Keypad and running lights problem
Hey everybody, 1st post. Bought a 06 F-250 2 months ago and love it except for this little problem. My keypad on the door has quit, along with my day-time running lights and my fog lamps. I have checked all fuses and nothing has come up so far. What else can I check, or is this something I need a computer for? Everything else works great.

If fuse #19(10 amp), fuse #17(15amp), fuse #7(30amp), and fuse #102(30amp) are ok, then I would suspect there may be something wrong with the keypad or the vehicle security module. To test the vehicle security module, the dealer will have to put their communication tester on the truck.
If you can find a auxilary relay box 2, there are two drl relays and one park brake relay inside this box. You can check those relays, and also check the switch on the parking brake lever. If this is activated, then the drl's will be turned off.
It would not surprise me if the previous owner disconnected the drls for some reason. There are hundreds of posts on this board where people want to connect, disconnect the drls, and make the fog lights work differently than they are supposed to. Look around for a mysterious switch under the dash, and if you find one, that may get the foglamps working.
P.S. In 2003, the aux relay box 2 was in the engine compartment on the driver's side back near the hood hinge area. That's the latest info I have.
