If the entry is anything like the Ford Lex I traded in for my truck then the inside of the handle, the part your fingers wrap around should be touch sensitive and is what unlocks the door. The button should only be for locking it.
Yes that’s exactly right. Just wrap your hand around it and it unlocks. To lock it you hold your thumb over the “button” for a second or two and it locks.
ah just looked closer at your all forscan changes are in the BCM, (my mind thought it was based in the DDM)
shoot yeah your right I'm sorry I cant read at all apparently, that makes sense though is a bit scarier module to flash.
For what it's worth, I emailed Tasca Parts, and they told me it is NL3Z-14630-G, which looks like it's been superseded by the other part number you referenced. Not sure this helps, but it's a data point.Wanted to share a few notes:
22 pro Tow tech/maxx tow.
Got driver side working per the well written instructions awesome! And the approach lighting is also sweet!
I would add for anyone that is more paranoid you can pull down a copy of the stock firmware before flashing the BCM right from forscan will deposit all the files for you "as built" firmware so to speak in your configurations folder.
also found one of the wire pins needed some tape on the door removed so it could slot in for the driver harness. just something easy to miss
its here south east of the wire gasket going to the inside of the door
figure worth noting for anyone who gets a phantom rattle might be that guy as its hard plastic which IMHO may be worse than the wrapped wire wiggling around in terms of rattle.
The plastic with the "goop" sealant also seemed pretty easy to deal with if you pull on the plastic and use a sharp razor blade to just slice thru the sealant (not the plastic)
I also found a pretty easy way to deal with our friend the main plug that snaps into the body of the truck. ill try and upload, basically using your hand reach the back side and rock the plug toward you will get a small pop then pick/screwdriver the middle of the side that's towards you and it will pop out easy
Passenger Door
wanted to do the passenger side as well (handle part nums are correct) but ran into a harness issue/confusion.
From this thread found people stating harness NL3Z-14630-G was correct fit for passenger side
from online parts store they had PL3Z-14630-G replaced that part cool makes sense (first char is year so fair). However that harness is flat out wrong missing plugs for pass door mouke and had a few extra super funky ones so its going back
some more searching and I see this info on another store
SKU: PL3Z-14630-E
Replaces: NL3Z-14630-G
which is now also concerning as that's yet another different part number. Just want to make sure im not going insane swapping parts like a madman. Any thoughts or anyone else find the same?
yeah im wondering if its worth the extra dosh/going with a local dealer (though the ones local to me are just scummy) or just take my chances a second time but these online shops will not take a return on a electrical part at all.
I understand. It might be worth calling an online parts place and seeing if a salesperson will work with you. Tasca doesn't say explicitly that they won't return an electrical part, but they do say returns have to be pre-authorized. Maybe a cool salesperson would help you out with an **exchange**, especially if their system is telling you that the part should fit and it doesn't (I understand they aren't in the business of helping with retrofitting options onto a vehicle that didn't come with them, so this is a stretch, but it's worth a shot). Maybe you could tell them there's a whole thread here on the forum of guys looking to do the mod and that you'd give them a shout-out for great service. An enterprising salesperson would be helpful and ask you to give out his contact info so he'd get the commissions on the sales (or at least so his department will get credit for increased sales if he doesn't earn commission).
