Hi guys,

I currently have Ford Focus 2008 model (2.5)

Signal no longer works to remote lock, etc so assume battery...I checked youtube videos but they all seem to be for a different type of key.

    What it doesnt say is that you dont have very long to change the battery!!

    After 10-15secs it loses its programming. So you gotta be quick!

    Ooops...I initially wanted top make sure I can open the fob and I took the battery out and left this out till I got a new one :/

    What do I have to do now or will I need to take my key to ford?

    Just re-sync it to the car, there may be instructions in your owners manual.

    I can give you the instructions for the mondeo, it may work for yours as well.

    Turn the key in the ignition from 0 to 2 four times in six seconds, then press any button on the remote

    turn the ignition to 2 again and back to 0, then try to lock the car

    The pictures in the posts above seem to be missing now. If your key is the same as mine (2011 Focus) with no sign of how to open it, no buttons on the side, no where to put a screw driver, try pushing your finger nail along the cracck of where the Ford badge part sits on the back -  mine lifted and reveald the battery underneath. I hope that helps.
