Ford Focus Remote Central Locking - looking4car
My Ford Focus (51 reg)RCL has stopped working. Press the key fob and nothing happens, but the central locking still works and the indicators flash when I lock car with the key.

I had the battery changed at local motor factor shop, but still no joy.

Any ideas what it could be ?

Do I have to go to the main dealer ?

Is this going to be expensive ? :-(

The key may need re-synchronising.Details of how to do it are in the owners handbook.Ifnot ,then turn ignition on 4 times in quick succession then hold down one of the buttons on the remote,and wait for confirmation tone.if you have more than 1 remote key,then they haveto be done one after the other.
