Thanks for that, I think I remember reading that a while ago (in a faraway land...). From the how-to, you mentioned either 1st or 2nd gen Taurus SHOs have this keypad option. So that means the 2nd gen as in '91-'85, yes? You wouldn't happen to have the part number or the official name for it (looking on RockAuto, can't find it there) like from a service manual, yes? Step 3, the plastic retaining clip is a separate part, I assume, would you know it's name or number? Step 6, why do you say to untape and remove the plastic shield on the back of the new keypad?
You don’t need to lock yourself into that specific one, Explorer/Mountaineers had body colored ones made of metal that look just like ours other than color(you could repaint it satin black if you wished to make it look stock but stronger) and Lincoln Town cars had metal ones that were metal and chrome plated. Lots of options there if you check out used listings. There’s nothing that really goes bad on them to get a used option
