How To: Add Factory Keyless Enter N Go

[RedRam1500JP]

I finally got around to ordering and installing my driver door handle, but so far it isn’t working. I’ve made sure the wires match up, but something doesn’t seem right.

If I press the button on the handle to lock the doors, the DIC will say door open, but none of the doors are indicated as open (and none of them are open). Grabbing the handle to unlock isn’t working either.

I had the push to start working since last summer, and while I haven’t tried starting it since installing the handle, I was able to turn the ignition to accessory and then run without issue.

I tried the handle verification in Alfa, and it says not ok for all doors. Interestingly, it also shows 0 fobs if I do the Locate Learned Fobs test.

Is it maybe because I don’t have the passenger door handle?’ Any other ideas of things I can check?

Got the issue figured out. Apparently when I was doing the upgrade and I reinstalled the drivers side rear seat I crushed the drivers side harness under the seat bracket by the cab corner. Was able to repair it, and after a bit of additional troubleshooting, now everything is working perfectly. Many thanks to DoughRat19 for his help in troubleshooting.

Something interesting I found during this process was that, on my drive side entry antenna at least, the wires work either way they are connected. I had them swapped to see if that was the issue, and it ended up being something else. After I got it working I remembered they were still swapped, so I swapped them back just to see, expecting it to not work. However, to my surprise it still works. No fault codes or anything, and everything working like it should.

Any leads on the C2 connector for the hub? Mouser is showing non stock and TE Connectivity is showing backorder. Got the "free sample" ordered but unsure on a timeframe for receiving

I'm sure this has been mentioned in a previous post but if my 2015 laramie has been prewired up to the door on both front doors with the light green and corresponding tracer color for passive entry, what does this mean for adding this mod to the truck? I currently have everything ordered and have all wiring/connectors in hand. Would I just pin the new door handles to the corresponding connector pinout or would I have to build the harness as described by @Jimmy07 in post #1?
I ran my RF Hub info and the one i have is 68234886AC which from reading doesn't support passive entry. Curious on this additional step for the harness building.

Is it a HD truck? I’ve only come across two other trucks with cab wiring for push button and passive entry. They were either 2015 or 2016’s, I don’t recall. You should be good for push button but you won’t have the wiring inside the doors for the door antennas or door handles.

Thanks for the info Matt! I was able to confirm all existing wiring for the antennas and passive entry was present. Rear and center antenna wiring present and all other wiring was terminated at the body connectors. Will just need to add door wiring/ connectors for antennas and handles. Appreciate all the help.
