how hard was it to get the power locks and Windows?

Piece of cake. The door lock kit was a wopping 40 bucks (two actuators, two key fobs, and a wiring harness), and the power windo kit I used was 75 bucks (two window motors, wiring, and switches).

These have been in this truck for 2 years now with no issues; I had the same in a 2005 for 4 years. Hardest part is running the wiring from the cab to the door; the 2007's have a "plug" at the door jamb, so the wiring that passes to the door jamb has to either go through the rubber tube (about a half inch after the plug), or you have to drill a hole to pass it fron the cab to the inner door.

My truck is a 2004. Keypad and handle are brand new. I did plug it into the existing wire harness that was there for this. It had a dummy plug plugged into it. It took me about 1 hour at the most to install this. My key fob still unlocks my doors as well.
I will try and press the 7/8 and the 9/0 keys when I leave work and see if anything happens.

I bought the handle of a guy on craigslist. It was new and he never installed it. You can order the part from Ford. I can post the part number when I get home and you can check where else you can buy it

Ford123, once you plugged it in did it light up? Mine won't do anything. Did you get the code from behind back seat, punch it in and it worked?

Yup I plugged it in it lit up once I pushed the buttons and put my code in from behind the seat and it worked perfectly fine.
