I'm having a bit of trouble with my mk 6.5 fiesta 1.25 zetec I put a new battery in the remote fob a few days ago and it opened and unlocked the car no problem .went out to the car this morning to go to work and pressing the fob would not unlock the car, I could open the boot with the key and get in via the boot (unable to open via the drivers side lock as it was given the delock look so may have to get a drill out to uncover the lock)I can start the car but trying the door handle it still won't open the doors ,just hoping someone got some ideas what I can do to at least to open the doors as it's not too good getting in and out via the boot


Regards

 

At Citroen we put the key in the ignition, ignition on, and hold lock on the key for 10 secs, then take key out. Then wait a minute. Allows the ecu to learn the signal again. Might work. No info in the manual?

 

I'll have a look when I get home from work (had to borrow my mums car )
Someone did suggest I try the reprogram the fob to the car

 

i tried to reprogramme the fob but it did not seam to work car beeped etc but the fob did not take but while leaving the ignition switched on suddenly the doors unlocked ,so at least i was able to swap the key lock cover back to the normal one .I have orded a new fob off onlinekeycutting.com they even have the instructions for reprograming the keys ,which is handy

 

just to let you know it was the fob that had packed up ,got a new fob programmed it and it work straight away after programming so no more using the key in the lock


thanks
