Focus MK1 Remote Locking not Working

Hi All!

The remote locking on my Ford Focus MK1 2002 has stopped working and I cannot figure out why.

I replaced the battery in my key. This did not work.

I bought a new blank key and tried to pair it to the remote central locking. This did not work.

I put the key blade and battery side of the existing key onto the new keys RF chip side. This did not work.

I can lock the car manually fine, I just cannot figure out why the remote locking is not working.

The car enters programming mode ( 2 - 0, 4 times) and beeps, but pressing or holding down the buttons on the key does not result in another beep to confirm remote pairing.  

Could it possibly be fuse 63? Or has the remote transponder in the car died? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    I would think that the receiver in the car has failed or is not getting power.  If you know which fuse it is, that would be a good place to start.
