How's that keypad install coming?

I've got the new keypad with wiring the new cheap stick-on door vinyl just waiting for the truck to get back out of the shop so I can take off the door panel and confirm if the wire connector for it is there or not.

If it's not it'll be real simple, I just send it back for my money back if not looks like I'll be cutting the hole in the driver side door.

Update on my install. I use mine all the time. When I golf, I’ll leave my keys in the truck. Having it inside the fuel door is a stealth install.
One note, when leaving keys in truck, you have to lock from keypad. If you lock from interior button or door handle….itll Auto Unlock.

I bought the exterior keypad. Thought it’d be a handy item. Bought it from Ford Accessories. Took it to my local dealer, they couldn’t program it. The guy tried for an hour. Parts guy said they’ve had a lot of problems programming them and they were junk.
So, went to another nearby dealer. First trip, the master tech called off and I had to reschedule. The service manager did tell me I’d need both sets of keys to program. All 4 slots were programmed, so they’d have to remove all and reprogram the key fobs and keypad together. Second trip and a half hour later….finally done. Took about 6 hours of my life, but I wasn’t to be deterred.
Anyhoo, I finally installed it inside the fuel door. First I thought I’d install on the door itself, that didn’t work. So, I was able install in the cavity. It fits, barely. May be better to remove the cover from the pad or shave the ends a bit. But, it’s installed.

Such a great idea! I’d do this on mine if I didn’t have a hybrid haha

I bought one of these for my Mustang years ago not long after i go it.
Also installed it inside the fuel door for a cleaner look. I used it ALL the time, loved it.
It had just died about a month ago and I couldn't bring myself to buy another at $120 for a 16 yr old car that I might get rid of. (Edit, I had it and used it for 12 years before it died, for reference.)

Just bought the Maverick two weeks ago and it is installed on the door pillar, 2022 XLT.
Gotta get the old code from previous owner cleared and don't have the owner's manual for the base code, so I guess I'll have to go to the dealer for assistance.

Maybe I'm missing something? But if the truck is locked how do you open the fuel door to unlock the truck with the keypad? I'm sure I'm overlooking something very obvious?

Ecoboost does not have a locking fuel door
