bobfather Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Cheap eBay batteries often have poor power output and therefore report as 'low battery' from new. Better to pay a little more and buy from the high street or a Ford dealership 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No better place to find something out than the detailed and informative documentation supplied by the manufacturer of the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonb65 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Your newer 2017 fobs look like they'll survive the 'inadvertent' press in the pocket issue as the buttons look recessed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge of Reason Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I believe they changed the design of the passive key due to numerous reports of accidental door/window/tailgate opening. I’ve come out to my car several times to find the tailgate open. I no longer keep my key in my trouser pocket for that reason. Faraday pouch for me.

ddarlow Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The excerpts from the owners manual posted above show what is obviously the latest version of the key. But I have a 2016 Focus Titanium, and the interior of the key is nothing like those illustrated. You squeeze the two sides and slide the lid with the Ford emblem off. Inside is a steel key attachment - and nothing else...no little round battery, no space or connections for a battery. It's a mystery to me. Where is the battery?

If you don't have an owners manual you can access an online version of it via the Ford UK website. You will need your VIN number to get a VIN Specific version of it.
