WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The driver door module (DDM) monitors the RKE keypad through circuits 78 (LB/YE), 79 (LG/RD) and 121 (YE/BK). As each button is pressed a connection to ground through individual resistors occurs. The DDM receives the ground signals from the RKE keypad and operates the locks accordingly.
