Intermittent key pad

[LeoC2]

My driver's door keypad sometimes works and sometimes not. It always has power, and can always lock the doors, it's just that sometimes I have to enter my code numerous times to get it to unlock. Other times it works on the first try.

Anyone else experience this?

Nope.

mines been intermittent where it won't work at all. Like it doesn't get power. Works about 75% of the time.

Never had a problem with mine, but I don't use it very often.

I have the same issue... sometimes I have to type it twice to get it to open.

strange... On the Gen 1's the keypad harness is bolted to the door if I recall correctly. I do not see how it would come out. Msut be a wire getting pinched or something.

never had the keypad not work for me.

Leo, I have had that happen to mine in the past. It would not work after numerous tries..then suddenly it would work fine for 6 months in a row. It has happened a total of three or four times since I have owned the car. I believe it is a problem with the interior light timer, or the door sensor. Try spraying WD-40 into your door locks.

It's Lincoln's clever way of giving you a sobriety test... http://www.markviii.org/~badsax/smileys/beer.gif

If you can't operate the keypad, you probably shouldn't be driving... http://www.markviii.org/~badsax/smileys/lol.gif
