2025 - How to Add SecuriCode

[DD519]

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share how I was able to install the OEM SecuriCode door keypad. I took delivery of my 2025 Lariat about a month ago which had the dealer installed option $280CAD. To my surprise, it was a keypad that is battery operated and attached above the driver door with double sided tape.

Overall it took me about 90 minutes. You will need to program the keypad using Forscan. Definitely worth it in my opinion. Much cleaner look than the dealer installed option, and you don't need to worry about the battery/ someone removing the keypad.

Tools you will need:
7mm socket and wrench
plastic trim removal tools
painters tape (optional)
Forscan adapter

I was able to go to the parts desk at my local dealer to buy the OEM parts to make it happen.
FL3Z-1520555-SG MOULDING (Trim panel)(gloss black) $122CAD
There is also another version that is a flat black. Unfortunately I do not have the part number for that.
FL3Z-14A626-AH ACTUATOR (Key pad) $47CAD

First step is to remove the screw behind the driver door. Torx T20

Next step, I put some painters tape below the belt moulding just to protect the paint from any scratches. I then used a plastic trim panel removal tool. Carefully, I inserted the tool below the moulding, and unclipped it. Be careful as it is delicate and held in place with metal clips.

As you can see, it is held in place with those metal clips (silver).

I then rolled my window down, and was able to pull the weather stripping out. This will expose x4 7mm bolts holding the existing panel in place.

Now to remove the old panel, you must pull the left side towards you and slide the panel to the right.

Next step is to feed the wire through the new panel. Snap the keypad into the new panel. Reattach the new panel by sliding left of the door frame. Reinstall the x4 7mm bolts. Do not overtighten.

Now we must remove the door panel in order to get access to the electrical connector. The door panel is held in with several 7mm bolts and plastic clips. To remove the door panel, we must remove the 2 bolts located at the bottom.

Using a plastic trim removal tool, I removed the red reflector. You want to pop out the top side of the reflector, followed by the bottom. This will expose another 7mm bolt which you will need to remove.

Underneath the grab handle is a plastic cover. First you remove the top right side, then top left side, followed by the bottom.
Once you remove that plastic cover, you will find x2 7mm bolts. (Note* they are longer than the other bolts holding the door panel on)

Now we will remove the panel behind the mirror. It is also held in by clips. Using the plastic panel removing tool, carefully pry the panel off. There are two plastic clips on the bottom side, and two metal clips on the right side. I did not find it necessary to unplug this panel. I left it floating as I removed the last 7mm bolt holding the door panel on.

With the door panel set aside, I did not unplug any electrical connector. You will need to peel back the top left of the plastic sheet. At this point, I raised the window up and reached my hand up inside the panel to grab the harness from the new keypad.

Here you will find the electrical connector from the truck side. Remove the dummy plug by squeezing the plastic tab closest to you.

I connected the new keypad into the connector from the truck side. Make sure you match the black wires up (furthest side from you). I also attached the plastic rivet into the door brace.
Reattach the plastic sheet by pushing on the black sealant. Reinstall the door panel, and attach all bolts/ covers.

Here is what the final result should look like. Now we will need to use Forscan to program the keypad.
Link to Livnitup's Forscan spreadsheet. Follow instructions for (keypad enable)

Once it is programmed, look under vehicle settings and you will find the door keypad code menu. This is where you will enter the factory code in order to add your personal code. To find the factory code,
"If you don't know your truck's factory code then you can get it to display if you have both vehicle keys with the following procedure:
1. Insert first key in ignition and turn to ON wait 4 seconds, turn OFF and remove key.
2. Insert second key and turn to ON wait 4 seconds - FACTORY KEY CODE will display on instrument panel. You can now use factory code to change code in SYNC."

Simple as that!
Bonus*
To lock the truck from the outside with the keys inside, just press the 7/8 & 9/0 buttons simultaneously.
On the previous generation, you were able to remotely drop the tailgate by entering your door code, followed by the 5/6 button. Unfortunately I was not able to get this to work on my 2025. I'm not sure if it is because I have the pro access tailgate.

Thank you SO much for this!

While I feel we, as buyers of 25's shouldn't need to do this, it's really nice that we can.

Love the writeup and the detailed pics.

What are you planning to do with your double sided tape version of the keypad?

 

[EricR]

WOW!

Well done!

Thanks

No worries! Just glad I was able to get it to work and help out others.

Thinking about removing it and possibly reattaching it on the front passenger door panel or just tossing it lol

Appreciate it - I was hopeful when someone posted the wiring diagram that suggested we could do this.

Might want to keep it if the door keypad has a failure as a short term backup. Great stuff - and congrats! I'll be doing this for sure.

I was lucky enough to get in on the last year when I bought my 2024. I'm willing to bet it'll be back for the 2026 MY. Just like when the removed the diver side oh shit handle in my 2013 but brought it back a year or two later.

Man those tape on ones are horrible looking. Maybe it would look a little better on the b- pillar but still not a nice solution. I can see those things getting ripped off for “fun” in parking lots. Whoever at Ford dreamed this up needs a swift kick in the 0-9 buttons.

Yes, my OEM Tremor has it installed on the B pillar. (black drivers side vertical molding)

I have a 2023 Tremor, with the power tailgate (not pro access), and I cannot get the 5/6 button to drop my tailgate either.

Great write up on this.

hmm wonder why they got rid of that feature. They also removed the tailgate button next to the steering wheel too for the 2025s

 

[ITCharleston]

The 5/6 button will drop my tailgate on a 2024 XLT

 

[UGADawg96]

Just tested 5/6 after unlock code on our 2021 and it drops the tailgate. Cool, learn something new everyday.

Since my tailgate is "powered", I still have the tailgate button on the dash....left of the steering wheel, by the light cluster.

I'm assuming that they disabled the 5/6 thing too, due to power? Who knows.

I also have a button on the FOB.

Great write up!

Question: I assume that you installed the integrated keypad into the new panel prior to installing the new panel, correct? Or does the panel come with the keypad? You mentioned two parts but then showed the new panel with the keypad installed. Is this glued or with screws?

My [5/6] doesn’t work either (powered tailgate), but my dash button is to the extreme right above the headlight switch with mirror zone lighting and pro power switch (2022 Tremor 402A):
