Is the new fuse box the correct one for age and engine as there are quite a few different versions, just a thought trying to rule out things.
There are no flashes of any light anywhere on the dash or on any of the external lights, there are no noises, bleeps, absolutely nothing when I try the EKA process. I can open the drivers door with the key, that is all I have. When I try the EKA I get key code locked after only 1 attempt whether I open the door between tries or not, makes no difference.. All I did was replace the fuse rely board.
Key code Lockout means you need diagnostics.There are no flashes of any light anywhere on the dash or on any of the external lights, there are no noises, bleeps, absolutely nothing when I try the EKA process.

Which is what I said in post #10brianp38dse The part numbers on the fuse box are the same so from that I assume it is identical. I may put the old fuse box back and see if that makes any difference, it may have been sold because of that fault, who knows.
Grrrrrr I did the door check micro switch thing from the door actuator wiring following the instruction sheet from one of our members on this site. I will go over the door sequence check again to confirm first tests. I have been talking with Mozz on the phone, he sent me all the paperwork and explained the importance of talking my time and getting it absolutely right.
Key code lockout means you cannot do anything, it needs diagnostics to reset the lockout and most normal diagnostics will not do it as martyUK said.Just back in from testing again, all wiring to doors is good, swapped the fuse relay board back to original, key code lockout at 1st attempt again, no flashes, beeps etc
A happy ending then !I removed the BECM and sent it to martyuk now it's back and all working. It was locked out and no way in except for the fix.
First class service, paperwork shows the eka I had was wrong. It's the luck that runs my life.
Another P38 saved.
Well done @martyuk!
I think Marty just reads the chip, Wammers. Although he may also have the Faultmate.
My maxisys scanner does more than thew Britpart one I purchased, it will be on an auction site soon then.
It's called progressCost me 1200 3 months approx ago, just had new battery, fuse relay box, Audi heater matrix rebuild, air con gassed up, great engine pulls the caravan well so why cant I just have a key and turn it like my old series.
