lucas keypad . disconnecting battery

[Jimbo]

My friends got a Lucas pump. The keypads disconnected and he never got the code. Obviously the cars running now what happens if he disconnects the battery will it remember the old code or once it's disconnected will it be ok And still start

Should be fine as long as he never connects the pad back up again so the immobiliser comes back on. The code will be the same unknown code that it was before. I remember disconnecting my battery while doing some work and it still started, and my pad was disconnected.

Chances are the wirering has been chopped about to permantly over ride ot. So even if you plug the key pad in it wont work on the pad.

Iirc you can unplug the keypad with the car running! But when you disconnect the battery you need to redo the code on the keypad! At least I did on my s16

Better off wiring an ignition live to the stop solenoid just incase. Then you can remove the keypad console all together and have more storage!
