Keyless.....again
Seems to me that if your F150 has power door locks but no keyless entry, it should just be a matter of locating the proper module and plugging it in.
I cant see Ford having a different harness for trucks with and without keyless.
On pre-96 trucks it should be pretty simple to locate a module in a salvage yard, then buy a couple fobs off e-bay.
Im guessing at least all F and E series used the same modules.
What we need here is for someone to post a pic of the keyless module.
I may even have it on my 95 F150 Eddie Bauer, I didnt get any fobs or orginial Ford keys when I bought the truck. So maybe I have it and dont know it.
The advantage to going oem is that there is no wire splicing and the fobs will be available forever.
So, can anyone cough up a pic of the keyless module?

I don't have a picture but I have heard that they are mounted under the dash, to the right and above your right leg if sitting in the drivers seat; that is, straight back behind the in-dash cubby hole. It should have something written on it like "anti-theft" if you have it. If you see a light blue box mounted there, thats not it, thats your airbag control module; I believe the stock keyless was mounted somewhere behind it. Also, I believe if you already have it then your cluster will show a blinking yellow THEFT light after you get out and lock the doors.

On my 97 F-250, the dome/courtesy lights go through the module also. I'm thinking the horn does also. I don't believe my truck has the theft alarm as it's not mentioned at all in the manual and there is no bulb in the theft section of my cluster.
