Col66 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Having some bother with my keyless entry. Works ok on the passenger side but I can't open driver's door without using the key fob. I can lock the driver's side though by touching the pad on the door handle. Any way of getting it to work or do I have to live with it?

DJ_Andy_M Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Is the car still under warranty or just outside of it? Might be worth giving Ford a try and twisting their arm. Sounds potentially like a new door handle will be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col66 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 The car is coming upto 4 years old. I have a 3 month used car warranty which I am going to try and use to cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col66 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Started working again today, just as I had booked the car in at the dealers on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveGSXR600K1 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I had exactly the same problem with my keyless entry two weeks ago, and then last weekend it started to work again. Two weeks ago two things happened that may have caused it. One was that I went to a Christmas party and the room where we had the meal was in range of the car, and I kept sitting on my keys as they were in my back pocket. I went out to the car to find all the windows down, so must have activated the global window opening. It had also switched over to only opening the drivers door when using the keyfob. I reset this back to opening all doors, but the drivers door still wouldn't open by sensing my hand on the door handle. I thought that a long continuous pressing of the buttons may have affected the keyless system. The other possible cause was that, with the salt that they've laid on the roads recently, my car got absolutely black and I thought that maybe this affected the sensor. Last weekend it poured with rain and it started working again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
