Ignition key fob battery is low - where can I get it replaced?
I have a 2004 Ford Focus 1.6. My ignition key battery power is very low now, with 80,000 miles on the car, so that it takes three or four attempts to unlock the doors. Can you suggest where we can get the battery replaced?

Any Ford dealer - simply buy a new battery. But you have to be very nimble-fingered to change it. You have to do it in less than ten seconds or the key loses the code. So take the replacement battery out of its packet and have it ready before you remove the dying battery.
