- Step-by-step guide on how to replace / remove / install left driver door entry keypad trim molding on fifth generation of Ford Explorer SUV ( 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | XL | XLT | LIMITED | SPORT | 3.5L | ECOBOOST ).
Replacing the door entry keypad is quite a bit of project. You will have to remove the inner door panel to be able to disconnect keypad's power cord. Side molding keypad is being held by double sided tape so use a scalpel to cut the wire and separate side panel from the door. Before installing new keypad make sure to clean old tape and debris from the door.
Now open the door and start removing the door panel. You will have three10mm screws hidden behind the covers. Then you will have two 7mm screws on the bottom of the door panel. Now pop out the door panel and lift it up. Disconnect door handle and all electrical connectors from the door panel. Remove the water shield to gain access to the keypad's electrical connector. Disconnect the connector and pull the wiring out.
Now everything is ready to install new side door entry keypad.

How exactly do you get the ball out of the joint for the door handle?
Never mind I got it
yes exactly what i needed to see, where did u buy the replacement part
Glad to hear that. Ordered it online on ebay. It was aftermarket part but worked great
Does the new keypad come with its own code? or can you still use the original code?
Code does not change, so you can use original code
By 2016 The panel with the mirror and window controls and the lower door handle are just clipped in. There is one 10mm bolt under the door handle and the same two 7mm screws at the very bottom of the door panel. The other differences are self explanatory. I could not reach the clip that held the wires for the old panel, so I just cut the panel and unclipped the connector.
I have installed my new panel, but it's not lighting up? It's attached to the proper connector. Wonder if the panel is defective? Is there some 'reset' for the control panel?
Hello I don't think there would be any kind of reset. It should be plug & play. Yours is 2016 which is after the facelift but still I doubt there is any kind of programming needed. Part at my supplier is listed the same from 2011 - 2019. Could be a faulty panel
@@QuiteAlright Thankx. I think the panel is defective as I can't find any info about programming or any kind of reset.
@@hawkeyepoole No problem. I hope you figure it out and have it fixed
What kind of adhesive did you use to reseal the plastic cover inside the door to access the wiring for the device?
Hi, you can use 3M weather strip sealant
Do you know if it will cause an issue with the immobilizer if you just unplug the pad? I don't need the keyless entry capabilities, and the pad is constantly flashing and killing the battery.
Hi, depends how the immobilizer is wired. But I don't think it should
Would it have been possible to simply splice the wires of the new one, and connect them to the old wires coming out of the door? That way, you would have only had to replace the Pillar / Key Pad panel, and not take everything apart. My Explorer has the same problem. That seems like it would be a much faster and cheaper fix.
Hi, well yes that should work if you don't want to take everything apart. Make sure to disconnect the battery before doing it
Hack
Where can I get the keypad from
Hi, you can buy new one from Ford dealership. Other option is buying aftermarket one on sites such as ebay. Third option is getting a used one from a car salvage
