Tailgate release from door keypad

ChaseU said:

Yesterday I was using my door keypad to unlock the truck. I entered my 5 digit code once and unlocked the door, and for whatever reason I began entering my 5 digit code again, immediately after. Upon entering the third digit of the 5 digit code, my tailgate opened.

I’ve tested this numerous times with the doors both locked and unlocked and it works every time. I do have the upfitter switch tailgate release mod offered by @Ruby installed so this may be the reason. I tried pressing three random numbers after the correct door code and this did not work.

Can anyone else confirm this works on their truck as well, either with or without the Upfitter switch mod?

I hope this helps! This is just another benifit of the kit. Once again, you enter your code, and hit the 5/6 button, and the tailgate/trunk/liftgate will open

Sounds promising... My truck is in for tunes, suspension, 37s, bumper and lights, so I will not be able to test for another week.

Do you have any additional info on the upfitter switch mod to release the tailgate? I am interested in that one, as well.

Just to clarify, this will NOT work without your kit?



Also, it sounds like the third digit of his code must be 5/6...

This WILL work without my kit. My kit does not interfere with anything as far as factory workings go.

And yes, his third digit must indeed be 5/6 haha

My kit only adds to the factory system by allowing you to flip an upfitters switch to “pop” the tailgate

Here is the thread at which you can find out all the details and purchase Ruby’s Upfitter kit. I highly recommend it.

Hahahaha, thanks for the clarification, I thought I was going crazy. Interesting function regardless.

Uhhhh, and nooooo, my third digit isn’t a 5/6 �� lol.

So a simultaneous push of the 7/8 and 9/0 will lock the doors, a 5/6 after entering the code will execute a trunk release...any other shortcut keys people are familiar with?
