Hi all, the remote locking buttons on my 56 Focus have packed up working. I have tried changing the battery but this has not solved the problem, which makes me think the problem is with the car.

Anyone know where the remote signal receiver box is located and if this is likely to be faulty?

Cheers in advance

They can loose their program, has happened to me a few times, it's quite simple to re-program.

Radio Frequency Programming Instructions:

• Insert the ignition key and turn from position II (Ignition) to position 0 (All off) and back four times within three seconds.
• Remove the ignition key. The locking control system is now in "learn mode" for the next 20 seconds and the red warning system LED (By the clock) stays on continuously to indicate this.
• During the 20 seconds press one of the transmitter buttons. The remotes signal and code number is learned by the locking module and is indicated by flashing the warning system LED.
• Wait until learn mode times out (20 seconds) or switch the ignition back to ON.

 

Hi mate thanks for the advice, just tried this and doesn't seem to be working. The car is beeping when i turn the key but nothing happens when i press the button.

 

Do you have another remote to try?

 

Sounds like the remote itself needs testing/replacing.

 

Thanks for all the advice guys. After trying a new battery and reprogramming with no success the only choice was to get a new remote key.

The programming instructions are a little different to the ones posted earlier here. I found some good instructions from this replacement ford key company

I got a new remote from my local Ford dealer and programmed using these instructions, very easy
