right, i got a new key remote for my mrs focus as the old one became broken and the buttons didnt work, i swapped the key part with the old one, so in effect i now have a new remote on the old key.

i did the four ign turns on and off with the std key, and pressed a remote button...all went well, the remote works! but now the key wont start the car....

the spare blue chipped key starts it fine,

my question is, how do i make the key with the remote work? do i need to do the four turns reset with the chipped key? or will it wipe that aswell?

 

the passive anti theft (PATS) part of the new remote still needs reprogramming to the car and ford diagnostic equipment is required to do this.you can change the transponder chip over if your careful.basically take the remote back out of the key and look at it.there is a cylinder type thing in one side.carefully take this out and put into new remote.

hope that helps

 

You have to take the W1 transponder out of the old fob aswell mate then key will work its glass so be very carfull when removing and refitting into new fob then will work fine .

not another doug

 

ahh, ok, il take a look thanks

 

i see it, how do i get it out?

 

JT use a small pick but be very carfull not to break it else its fooked!


Hello Doug ! lol




Regards Doug .

 

can i not just split the remotes.... they open in two halfs, one holds the battery and the glass jobbie, the other holds the buttons and circuit....

if i put the two together it should work?

 

IN principle yes as long as you swap the guts ( actual key fob battery holder part)



Regards Doug .

 

ok, il try it lol, if you see smoke on the horizon, and i dont come and post for a while, come looking for me

 

IT WORKS


thanks guys

 

its exactly wot a i did to my focus key fob, bit of mix n match
the fobs aren't really built to last are they

 

no, they seem a bit crap tbh, the buttons all fell apart inside on the old one

 

right thread hijack time - sorry mate

my 06 plate focus, the buttons on the remote wont work, use to work then car wasnt used for a few months and the remote stopped working,

i have replaced the battery, and now if i do the 3 - 4 ignition thing and press a button nothing happens, is the way to do it on a mk3 focus too????
