keypad not workiong

[LukeOmalley]

Hi gang, my keypad hasn't work in quite while. any thoughts?

Clarify not working. Code doesn't work or keypad completely dead, as in it doesn't light up when you press any random button?

 

[LukeOmalley]

it doesn't light up

Hmmm...I'm going through the shop manual and I can't seem to find any circuit details other than the keypad is fed off the Body Security Module and is normally open. I'm assuming that by doesn't light up and not working you've confirmed it's just not the bulb burnt out. May be time for a new one, I'd check out fordparts.com to see if it is replaceable.


NEVERMIND, found it. Here's the diagram for the switch. Probably broken wire in the door, like so many others.

LukeOmalley, here are some threads that may help out with troubleshooting broken wires in the boot between the driver's door and the body:

My keypad is vertical on the door pillar and it's pretty easy to remove. Let me know if you need help removing yours.

Hope this helps out!

You guys are great. I address the keypad next week along with my faulty window switch located on the drivers door. the switch is for the front passenger window.

I thank you all.

Be sure to check for broken/damaged wires before you assume the switch is bad. If all else fails:

OP - do any of the buttons work on the keypad?

The top button on my door keypad doesn't work. I just assumed it was a burned out keypad but haven't replaced it yet.

 

[LukeOmalley]

none of my buttons work, and nor do they illuminate. I'm going top address the keypad and window switch in a few weeks.

I just had the same problem. I pulled the boot out like was suggested and found three wires totally cut in half. Repaired them and all is well again.
