Problems with keyless entry pad

[gmcbuffalo]

Does anyone know if these keypad locks can be retro fitted on older coaches?

The keyless brain still uses prevost-installed relays to lock and unlock the bay doors, so I would start there. If the keypad is lighted and at least one
function (lock or unlock) is working, you can go to the appropriate relays
and find out which one is not recieving a signal from the brain, or which one is failing to latch and activate the function you are missing. If you would like a drawing of the interface, I can send one to you. And get you the relay identification numbers (ie: r22) so you know where to go and test.

Thanks Nick,

I have replaced (actually swapped out) all of the relays. The problem appearers to be related to something getting wet in the rain. After the coach drys out, all of the functions work, then stop after the next rain. I do have the wiring diagram for the system.

Kim,

My brother-in-law has the same problem with his Beaver Plastikracker (sp?). Right after a rain or a washing, it won't operate correctly. I'm thinking it is in the keypad itself.

Kim,

Just out of curiosity have you checked to see if there any brains in the keypad? If the keypad is strictly a touch switch device and the codes are in the unit under the passenger side dash it might just be simpler to head down to the local Ford dealer and get a new one.

Hello Jon,

There are now brains to the . The plan is to get one from Ford. Ford has changed the configuration since 2001 (the year coach built). Old model ordered.

Thanks

Sorry there was mistake in above post. The wrong word is "now" it should have read there are NO brains in touchpad. Sorry

I suspect that will fix the issue. I looked at mine and got to thinking a bead of flowable sealant across the top might be a good idea. When you get into yours can you let us know if you would recommend that?
