    So I ordered keypad. My dealer, near me, had it in stock because it is a known issue. It came the next day. Plugged it in and wha-la everything works again. 340 dollars later.

    START by checking the fuses and circuit breakers. You may have tripped/blown the one for the front/bow panel.

    I had the same issue. I replaced the keypad and the problem was solved. They tend to short out.

    Is there a trick to getting the plugs off the panel? Pressing the tap in doesn't seem to work.

    That is the way they come off. There is an O ring around the plug to seal the connection, so you could try a little silicone spray to help break the seal.
