Fobs are one thing...
Smart (transponder) keys are yet an-other.
Replacement keys MUST match the original key numbers & types... and then... Be PERSONALLY ENCODED in THE VEHICLE (all-together... one by one) ENMASSE.
Any keys not re-coded together will probably no longer function.
If you have your OLD (OTHER) KEY ... You MAY be in luck. You can still get the vehicle moving... LOOK on the INTERNET to see if it is possible get you car to INVOKE the KEY REGISTRATION process.
All cars are different and prices vary wildly. CERTAINLY your DEALER...OR A really good lock -smith might be able to do it as well... But expect the process to run several hundred dollars...If this was the result of getting a new key cut... take it back for a refund or better... just throw that NEW KEY out... but if this is your only key... or both keys act the same...
you have a FAB sensor that is going out, seen this alot of times. there is a little black box under the dash, depending on vehicle that controls the key fabs, how many you have, and the functions of each. the FAB sensor is pretty much the brains of the FAB system and it is about the size of your palm or smaller. best thing is to just have it replaced. they go anywhere from $80 to $175 depending on the functions and if it needs to be programmed specifically to your vehicle. hope this helps
Very possible. Each lock has to fully complete it's movement in order to send an "all lock" signal to transceiver. If not, you may wake to a dead battery as the alarm retries the last command to lock repeatedly.

try removing your key fob and replacing the battery .it sounds like its a security issue and the body control has locked you out and is keeping the key too.replacing the battery in the key fob should restore all.if not you will need a body control module and has to be programmed by a dealer.
I had the same issue with my remote start on another vehicle, the part that bypasses the code on the key had to be reset. The way we figured it out was everything was normal except the vehicle did not start & the security light flashed rapidly.
I had almost the identical problem on my 2005 F150 FX4 Extended cab last weekend. The power door locks would not lock using the keypad, remotes, or door buttons. Almost all other functions worked correctly. The doors unlocked, the radio delay functioned, and the interior lights dimmed. When I used the remote the horn would beep twice indicating that a door was open even there was no message on the message center that a door was open. When I used the keypad or remote, I could hear a soft click from behind the seat. I think it was coming from the body security module or body security module - whatever Ford is calling it this year. I pulled the fuse for the Power Door Locks(BSM). As I removed it, I heard a soft click - sort of like a relay resetting. It may have come from the VSM/BSM. It may have possibly been a stuck actuator releasing. I don't think so. It wasn't that load. In any case, everything is functioning correctly now.
