A Challenge for you. Dealer Flash Failure Help

Ok I've read the posts I ordered a doorhandle with the keypad from Ford and Installed it. I have a 05 S/C XLT F 150. I plugged it into the Harness and headed out to the the local Ford Dealer to have them Flash the Computer. I stumped them they could not do it. They said the code for the Keypad did not even exist it showed five blanks on thier computer. They said the computer showed some indications of the key pad being there but they did not know how to get the computer to recognize it to enter the code.
What can I suggest to the Dealer it is a 100 mile round trip to the Dealer so I do not want to many trips back and forth.
. The dealer was trying to tell me I needed a VCM Box for the security system. I already have the remote clickers and they work fine, Any Suggestions I hope I don't stump you guys too. Thanks CB

Ya see this is why I dont like to post. Thank You Al Bundy he found this TSB This is from a Previous Post " I just found the technical service bulletin, in case anybody else wants it":

FORD: 2004-2005 F-150

ISSUE:
Some 2004-2005 F-150 vehicles built through 2/7/2005, may exhibit an inoperative keyless entry keypad. This may be due to the vehicle security module (VSM) not being configured to accept keyless entry keypad input.

ACTION:
Reprogram the VSM using the As Built Data in this TSB. Refer to the following Service Procedure to access and re-configure the VSM using WDS, NGS+ or NGS Classic.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

WDS PROCEDURE

Close any existing sessions on WDS.
Disable the VSM by removing fuse F2.107, or by disconnecting VSM connector.
Start a new WDS session, (select 16 Pin > all except those below, etc.).
Allow WDS to identify the vehicle, perform VIN confirmation and RO screens by pressing check mark button, (VSM will fail network test because it is disabled).
Select Toolbox tab, pick Module Programming, Programmable Module Installation > VSM.
Follow WDS prompts to cycle the key OFF, press check mark button.
When "INSTALL A NEW MODULE IN VEHICLE" appears, reconnect VSM module or reinstall fuse F2.107.
Follow prompt to cycle key ON, press check mark.
When the explanation screen indicates As Built data will need to be entered, press check mark.
Enter the appropriate As Built data when prompted. After entering C1-01 data from As built press the check mark. WDS will then prompt for C1-02 data, enter 6010 0000 0033 for Regular and Super Cab, or enter 2010 0000 00F3 for SuperCrew, then press the check mark. After entering the C1-03 data from As built press the check mark. At this point, WDS should indicate whether the programming was successful. If unsuccessful verify good connection at DLC, good power and ground to VSM, self-test VSM, re-boot WDS and reattempt the procedure.
NGS CLASSIC OR NGS+ PROCEDURE

NOTE: NGS CLASSIC USERS START AT STEP 2 WITH LATEST LEVEL GREEN SERVICE CARD. NGS+ USERS START AT STEP 1.



Select Diagnostic Data Link, VSM, Module Configuration Programming.
Select Programmable Module Installation.
Select VSM if prompted to select a module.
Select Retrieve Backup Data.
Enter "4253" for Security Code Number.
Enter VIN if prompted.
Enter Vehicle Data (As Built data can be obtained at the professional technician society (PTS) website or at www.motorcraft.com).
Enter the VSM Data from As Built, starting with C1-01, press "STORE".
Select "YES" when asked "DOES THE AS BUILT DATA LIST C1-02?".
Enter 6010 0000 0033 for Regular and Super Cab, or enter 2010 0000 00F3 for SuperCrew into C1-02 data, press "STORE".
Enter the VSM Data from As Built, into C1-03, press "STORE".
Select "NO" when asked "DOES THE AS BUILT DATA LIST C1-04?".
Select "RESTORE MODULE CONFIG-NEW ECU". At this point NGS should indicate whether programming was successful. If unsuccessful, verify good connection at DLC, good power and ground to VSM, self-test VSM, and clear codes, cycle the key and reattempt the procedure.
