foggydewhurst Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hello I recently started a topic about my battery, about a week ago the car would not start and the rescue people started it for me . I have been runing the car to keep the battery topped up.I ran it twice today with no problems and ordered a smart charger from Halfords, which i was going to pick up tomorrow. However I have just been to the car and it wont respond to both my key fobs.I can't even get in. What should I do ? If I manually open the car with the key and can't start the engine will the alarm go off. Do you think my battery has died . The rescue people won't come out again for the same problem. I'm up the creek without a paddle I don't mind paying for another battery , Can anyone advise, many , thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris82fezza Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Sounds like ur battery has gone altogether is ur car keyless entry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggydewhurst Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Thanks for the reply Chris82fezza, to my disbelief the car has now unlocked. What on earth is going on. The car is not keyless entry .Just been out and the car started fine. I feel like i'm going bonkers . Maybe if the car starts tomorrow I shoud get it to a Ford dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
