Coded Keypad Problem

[timjm]

Hi folks , can anyone help please .

I have a 1995 Zantia Diesel, & the code pad seems to be playing up . It some times wont accept the code i put in .

I also have a peugeot partner van with the same code pad which i disabled a while ago by disconnecting it while the engine was running.

This doesnt work on the Zantia for some reason , the engine just cuts out when i disconnect the code pad ..

Ant ideas how to get round this problem .. i dont really need the immobiliser, if it could be disabled like the pug.

Many thanks in anticipation

Some keypads have the same code all their lives, and wear out on the digits used over and over again. Stands to reason, you have at least six digits that have never been used.... get the handbook out and change the code. This also acts as a security check, if there are only two dirty digits (excuse me...) there are only um I think sixteen combinations...If the snag is the keypad wiring, due to damage at the harness, there is a way of connecting two wires permanently to bypass the pad, one is output to the pump cutoff and the other is ignition input - however the colour varies between vehicles! A real animal would pull all the bits off the top of the pump and put a wire straight onto the solenoid, but the alarm would never forgive you....
