Gavin Montana Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I bought my t-reg focus 1.6 zetec a couple of weeks ago and both key fobs had no batteries put new one in and nothing happened found a programming guide on the net, fob worked fine for a couple of days then fob wouldn't unlock or lock drivers door, reprogramed fob again didn't cure problem and sometimes with the other doors(mines a 5 door) you press the lock button and they lock and unlock, anyone has any ideas, all doors lock/unlock with the key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'd say the reason the previous owner took the batteries out was because there was a problem with the locking mechanism. The doors have a habit of letting water into the lock solenoids so a good idea will be to check the drivers side one for corrosion and a failed lock solenoid. I used to get a wierd symptom with my old MK1 in that when it was wet weather the car used to lock itself, not much fun if i was defrosting/demisting my car on a cold morning prior to leaving work. I got in the habit of carrying two keys just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Montana Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks check solenoids no sign of corrosion, everything also seems watertight good seals, puzzling as why everything worked when i originally programmed the key fob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky7371 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I had a similar problem with the wifes car key which turned out to be a worn out switch button. It was a simple fix with a soldering iron and the switches cost about £3 of eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Montana Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Switch seems to be in good condition and not showing any signs of wear, wondering if i should follow a sequence in the handbook and clear immobaliser and then programme key any advice please, great site by the way people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
