I have a 2002 F150 Fx4 with keyless entry. My wife makes deliveries to customers and a couple of days ago it was 42 below with the windchill up here on the canadian border. She left the vehicle running and ran up to a customers door with a delivery and when she returned to the truck both doors were locked with her purse and cell phone inside the cab. She said the locks clicked shut the minute she closed the door. With no way to get back inside she had her customer drive her home to get another set of keys to gain entry. I experimented with the locks trying to simulate the situation and once or twice it did lock when the door was shut with the engine running but not consistantly. I see that there is a keyless entry pad available from Ford as an add on that would enable a person to gain entry in case of a lock out. Has anyone every added this accessory to a F150? Is it difficult to program and what is involved? Up here in the far frozen north it could be a life saver. I would appreciate anyone with experience on this device. Thanks |
handle assembly. There was a connector in the door that was already there
and capped off. You remove the old door handle and install the new one with
the keypad, route the harness to the connector in the door and hook it in.
You will need the code for the lock or get it off the box on the firewall on
the inside of the truck up above where the pedals come through.
Not sure if the 2002 models have the connector in the door already like the
2000 models.

experience.
My taurus did this to me once; now my antenna has an odd kink in
it
. I always roll the drivers window down about halfway if I getout when it is running. There's supposed to be an idiot detector that
will reunlock the doors if you use the power lock button with the door
open. There is probably some odd bug in the computer code there that
will lock you out.

might be to disable the autolock feature for the winter (or at least
for the arctic conditions you're experiencing now - I can't fathom
temps like that. I have a friend there who said when he spit, it
actually froze BEFORE it hit the ground, Didn't sound like he was
pulling my leg either!)

It's so damned cold up here that the town flasher has to describe himself! |

Far cheaper would be for her to just have a door key in her pocket. I would
be
pissed to no end my wife left the truck running AND her purse in it
unattended.
But then I know the hell someone goes through because of identity theft.
Not to mention
most insurance companies will say, so sorry you left keys in vehicle with it
running,
that's not covered

running while they run into 7-11 (or wawa, or whatever's in your neck
of the woods), In this particular case, the OP stated that in -42 deg
weather, she opened & closed the truck door, took a package up to a
house door and came back. Sounds to me like the truck wasn't out of
her sight and that it may have taken her a matter of 30 seconds to do
her task. Are you telling me that you would have turned off the
truck, locked to doors, etc for that? I would think that re-peated
procedure can't be too good for the engine/starter/battery in that
kind of weather, but I guess the biggest factor would be what kind of
area she did this in.(NYC? no...Cow plop MN? probably..) Many people
leave thier car runing unattended for much longer times, like warming
it up in the morning (When I leave in the morning, you can see the
white exhaust drifting out of driveways up and down the block.) While
you are right that any car stolen during this is a "easy out" for the
insurance companies, my point is that is extremly common here in the
north. Besides, at -42 I would think it's too cold for even the
thieves.
BTW - The above is just idle talk and is not meant as flaming at
all....I have read a lot of your postings and thought I should also
add that I find yours and a few others on here usually valuable and
insightful. Thanks!

and acts like a remote key fob, but needs a five digit code to operate.
I have had one on my Ranger for some time now and it works like
a charm. It has functions similar to the factory keypad (at least like
those on my Lincoln) and can be set to any five digit entry code.
You can have up to four remote devices programmed at the same
time, so you can have your two remote fobs, the keypad, and one
spare. My advice - get one via eBay auction (as I did - but make
sure it is a new one), it will cost you much less than the same
part from the dealer. The programming is explained in the
instructions, I did mine in about five minutes.
good luck
