Help with removing driver's side door molding
Hello,
Another noob' here! I have just purchased a 01 Supercrew and need some advice on how to remove the driver's side door panel (without pulling too hard and breaking something
).
All of my courtesy lights work properly except for the driver's side, and my keyless entry system doesn't work either. I have the 5 digit code found under the dash to unlock the truck, but so far have had no luck. I see the interior lights come on when trying to unlock the truck, but doesn't open. I've checked fuses and all are OK.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated! I just don't want to bust something on the truck after removing the 2 phillips screws on the bottom and pull too hard.
Thanks!

Here you go ( right click -> Save link as )

This is the directions for the signal mirror install, which requires the door panel removal. I used these to install the signal mirrors the first on my '01, and then the second time to install my key pad.
For a quick test on the keypad, if you press any key you get the keypad to light up ?
Test each key for light activation, i.e. press the 1-2 key, check for keypad light. Let the keypad light go out, then press the 3-4 key, check for light, etc, until all 5 keys are tested.
Next step, press the 7-8 and 9-0 keys at the same time, do the doors lock ?
You could have a problem with the key pad itself, but check these 2 first, before going to the dealer ( local on online ) and ordering parts.
There are some pics in my gallery on the '01 keypad install, which show how to work in the SCrew door, which is different then the Std / SCab doors ( bit more blocked with sheet metal ).
