Upgrade to a keyless entry module?
My truck has power locks, and the theft light flashes so I'm assuming there's a module with the keyless function and one without - Does anyone know if I can just buy the module from a truck with the keyless feature and swap it with mine? I see the module on eBay but just don't know if it's a simple swap.
or am I wrong - I cannot enter program mode so I'm guessing I don't have it. I've got a new key FOB and tried to enter program mode (cycle the key 8 times, and insert/remove the key 6 times) but it never enters program mode.

I have a 2001 f-150 super-crew I didn't come with keyless entry remotes from the dealer, I bought 2 remotes on amazon for about 7 dollars each and the set-up was super easy just turn the key in the ignition forward and back 7 times I think wait for the locks to cycle and press the lock button on up to 2 remotes to set them up. it's been about 8 months and they still work you can find set-up videos on youtube.
