B Pillar Trim Door Driver Side with Keyless Entry Keypad Compatible with 2011-2019 Explorer Replace DB5Z-7820555-AB DB5Z-7820555-AC

I’m honestly not sure what’s going on with this pillar. The build quality seems solid—the plastic feels sturdy, the snaps are secure, and the two-sided tape looks like it’ll hold up well. However, after installation, the electronic keypad just doesn’t work at all, which is incredibly frustrating. I was really hoping this would enable the keyless entry on my car, and I’m pretty disappointed that it’s not functioning as expected. I rely on the keyless entry feature, so not having it working properly is a big letdown. I’ve double-checked everything, but no matter what, the keypad remains unresponsive. It’s disappointing because everything else about the product seemed promising.

Perfect replacement! The original part somehow got a chemical burn on it that smeared across the bottom just below the number pad. This replacement part is beautiful! Granted getting the original part off was a bear. I had to use the heat gun on it to get the 12 year old tape off but once it broke loose the rest was pretty much straight forward.
