I tried to search, but it kept telling me fatal error so..

I wanna put power locks in my truck, but I don't want the switches in the truck. Just the power locks with the OEM keyless entry.

Will my door cards work? Can I get the parts out of say an explorer? What would I need besides the actuators? I assume there is a keyless entry module?

Thanks guys.

 

Pick up one of the power door lock kits off ebay. and install it cost $50 and mine has worked perfectly for the last 3 years.

 

Would probably be a lot easier and cheaper to put in an aftermarket system.

I have an aftermarket one off ebay shipped to my door was about $45. came with instructions specifically for the ranger. It's a remote lock system, but im sure you can add switches in the door panel. I havn't yet installed it though. The remote you can add different options to it, like remote start, alarm, etc.

 

Yeah I was looking at them on ebay after I posted it this, but I just hate the cheap looking remotes they come with. I'm very OEM+ styling, so I wanted to stick with an OEM remote.

I don't want the switches in the door panel. Cheapens the look of the car, and I have a two door, so it's not much to reach over and unlock it.

 

oh i know....just wanted to put that out there for anyone who jumps in and asks if switches can be added.

 

Gotcha.

Anyone else do an OEM keyless install?

Maybe can supply me with part #'s for what I'd need at the dealer?

 

It's not hard, but it is time consuming. Don't get the parts at Ford, the CSM is expensive. Get a 01-03 Ranger CSM from a salvage yard and make sure you get the connectors and at least 6-8" of wire w/ it.

edit: the CSM is in the glovebox. I was playing w/ a RAP when I took the pick.

 

Ah great. Thanks!
