So, per the title, my keypad has stopped working. Doing some research (and using common sense), the battery died. So I've learned a few things.
1) The battery lasts about 5 years.
2) When the battery is low, it unlocks/lock/unlocks when you input a code in order to warn you as a driver. I noticed that it was going funky, but I didn't know that meant that it was a dead battery, but looking around online, that's the signal that your battery is low.
3) Ford says that the battery is not replacable.
My question to all of you - I know you can pull it off with floss and some polishing. And as such, is the rationale that Ford says that the battery isn't replaceable because it's not designed for service, but with some elbow grease, I'm good to put a new battery in it and have it all work... Or has it lost its programming and I need to bring it back to the dealership to program / replace with a new one?
Thanks!
