    There are more steps than just shorting the pins.
    With the trouble light lit, press * 2, that will tell you of troubles, can you give more history.

    Thanks for your reply. I get no response from keypad, so cannot enter anything. In the past *2 has worked. Things seemed OK till I added a 4th keypad, then went from bad to worse. System worked with 4th keypad, but that keypad only showed constant 'program' indicator.

    ## should exit programming, you need to assign the 4th keypad likely as Partition 1, Keypad 4 in Location 000, then you need to do a 902(enable supervision) wait a minute, then enter 903 and it should show 4 keypads, and any expanders/receivers, or anything on the buss, after that, anything removed will show up as it was supervised.

    Thank you Stratmando. Everything now working. I apparently suffered a brain fart sometime back, and inadvertently assigned all keypads as global, then neglected to select partition 1 as required. Thanks again.
