Not sure if they all will, there were some vehicle specific ones and they looked different.

I got this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Universal-2-Wire-Slave-Power-Door-Lock-Actuator-360D_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQh ashZitem5d26652f03QQitemZ400076123907QQptZRaceQ5fC arQ5fParts

Well I did this today on my 2011 FX4 SCrew.
Great mod and fairly easy to do with one exception.

I didn't want the tailgate lock to open with one button push I wanted it to unlock with the passenger doors.

The Grey/Black and Light Blue/Light /Green wires worked perfectly for one button push but nooooo that's not what I wanted.

A little research shows many people using the Violet/White wire for 2 button unlock so I searched high and low for that wire. Do you think I could find a Violet/White wire in the drivers door sill that worked?

Took apart the drivers side rear door to check the wires at the power lock mechanism and sure enough, there it was.

I ended up running a wire to the door to tap into the Violet/White wire and now it works perfectly.
