P Reg Mondeo remote locking

[oldfartuk]

The remote locking key fob stopped working lst night.

I put a new battery in, doesnt make any difference, so i started to research it.

Hold the button down on the key for 2 secs and the LED will flash - yep does that, so the key must be ok.

Its a radio key not infrared, so i found the instructions to reprogram the key. Put key in ignition, move it from position II to 0 4 times in 6 secs, the light on the clock comes on and its in learn mode - umm no its doesnt, nothing happens, apart from the ignition going on and off.

I conclude the receiver or other part of the remote locking in the car must be shagged. Car locks normally with the key in the lock.

Anyone else concur? Or doesnt someone know anything else or some other diagnostics i can try ?

Fuse 25, central locking and remote locking fuse 20A, blown, replaced and working again.

well 0/10 Pistonheads, looks like the only thing in the heads were pistons, brain cells being replaced entirely. No help at all, no use at all, time to delete the whole Board.

Or you could have looked at Fordmondeo.org

But why do that to find an answer to a Ford Mondeo problem?

You'll be missed. No. Really.

So you sign up to a forum to obtain free advice and sulk when you don't get any?

Nice.
