Hi All,

Could anybody tell me how (if) it is possible to build a remote control unit (sender) for the central doorlock system?
My 1997 Ford F150 has central doorlock but without a remote sender.

 

Order one off of e-bay, they are pretty cheap usually and are pretty easy to program.

Thanks Jimmy, do I have to do something with some sort of reciever which probably is inside the car somewhere? Is this reciever functional or must I activate it?

Grtz, Bert

 

If you ask your dealer, they will tell you how to program it. I believe it consist of turning the key on anf off like 8 times or something. I believe RacerDave would probably know.

Programming

NOTE: All keyless entry remote transmitters must be programmed at the same time.

To program (or reprogram) the keyless entry remote transmitters into the RAP module, perform the following steps:

1. Make sure that the anti-theft system is not armed or triggered.

2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN five times within ten seconds, ending in RUN. If the RAP module has successfully entered program mode, it will lock and then unlock all doors.

3. Press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter, and the doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that each keyless entry remote transmitter has been programmed.

4. If the door locks do not respond for any keyless entry remote transmitter, wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Diagnosis and Testing in this section.

5. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up to five minutes after step 2, to exit program mode. If a keyless entry remote transmitter has been programmed (or reprogrammed), the RAP module will lock and unlock all doors one last time to confirm.

 

Thanks guys! for your time. I'll will give it a go.
grtz, Bert
