The Saga Continues...

[Guest yxalaG]

Hi everyone,

 

Well, I finally figured out that I do not have an alarm.

 

I managed to locate a new central locking ECU for a third of the price of Ford, and after fitting it, I was so glad to see my little light on the door flashing

 

I then tried to follow the instructions for reprogramming the key, but alas, it will not go into "programming mode" (the little light should stay on I assume)

 

I made sure all my doors were locked, unlocked the car, turned the key three times (to the unlock position) and held it for 1/2 second each time, but no constant red light! Actually, I tried 3, 5 , and 10 times! but still no good

 

I thought all my troubles would be over once I got a new ECU, but that's not so!

 

what are the list of problems I am faced with now?

 

any ideas from you guys would be really appreciated.

 

thanks.

Hi,

 

Yep, tried all that, but it just will not go into programming mode. :P thanks for your time.

 

If anyone else has had this problem and managed to sort it PLEASE let me know how. :P

if its any help it took me about three hours to get ours into programming mode, and that was after the ford dealer gave up. just keep trying.
