09 1.6 Keyless Entry I'm At My Wits End!!! - Focus2WitsEnd
I recently bought a second hand 2009 Ford Focus. It has got keyless entry (i.e. the doors unlock when you approach the vehicle without needing to use the remote or the physical key. It does not have keyless ignition). It worked perfectly. Then one day I was using the spare key and because I didn't put it into the ignition in time the alarm went off. I cancelled the alarm using the spare key. Ever since this incident the keyless entry no longer works. I have tried the reset/program new key mechanisms as described in the user hand book (which is one of the worst written documents I've ever experienced). I can still use the remote function of the key, and its got great range, so I know that the battery in my key is good.

Does anybody have any idea how I can get the keyless entry working again? I'm sure it just needs resetting somehow but I've tried everything over the last couple of weeks and I'm at my wits end :-(

Thanks in advance
