Focus would not unlock

[TangoDaz]

Hi my wife has a mk3.5 st line and when out today the car would not unlock using the key fob. I had to use the key hidden in the fob to unlock the car. Lock it up again using the fob left the car for about an hour and all was good again. Has anyone else had this problem?

My Mk3.5 is quite temperamental when it comes to locking, sometime it locks with the fob first time and other times I have to put the fob to my head to get it to work. That can happen even if I’m stood next to the car, or a couple of foot away. I’ve changed the battery twice and that didn’t resolve the issue. Never had problems unlocking though.

Thanks Jon

normally this wouldn’t be to much of a problem but I’m on holiday so some distance from home and don’t fancy being stranded miles away from home.
