Asked by GuruX1KVJ Nov 01, 2018 at 10:16 AM about the 2013 Ford Explorer XLT

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Help- I have a 2013 Ford Explorer XLT. The door keypad stays lit constantly killing the battery. I have removed door panel but cannot locate any wires going to the keypad inside the door cavity. I do not want to rip off old keypad and trim until I can locate connection in door. looks like a plug connection in picture of replacement part from Ford.  I tried pulling fuse18 under dash to kill power to keypad but car is dead. Hate for a $200 fix to turn into a $600 fix at dealer. Any help out there?

Not yet still trying to locate wiring diagram for door. pictures of replacement part looks like connector is close to keypad but I have not been able to locate it after removing door panel and reaching inside door opening behind the clear plastic cover. Going to try again today, battery is dead again this morning. Until then disconnecting battery cable each night or ripping off the keypad panel on outside of door and cutting wires! I will post as soon as I find fix.

I changed mine it was a pain in the butt. The hard part is disconnecting and then the wire is connected to the body inside of the door. But I finally got it out. Putting the new one in was very easy.
