BrendanChandler Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The electronic key has 3 buttons, Lock, unlock and Boot. What should the Boot button do? Until this week, the Unlock button unlocked the doors and the boot. This week, it only unlocks doors. The boot key unlocked the boot when pressed twice. It now takes a number of presses of the Boot button to unlock the boot. I am concerned that it seems to be deteriorating. Is this likely to be the battery in the electronic key? If so what is the battery make/model? Thanks Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'd say battery. It should be a CR2032. Sent using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next obvious question for newbies is how do I open the 'key' to change the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShirlthePearl Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hi The boot button unlocks the boot but not the other doors. When closed again the car will be locked. That is what mine does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanChandler Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have a Type 2 key but using moderate force does not separate the key from the transmitter. Do I need to press down hard with the screwdriver in gap or press back or rotate the screw driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The best way I find is to put the screwdriver vertically into the slot and twist it. Sent using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
