daz131 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 hi i bought my gal recently after looking on here dont know whether or not it should have had a red key...i have got a standard key and a 2 button remote key it opens the doors and starts engine when used in lock but no remote locking...have browsed through 60 pages here and have tried the way them anual says...put key in lock turn right 3 times take out and point at mirror scenario but it doesnt work anyone who can help it would be really appreciated...many thanks in advance Quote
NikpV Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 dont know whether or not it should have had a red key I don't think it should have red master key - according to TIS From 98 MY onwards the master key has been deleted and has been replaced with another black key. Two keys are required to programme additional keys by the owner/operator. Up to a maximum of eight keys may be programmed to the system. Quote
mumof4 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 I have two keys..one remote onenot..plus i hada black plastic key...buti broke it!! :D Quote
NikpV Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 I'm assuming you are using this method... 1) make sure all windows, doors and sunroof are closed2) insert the new key in the drivers door and turn to the unlock position 3 times (hold the key in this position for about half a second each time)3) the led on the drivers door should now light up to confirm 'set up mode' ...... what happens to the door Led - does it come on ? 4) within 5 seconds, remove the key and point at the rear view mirror. press the 'lock' button and hold it down, and now press the unlock button 3 times.5) now release the lock button. the led on the door should now flash Quote
daz131 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Posted May 9, 2006 i have replaced batteries i get the the led to come on in the door when twisting key to right three times when i do the key combo the LED on the key stays on for 5 seconds then goes off but when i try to unlock the door using remote it doesnt work. anyone got any ideas the thought of paying ford Quote
NikpV Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 Is there another sensor for the remote locking at the back of the car, if you point at this click unlock 3 times during the programming period - does the door led flash? Quote
daz131 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Posted May 9, 2006 not sure nik i wouldnt know what to look for couldnt even see a sensor in the front it just said point it at the rearview mirror..... seeing that you are online:do you know what service 1n01 means on the air con consul?hopefull ythis is just telling me there is no gas in the aircon as the previous owner emptied it at the end of last summer.....as he didnt use it during winter apparently it builds up some sort of bacteria in it otherwise.....

I have a mkII but I seen to recall from other posts that the sensors were little domes but may be completely off track here, from the age of the vehicle I am assuming that its an infra red remote - if its not there is a slightly different procedure I think. Sorry no Idea about the service number - I'm at work and no references here Quote
daz131 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Posted May 9, 2006 according to the owners manual there are sensors either above the rear doors or just behind above the rear windows i will check later... i get the distict feeling that i have just bought a car with some major technical issues i cant beleive so many things go wrong with these cars......

Masked Marauder Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 Forget the sensors, they are for the infra-red remote that was phased out before 1998. 1998 models should have a radio remote. These do die. Have the fob checked at a dealers. Quote
