neps Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 So, today the fiesta didnt want to respond to my remote key fob. When I insert the key into the lock and turn it, nothing happens. I took the key to the dealer to get the batteries replaced. Still doesnt work. I guess it could be dead batteries in the car aswell (even though it worked fine yesterday) But why would the physical keylock not work? 2010 Mk7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Sure it's your key!? Not picked up a mates by accident lol? Do you deadlock the car? If so, when you turn the key, turn it as far as possible and hold it there for a couple of seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neps Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 It was locked remotely yesterday. Dont know if that does the deadlock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 On the Focus you have to press remote twice to deadlock, I don't know if it's the same for the Fiesta though. Worth a try in case it is deadlocked though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a try in case it is deadlocked though. It is the same on the Fiesta, pressing lock on the remote twice deadlocks it, indicators flash to confirm.

winemart2 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I still maintain that the keyfob key only operates contacts in the door so if the car battery is flat you are stuffed. I'd love to be wrong, guess I'll find out when my battery dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Don't think so Ray, as you say would be useless if the battery died! It's usually a physical link on cars I've stripped for parts, admittedly nothing as new as our cars though! Could always pop a lead off your battery and try it... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winemart2 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Nah, when it happens i'll give the AA a bell :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
