Keyless Entry Door Buttons Not Working

[johnjsm21]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and need some help.

I have a 2007 Focus with the keyless entry system. On the driver, passanger and tailgate doors there is a black button for locking the door. On the driver door it works fine but recently both the passanger and tailgate buttons have stopped working. Pretty much within a few days of each other.

I would like to know if anyone has had this problem and how they fixed. Is there some trick or do I have to order new buttons. Does anyone know wht htese are called.

Kinda want to stay away from Ford dealer as they charge arm and a leg for parts and labour.

Thanks

J

Hi John,

I would start by getting to one of the buttons and testing the switch, see if you get a reading back.

As so many are affected, I would suggest disconnecting the car battery, leave it for 30 minutes to an hour, then reconnect, and see if this resets the problem.

Try cleaning them, its moistuture in the contacts most likely.
