Led Light Not Going Off On 2 Function Ford Galaxy Key Fob

[amber_7861]

Hi,

 

Could anyone tell me why the LED light on my keb fob is not going off?

It just came on unexpectedly and I have tried everything and it is not going off.

 

Thanks

Is it flashing or just constantly on?

 

If it were flash I'd think the button is stuck, but if it's constantly on then maybe it's time for a new key?

 

I assume you've opened the fob and taken the both batteries out and put them back in?

It's constantly on for some reason :S

 

Had it for quite a while though.

 

I was going to open it up and see if there was a problem with the battery but then wouldn't that reset the key fob? Resulting, in me having to reprogram it?

I don't think you need to reprogram the key as the car is coded to the key's unique 'code' not the other way round. Reprogramming is a piece of cake anyway :25: (see below)

 

Open it up, remove the batteries, rebuild and see if it stays on again.

 

 

To reprogram the key, follow the 2nd set of instructions.

1. Close all the vehicle doors.

 

2. Note:

Make sure the door lock cylinder is held in the unlock position for more than 0.5 seconds.

 

Insert the key into the driver door lock cylinder and turn the key from the rest position to the unlock position three times within five seconds.

 

3. The door lock light emitting diodes (LED)s will illuminate for 15 seconds during the remote transmitter programming mode, allowing the remote transmitter to be programmed.

 

4. Remove the key from the driver door lock cylinder and aim the remote transmitter at the interior rear view mirror.

 

5. Press and hold the LOCK button on the remote transmitter.

 

6. While holding the LOCK button down, press the UNLOCK button three times on the remote transmitter.

 

7. Release both buttons simultaneously.

 

8. Make sure the door lock LEDs flash five times, confirming that the remote transmitter has been programmed.

 

9. After a remote transmitter has been successfully programmed, the GEM will reset the programming mode, allowing a further 15 seconds to program the next remote transmitter.

 

10. To program additional remote transmitters, repeat steps 4 to 8.

 

11. Make sure that all the doors lock and unlock, confirming that the GEM is no longer in programming mode.

 

12. Test all the programmed remote transmitters, by activating and deactivating the locking and unlocking functions.

shouldnt do,only if you take the batteries out then it might need reprogramming to your central locking of the car,

had my batteries out for over 20 mins and didnt need reprogramming.

 

i think maybe there could be a build up of crud?take it apart and give it a good clean.

 

BUT DO NOT LOSE THE LITTLE BLACK PATS CHIP OR YOUR BE SCREWED.
