Keyless Entry System, Adapting Ford's Keyless Entry System to my 6GC Options

[Special_Edy]

Ok, so there are two 97 Lincoln Town Cars in my driveway and I have to admit I've fallen in love with the keyless entry keypad above the door handle. I had to replace one of the keypads and a window regulator, and while I had the door apart I realized how easy it would be to swap this system into another vehicle.
I have an aftermarket immobilizer in my 94 GT and I plan on wiring the keyless entry into it. So far I have a spare module for it that goes into the driver door and a keypad with a bad button(no big deal they are $10). I will need to find a very specific wiring diagram for the keyless entry system(not to mention the Toyota), and the door wiring harness from a Lincoln towncar.





Spare Keypad, 1-2 button doesnt work but I can get them at the salvage yard for $10




Driver door Keyless Entry Module, stores 5 codes. cost $35 at the junkyard.





So so far my total starting out for this project is $35, Ill make sure to keep you posted.
Lemme know what you think!!!

Yeah I think I want it right above the door handle, its fairly small, at least it looks small on the side of an 18 1/2 foot lincoln.
Im kinda thinking about what richee said and it would be awesome to put it on the underside of the mirror, so you couldnt even see it but I could walk up and touch the mirror discretly for 2 seconds and the doors unlock. Id feel like the Fonz.

And it will be awesome having it hooked up to the viper immobilizer. I could leave the keys in the ignition and the only way on earth to get it started would be to disarm the system using the keyless entry code. Im thinking a push button starter would be an awesome addition with that in mind.


Im definately gonna keep my progress updated here and make a good record for anyone else that wants to do this. After this I think my next project will be a heads up display using a lincoln dash . Depending on how succesful this turns out maybe I could make a few prefabbed wire harnesses so this could be a plug and play project for any other 6GC owners(except for cutting the door D: )
