Vehicle Security Module pinout
I posted over at the E-Series forum but have not gotten a bite yet, so I thought I would give you guys a try since the VSM/CSM has been discussed here before. Here's the original post:

My 2006 E350 VSM module is very similar to what Ford used in early 2000 Super Duties, F150's, Excursions, etc. Looks a lot like this:
Look familiar? Anybody recognize the module and have a pinout diagram for the module. I'm hoping to add a keypad and as you can see from my wiring manual, the keypad was not even an option. Thanks.

The VSM from the comparable 2006 Super Duty has a completely different set of connectors (3 of them) with one dedicated to the wired keypad. You'd have to pretty much rewire everything to the module after getting the correct connectors.
Assuming your van has RKE, why don't you simply install a wire-less keypad? Ford made them as accessories, you know, and you can usually find them on ebay.

Oh? There's always an alternative...just be sure to use a combination lock and you won't need a key.

a failing battery in. This would be for emergencies and infrequent use.

The battery in the keyless will last years, probably beyond the life of the van.
You're sure putting a lot of extra effort into trying to put a square peg into a round hole for something with such infrequent use.
Good luck.

Thanks. This is exactly what i was looking for. 
From what I am reading here, suggest that the modules were very similarly configured. The question is whether the guts of the module are the same. I'll have to dig into it after I get the doors together.

Tell her if you weren't wired that way you would've traded her in quite a while ago on a newer model with more features. Let us know how that goes.
