Sounds to me like some wires have come loose.  Check the connections at the
keypad and at the control.  On some 22/4 station "Z" wire, the wire can
actually break insided the insulator.  It looks like it's a solid wire but
when you start bending it a little you'll notice the break.  If all the
terminals are tight and it looks like the wires intact, then it's time to
check out the actual wiring before you start replacing components.
