David makes a point. If these touch pads get wet and aren’t very thoroughly sealed, the slightest moisture inside shorts them out until they dry enough to work again. At times it would lock/unlock itself or beep on its own.
BCS replaced ours and it did it again several times during and after rain and washing. The next time through Bend they replaced it again, but this time I asked them to seal the pad into the escutcheon and the escutcheon to the coach wall with Lexel. No problem since, and I regularly examine the seals for integrity. If needed, a smear of Lexel is easy enough.
One gripe I and others note is the surface deterioration of the pad, with discoloration, crazing, and bubbling. Regular applications of UV protectants hasn’t helped that.
