual.

 

Roush...you are the man! Thanks for all the help buddy!

 

No problem...after doing this install three times and a fourth on the way I've come across almost every problem there is with these dang handles..lol.

Trust me you'll get done with this install and be like.... Man that was easy afterall Make sure you post pics

 

I will! Just cant wait to the handles get in. Probably like 2 weeks or something, because it say they dont ship for 3 to 5 business days.

 

6L3Z-1522405-DQ is the key pad. But I'm not sure on the color

 

the handle with the keypad comes with the keypad already installed or at least it did on mine

 

Ya but I think that keypad is like $85 or so isn't it? I know there is one that is cheaper that has just an empty hole and you use your existing keypad. I know there is like 3 different online vendors to get these from though so I maybe wrong.

 

So my price IS the handle with they keypad?? I am soo confused...I cant wait until they are done and on!

 

That's what I thought when I got mine, but both sides were the same price (prices comparable to what 04procompLARIAT posted) . I definately got the one with the keypad. Maybe black is less expensive than the others?

 

No. Ken from fordparts just emailed me the updated prices. I am ordering today!
6L3Z-1522405-DP HANDLE ASSEMBLY - DOOR - $86.00
6L3Z-1522404-DC HANDLE ASSEMBLY - DOOR - $47.49
5L3Z-9943400-AAD HANDLE $25.06

 

Mine came pre-installed and I didn't have to reprogram my code again. I would think it is stored in the computer not the little plastic pad. As for swapping your key pad into a empty handle...that shouldnt be a problem at all. There are just some little plastic lock clips that hold it in place. You would just pop yours out of your old handle and pop it into this new one. If I could have saved a few bucks doing that when I got mine I would have been all over it.

On another note, you are really making too much out of this. If you can install a lift this really will be easy for you. Don't let the directions intimidate you, because once you get in there it will make a lot more sense to you!

 

Sweet I feel better now! I ordered them today and cant wait to get them! Oh yea my HD grill FINALLY came in today and it looks awesome! I kept the black surround on it for now, but in the future I may put the chrome lariat surround on the HD grill.
