Ford Fiesta Remote Key

[homer75]

My Ford Fiesta remote key has stopped working (it's the three button one which controls door locking, boot opening and alarm ). The key still works manually and locks / unlocks and starts the car ok. I have changed the battery in the key but still no joy. Anyone got any ideas on what to try next ?

Not sure if it will be the same as the Vauxhall one, as mine would not work either and i got shown a trade scret by the Vauxhall Garage. So give this a go... Get into you car, put key in ignition and turn until the ignition lights come on dashboard - but do not start the engine. Then press each button on your key fob while the keys are still in the ignition. Each function should then perform as the remote is re-calibrated to each function by the trasnmitter in the car. As I say this works for the vauxhalls so might be worth a go!

you will have to re programme the remote if the batteries have been removed for 25 seconds or so .Put the key in the ingnition and turn back and forwrds to the first position on the lock five times .Then you will hear a small chime remove key and press and hold the boot release then boot opens (hopefully) insert key in lock and turn to postion two to complete.

Thanks for the replies - I tried that procedure essex bloke but no use. Maybe the key unit has packed in I noticed it was becoming harder and harder to operate it before it finally packed in.

OK, here's your solution. Contact this guy. His name is Ian. I won't give the phone no. but he specialises in remote keys and his website is:

A very similar thing happened to me last week and he fixed it. It will cost �35 to fix, but it's worth it!
