1993 ford T-bird drivers door key pad? Key pad lights up but will not open the door ? Door lock works fine with key and the remote,just does not work with the door key pad ?

I would go after the door lock first. Older fords have a switch on the door lock that disables the alarm. They tend to break and fall though. I have replaced them with a momentary on/ff switch.But the alarm would go off when opening the door. On some older ones(85,87)(no keypad) I could disconnect the security module and it did just fine.

This is not a good thing. Ford uses a computer called the GEM and that means General Electronics Module. It controls:

• Low Coolant Indicator On Cluster
• Brake Indicator on Cluster
• DRL - Control
• Wipers
• AutoLamps
• Rear Defrost
• Interior Lamps(dome)
• High Beam Indicator only (cluster)
• Low Coolant indicator
• Key-in Buzzer
• Seatbelt indicator only (Cluster)
• Trunk Pop Relay
• Power Locks
• Door Ajar Sensors
• Door Keyless entry pad
• Remote Keyless Entry
• One Touch Down (power window)
• Air Bag Tone
• Anti Theft (perimeter Alarm) (SEL, or SE(s) with mods)
• Lift gate ajar (wagon)
• Liftgate Pop
• Accessory Delay signal (accessory that work after engine off, prior to door ajar)
• Battery Saver Relay signal (accessory that work after engine off, 15 mins) Map lights, vanity mirrors

They are located behind the radio in the dash and they are $$$ about 600 USD.

you could need new batteries in the remote.

check door lock relay for malfunction

This will help.

Thanks.

1-insert and remove key from ignition two times

2-close and open driver door two times

3-insert and remove key once from ign.

4-close and open drvr door twice

5-insert key into ign.,then close driver door

6-turn key to on (not start) then off, twice this is rewrite mode,have all remotes to reprogram it will clear any lost remotes.

7-remove key from ignition,the door locks should cycle twice.if not start over.it may take a few tries.

8-press lock/unlock together and hold for a second

9-release,and press lock on remote,the door locks will cycle confirming program.continue to do other remotes you have,steps 8 and 9.if only one in possession,you are done. To end mode open door or insert key into ignition.

You'll need to follow the steps with no more than a 1-2 second delay between each step.. hope it works

the door lock actuator is defective, they get really hard to move when they go bad, that is why the difficulty with the key.

Does the key pad on the door light up? Are there any tears in the key pad numbers? Does the key pad lock the doors?.
There are no fuses directly for the pad.. The key pad is linked directly to the RAP. module. If the locks work from the FOB the fuses for the Module are good. Chances are the pad is no good especially if it don't light up. The RAP module is above the driver side foot well, directly above the accelerator pedal . Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, This is a very common problem with Ford Explorers! Ford replaces the locks when it encounters this issue. I managed to unseize my passanger door and tailgate lock, but the drivers door lock is broken beyond repair. You can purchase new remotes for your explorer and program them very easily. Just google ford key fobs...

Driver door module is where to look also a broken or corroded wire and if you use your key to punch in the door code then the key pad has a hole in it or it just went bad it's not the remote control also check the master door lock switch for corrosion at the pins and the plugs same with the driver door module
