Optimaximal Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hi, My partner has a 63-plate Fiesta Titanium Ecoboost (face-lifted version with larger grill) Up until about 1pm today, it's been largely issue free, but all of a sudden the car will not lock with the remote fobs unless standing right next to the car. It's not been a gradual reduction in range to indicate a expiring fob battery and the issue has occurred with both fobs simultaneously, which is telling me it's a hardware issue on the car. Are there any known things to try before I book it into the dealer for the inevitable expensive diagnostic & parts replacement routine?

iantt Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 have you tried new batteries, probably both batteries in remote fobs the same age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimaximal Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 That's certainly possible, although one key is used a lot more than the other... I'll try swapping one of the batteries out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 other than battery, the only other component is the the rf reciever but i would have thought it either works or doesnt. located to the right of the interior light assy on top of headlining.

Optimaximal Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Ok, strangely the keys are behaving properly this morning (we haven't had a chance to replace the batteries yet). I'll keep monitoring the issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
