OK, I just received my new keypad in the mail today and when I opened
it it has a wire harness in the box that connects to the keypad. I
have not removed my old panel from the wall yet  (it is about 10 years
old) did the old ones also have a wire harness? I hope so because all
I will have to do is remove the old harness and attach it to the new
keypad.
