Good idea Except my fuel door locks and the key is usually with the van keys so if I lose those and need to get in I am in trouble.

Why not carry it with you? Then nobody can try to guess your code while you're gone!


EDIT: Also, the only ones I can find for 2005 is $68 or more... is there a cheaper source?

Here is where I just purchased mine for $65. Even though the web site says good for 08-10 it works no problem for my 06. The guy said as long as I had power locks in the vehicle it should work for it.

Just copy and paste this part number for it and it will work. 7L2Z14A626BA

I suppose another option is to mount it behind the propane door. Still leaning towards behind the spare tire mount, swing the tire open to access the keypad. We'll see.

this wireless keypad rig sounds awesome...anyone know if it would work on a 2000 e-350 that has 'remoteless' unlock?

It looks like it only works on vans with a factory installed remote lock. I'm sure you could modify your van to make it work.

Might be easier to buy a new van though!

Installed mine today and super easy to reprogram the van to accept the keypad (it comes with directions). I even have an aftermarket alarm system installed and no problems reprogramming it. I think basically if you have a key fob with electric unlock lock doors then this remote keypad will work with the van. Call up a Ford parts dept just to be sure.

thanks mike....a new van is certainly an option, but i just filled the water tank yesterday....

i think i'll call that ford place and see. the local dealers in SLC are not really very helpful.

thanks...i'll post the progress on the keypad and/or the final decision on whether or not to get a new van.

cheers.....joe

Just ordered from Tousley, $64 + hidden shipping. Should be the minimum of $9 for Ground (ouch) but it still beats my local dealer price: $114. Good find!

Will test on an 05, factory + Avatal. Just need to dig out my factory fob!

I dug both mine out and both my alarm fobs but I don't really think you need them. When you program it, it doesn't erase them it only adds to what is already in the system. I never reprogrammed my alarm fobs and one of the factory fobs and they still work with the system.
