Is the connector strip in the RKP fixed in securely?
Have any of the internal glass fuses in the main panel blown?

If they are fine, do a continuity check on the cable. If that is fine check what voltage is showing in the RKP. If that is fine, change the key pad.

If the keypad lights up, but has no text A&B data terminals are usually incorrect, otherwise system corrupted, and requires full nvm reset, look in manual for resetting system

sounds like blown fuse.

you will need to open the main panel up and take a look at the glass fuses and probably one will need replacing. usually there are 3 fuses (for different purposes) but that naturally varies from panel to panel.

ive never fit an ion but from what i know they are fairly recent so it may not have fuses at all....

if it does, if you have a continuity tester of some sort you can check using that, if not, you can usually see a gap in the wire or something to give it away.

make sure you get the right fuse size too just incase there is a problem\fault
