Key Pad

[beaver_jd]

I am ordering a new key pad for my passenger door and was told labor could be $300 plus if the door panel has to come off. I think a new pad can be put on without taking the panel off. Am I correct?

Not sure what part you mean. Maybe a description or pic?

Take it to a bodyshop. They will charge you one hour most likely to do the job.less than a hundred. If you want I will send the instructions where they can find the hidden screws. Note if the courtesy light gets broken, its not available anywhere

The pad appears to be attached with 2 screws and you see them on the door jam.

If you are tali!ing about the outside touch release it is just 2 screws . interior button is more difficult.

 

[beaver_jd]

Yes , it's the outside touch release with 2 screws. So take the screws out, unplug it and plug a new one in. Correct ?

 

[mickeytee]

Yes. Many people just take it apart and clean the contacts,but its cheap while you can still get them. So just replace it and keep your old one

I asked that question because the dealer told me the panel may have to come off. That's why I decided to check with the group. But hey, thanks for your valuable input.

Really ?? I made the observation based on a review of the thread and its' obvious nature, not to ruffle feathers...You are welcome, regarding my input. Just saying. And so it goes.
