Chris - thanks and no problem - hopefully your research will help those who want to convert to the door bucket keypad setup. 
Chris (off topic) - you seem to have Ford's electrical set up figured out pretty well....if you ever get the chance to check into the "Express up/down" that Ford uses on the '05 Mustang - I'd be very interested in converting the F-150......every time I drive the GT - I wonder why Ford wouldn't include the express windows in a 40K truck.....it really is a neat feature to be able to raise/lower windows at a single touch of the button.

A lot of guys want to fix up the lower end models, and the LT handles should be doable on their rigs, with lock/unlock functions.
Nothing worse than putting on a keypad, then having to explain to someone it doesn't actually work...
Not a problem for you guys with the deluxe trucks of course, but my project is for those of us in the 'cheap seats'.
Hope to have something posted next week.
Thanks again, Hotlap

Hotlap, any pics????
An 05 GT, Windveil Blue. I did not think the blue would go very well on the car. I may buy the silver kit and paint the Mustang just so the calipers dont get the old look. Check out my gallery as I cant post pics in the thread??. Also in the pic is my security system
Second the express up/down. I like it 90% of the time. The only time it is annoying is when you would like to only go half way.

I agree on the express. On my STX both windows are express up and down. I added four little modules from Taurus etc. drivers doors. These modules make each window you hook them to function the same as the driver express, only I've added them for express up also.
However, the viper 530t module is the simplest method. It runs the windows up when you arm the alarm, and/or converts the windows to express up and down, all in one little module.
Today there are dozens on e-bay, do a search on 530t and then you can read the ads for details.
Pretty easy to install, 60 bucks delivered. If you have it put in, it usually costs about 50-75 for labor.
