ktloah Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 We own an 04 Dynasty with the outside push button pad to lock the entry door or lock the bays. We don't know too much on where to look for the control module. I know the reset is under the passenger cup holder. There doesn't seem to be any power getting to the outside pad. Fuse is good under the driver side outside bay. Can anyone point us in the right direction on where to look for the control box? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyR Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'm not sure if this will help you, but in our 2007 Beaver Contessa, it is it is behind the gauges in the dash panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Ours in behind the center console. The wires are accessible through the underside of the passenger cup holder if you need to use a meter to probe the wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktloah Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Do you mean the center of the dashboard. I know about the wires beneath the passenger cup holder. There is NO power to these wires. I need to find the control module.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Make sure you have a good 12v power supply or your battery disconnect is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktloah Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Thanks Harley, I've checked the access panel and couldn't find anything. Maybe it's missing altogether!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit411 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I have a 2006 dynasty. I had the same problem and it was unplugged by where the reset button is it is a white square 4 or 6 prong connector. You might check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPPA Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Is that black box that has the red button hanging off the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....the red button is for programming the personal pass-codes. 16 hours ago, ktloah said: Do you mean the center of the dashboard. I know about the wires beneath the passenger cup holder.

Our control and red button is located behind the center console in that general area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Essex keypad by the door is a stand-alone unit. The locking and unlocking functions are all inside the keypad itself, not in some ‘external control module’. There’s also going to be a Wireless module for the keyfob behind the dash. However, the Wieless module does not ‘control’ the the Essex keypad. The two systems are completely separate except for grounding the same coach relays that power the lock actuators. Check the keypad wiring under the arm rest if you think it’s not getting power. I think the Essex website has a wiring diagram. There’s pos and neg, and then several other wires that the unit connects to ground in order to actuate a lock circuit.
