Keyless entry problems

Killar34 · December 27th, 2010, 11:48 PM

Has anyone else here had problems with the keyless entry i can unlock my car but I can't lock it from my remote. Ive check all the fuses in the car Ive resynced it several times but still wont work. Any ideas on what else to check? If I push the lock button twice the horn honks so its receiving the lock signal Its not the motor in the door because I can lock it from inside the car just fine just not from remote. Any ideas please help. Thanks

Stock or aftermarket?

Mine will occasionally not lock when I hit the lock button. (on the door)

Its all stock its the stock ford one. Like i said the interior button is fine thats how i lock it when i get out now. But its the wireless remote like i said it honks the horn when i push it twice but yet u can't hear the click in the computer in the trunk or the doors don't do anything.

Change the battery. You you have another remote?

I was gonna say check your battery, it seems like nothings wrong with the system

Mr. Red Pony · December 29th, 2010, 04:35 PM

The battery in the remote I mean.

Killar34 · December 29th, 2010, 06:42 PM

That was the first thing i thought so i changed the battery and still same problem everything else works just fine.

I think there is a problem with the recieving end on the door itself and although it works it may not be getting the signal through to the door but it sends it to the other components like usual.

You're gonna need to take it to ford and cut off your arm to pay to fix this.

But that's just what I believe and since you've tried it all it seems ford is your best option and the only thing else I can think of is check your chips regardless of whether they work for the door or not and make sure everything is plugged in right and pushed in all the way.

and one other idea could be a wire somewhere is not hooked in right. but where I don't know. (in the door, keypad, idk sorry)

sorry if this is confusing but I thought of things as I was typing =p

Ive gotten so fed up with it i just fell like...

YouTube - Just makes wanna burn this motherfucker down!

Lol seriously

Killar34 · December 30th, 2010, 06:05 AM

Does anyone have a digram for the keyless module? so maybe i could trace the wires?

bigjohnstud4200 · December 30th, 2010, 06:43 AM

my bet is that it's the remote.. if you don't have a second remote AND key, you are looking at $130'ish to get a second remote programmed (You need two keys to program the remotes).

Yeah but if its the remote why does it (push once does nothing push again and it honks the horn) just like every other one Ive seen first locks driver door second locks all doors.

awww.. i missed that. that's a tough one.

Killar34 · December 30th, 2010, 07:21 PM

Thats why i asked for digram so i could trace the wires coming out of the receiver on the car.

Mr. Red Pony · December 30th, 2010, 08:22 PM

Best I got. Everything I have is for 01-02

Killar34 · December 30th, 2010, 09:53 PM

Thanks ill try that.

try to reprogram the remote.. you DON'T need two keys to do that.
cycle the key about 8 times from off to on position, without turning the car on- untill you hear the door locks click.. then press any button on the remote, turn the key to the off position and baM.. you just reprogrammed your remote.. that should fix the prob.

Have you personally tried this? I also have a '00 Mustang convertible with ONE key (purchased this way) and this does NOT work for me. From my reading, yeah, everything you have written will happen.. the doors locks will cycle, but if you don't have a second key the programming will fail PATS (not sure if you can use the remote to unlock the doors, but you certainly can't use the second foreign key to pass PATS). I called Ford and confirmed you must have two keys to do it yourself, if not, you need a dealer or a locksmith to do it.

I didn't have a remote so I bought one off of ebay and I only have one key. didn't have any problems programing the remote. works perfect.

from my understanding two keys are only needed if you need to program the KEYS ... the fob- remote is a whole different story.
