2002 VSM Questions

I have a 2002 F250, Lariat, CC, 4WD. I’m curious if the truck can be driven, manually locked, etc with the VSM removed? I currently use it as a daily driver and have to manually unlock/lock the doors. And as with old age and some health issues, I’m much slower with wrenching on the beast.

I have no personal experience with a VSM since mine is a GEM-equipped truck. Based on this description from the manual, I would say yes you can.

Thanks FTN, that appears to show the truck can run with it disconnected. I’ve also removed fuse #19 (I think) which disables the system as well and I’ve used it like that for a couple years.
Thanks again.
