Infra Red Key

[Bigjeeze]

I need some help My remote key for MKII has stopped working. I assumed this would be batteries and have changed them but to no avail. The little red light flashes but it has no effect on the doors at all. The doors all work fine with using the key in the lock.

 

Any ideas?

I thought it was only the MK1 that used an infra red type key?

I'm actually not sure what type it is - you point & shoot and it has a little red light! - That's all I know :D

mine on my Mk1 died the other week , I changed the batteries and tried reprogramming it but i think the control box has died, central locking still works on the key though , the control box is dry as well , I was htinking of buying an alarm which I can link up to the central locking which would give a better remote control instead of my crap one which even when it did work you had to be virtually inside the car to unlock it!!!!!!

[Guest gooner52]

unpluged the central locking module and our focus and it worked fine after

 

tried about 4 batterys before,we no luck

Have you tried to reprogramm it ?Do you have another key that works ?

No I haven't tried to re program it - it didn't just die it took a few days progressivley getting harder and harder to open the locks which is why I thought it was batteries. I have all the keys but only this one is a radio key.

[keith9534]

I think its an RF key....try new batteries first...failing that the switches inside get worn out (well at least mine did on the Mondeo?)

[Bigjeeze]

I tried re programming it today - nothing doing. I took the key to bits - the switches appear to operate OK. Is there anyting in the car like a fuse etc that I can check?

[NikpV]

if it died slowly then won't be a fuse, new batteries (where did you get your 'new' batteries from?) and reprogram needed, ps don't lose the pats chip while changing the batteries, btw it is an rf key, does the car go into programming mode?

All working now! :D

 

I tried re programming but to no avail - then decided to reverse the directions in the book and hey presto it worked!! :)

 

Bloody book says turn to the left - but when I did I could reach the lock! :unsure:

It refers to the lock being on the left door java script:emoticon(':D', 'smid_5')

:D

maybe you should try that door !!!!!

how did your programming procedure differ from the one here

 

linked in the faq

 

ps I've used this one and would be interested in any others that work

My procedure is exactly the same - turn the key to the left three times holding gfor .5 seconds and then point at mirror etc etc. But it didn't work until I tried turning the key to the right!. No idea why.
