did you code the key yourself or someone else?
Iirc from what I've heard ford themselves need too clear the ECU of keys
that have previously been coded..(say if lost/stolen).. And then they code it.
My advice is get membership, or get too Ford fella, as for all their faults
they have THE CORRECT TOOLS for the job...
Just outta interest when u do the search I suggested in my first post, scroll
through and find ya voltage reading..should be 12.4 or above!!
Again if battery/alternator faulty its cause hell with the ST.....
Fantastic! Better advice than the mechanic I went too about it the other day, he was under the impression I needed a new instrument cluster! At an expense of £700, I did try and code the key myself. Although it is the original key for the car, it just randomly stopped working. Think I'll take it to ford. Thanks for your help buddy, but yeah the battery voltage was around 12.6 so no issue there. I really do appreciate your help.
