SOURCE: where,s the key hole

Go to the front passenger side door and prise off the rear section - on close inspection you will see that it has a key symbol on it, the key hole is underneath.

SOURCE: key fob not working after battery change ford focus 2006

Try reprogramming it.

1. Turn the ignition from OFF to RUN 4 times within 6 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition OFF. The system will chime to confirm programming mode.
3. Within 20 seconds, press any button on first keyless remote.
The system will chime once to confirm programming.

4. Within 20 seconds, press any button on second keyless remote.
System will chime once to confirm programming.

5. Turn ignition to RUN to exit programming mode.

SOURCE: key fob not working after changng battery

Bring it to a "Batteries Plus" type store; they can repair the fob if it is ony a broken battery clip. They did it for me for free! IF it is not the fob, then bring it to a dealer??

SOURCE: key fob lights up but doesn't work even with a new battery

I'm more familiar with Range Rovers and Saab's when it comes to key fobs but if you changed the battery you have to re-program the key fob. If you do not have an owner's manual that can take you through the steps you might want to try: push and hold the lock button on the key fob, put it in the driver's side door and turn to lock. With the button still depressed turn back to open, remove the key and release the button. If this doesn't work check any and all fuses associated with your system and last but not least you could take it to a dealer. Good luck!

Testimonial: "thanks ill try what you've suggested"

I cant unlock my Ford XR6 i have already replaced key remote battery

Do not know where you live but some autoparts stores have a tester for the Key FOBs which let you know if the Fob is working. You might have bought a dead battery. If the Fob is working perhaps the battery in your vehicle is dead and that is why the locks do not work.

Usually there is a real key attached to a Fob. Just use the key.

Ford focus -00 Key fob problem

did you buy the car used. I had a 00 ford focus. and to make it cheaper to install a security system I took the chip out of the orginal key and placed it inside (where the key goes.) the only reason I am mentioning this is because the person I sold it to just got rid of it. Now its a one and a million shot but hey you never know. lol Is it black?

2010 Ford Focus keyless entry quit working

Here are a few things to try and get your Ford Key Fob working again:

1) Change the battery
Batteries don't last forever, you'll be surprised how often it's just a dead battery! Click here for a video on how to open a GM key fob, or search our YouTube channel on how to change a battery for your specific year, make, and model!

2) Wipe the board
The board inside your remote can get a lot more filthy than you think! When the board is dirty it can prohibit the contact to the circuit board when you push down on the button. Simply wiping the circuit board off can make your key fob like new again!

3) Get it checked
Go to your local hardware store like AutoZone or Oreilly's. They usually have a RF frequency tester. This little gadget will let you know if your key fob is sending a signal. If it is, you may need to reprogram your key fob to your vehicle

4) The old car battery reset trick
I know this sounds absurd, but it works sometimes and is worth trying. If you exhausted all of the options above, disconnect both terminals on your car battery for 10 minutes. Then reconnect them and try your key fob. This has worked for many people and I have no idea why. If you do, please comment below to explain.

5) New fob!
It might be time for a new key fob! No need to dread over the expensive costs of a new key fob, at Keyless Entry Remote Fob Inc., you can get a refurbished one for a very affordable price! You won't even be able to tell the difference. Just search your vehicle make, model, and year to find your key fob or give us a call at 402-671-5100.
