Hello,

I have changed the battery in my key (fiesta flame 2004), now it wont work at all. I have tried the reprogramming process in the manual ( turning from position 0 to 2 four times within 6 seconds and pressing a button). When i do this, there is a beep after the 4 turns, but no conformation beep when i press a button on the key.

Could anyone help?

Thanks

Check that the battery contacts as sometimes they get pinched when fitting a new battery and may not touch the RCL circuit board correctly.

do you mean the 3 little prongs? does it matter where abouts they are touching the battery? i.e. the top or underneath?

or do you mean the golden plates on the circuti board side of the key?

i should mention that there is a rattle now.. which im 99.9% sure wasn't there before

i have the non remote key aswell, could I buy this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-MONDEO-FOCUS-FIESTA-REMOTE-KEY-ALARM-FOB-TESTED-OK-/380797886146?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Safety_Security&hash=item58a9529ec2&autorefresh=true if my fob is broken, and program it to work?

Know this might sound silly but did u put battery in upside down

no, definitely put it in the right way!

Battery changing is a bugger sometimes.

Had same problem with mine few weeks ago, I would open it up clean all contacts and maybe scrape a little to ensure good contacts then retry programming, took 20 minutes and maybe 20 goes to actually get mine to work. Keep trying to reprogram at least a good dozen times.
