SUPER FRUSTRATING!!!!! My keypad just stopped working one day out of the blue. Plus, both sets of keys also happened to be inside. So, really the cost to fix the stupid thing was $445 if you count the cost of the locksmith service. Supposedly the wiring inside my door was messed up and two loose wires were shorting out. To top it all off, the wiring also affects the key fobs. Mine were still working, but heads up if you have this problem and just want to ignore it - your fobs might stop as well. I could have saved some money if the dealership had looked at the wiring first rather than just ordering a new key pad, so be sure your mechanic checks the wiring in the door before ordering a random part.
