double_tap_that Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I recently bought a 2006 Focus and although its a great car i am having a small issue of the car not always starting. If you put the key in and turn the ignition, nothing happens, just a rapid blinking red dot above the dashboard. Several attemps needed but will start after say 8-10 times etc. Question here is, i think the remote is wrong for my car, it seems different from other 2006 models so im guessing the remote is not always registering with the cars immobiliser system, tho i could be completly wrong of course! Heres some pics of my key fob... If they are wrong where would i go for best place to have it altered to what i should have. Ps Ford quoted me £200 for new key/remote.

Stoney871 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 That is the correct key.Could be the PATS detector ring around the ignition barrel at fault.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The key to my 2006 Focus is like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double_tap_that Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 I was seeing like a flip fob key on some adverts and thought this was reason why mine wont start on rare occasions. I guess the PATS detector ring is my best port of call, i will try that and see if it does the job. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 You can add flip keys to your car.I did so on my previous car, you just need a new key and a decent auto locksmith.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
