When you open it from the outside? If this is the case, try putting your key in the drivers door and turning it, whether it is locked or not. I have seen many people who keep their key fob in their pocket have all kinds of issues. So, don't keep your key fob in your pocket. If it is doing it from the inside after driving, that's a different story. It all depends on the specific conditions, if you would like to elaborate.
if the doors open and lock using the key, the most likely cause is dirt in the switch of the key fob. the fobs pick up dust and dirt while they are in pockets and bags and if this gets inside the switch it can stop it working. it can usually be cured by opening up the fob and spraying the switches with an electrical switch cleaning spray readily available from hardware and electrical stores
Location of Keyless Code on Computer Module of Ford F250 Superduty (
2009 )
Finding this code seems to be a common problem, so, here is a better
answer to save you the time I spent locating the sticker on the computer
module that shows the keyless entry code.
One owners from 2008 F150 XLT Superduty tell me and I suspect the location for a F150
would be very near same location as on a F250
The computer module is mounted high on the firewall approximately behind
the a/c fan speed control knob. Here is how to find it / get to it:
1. Remove the large cover under the steering column that covers the fuse
block. You'll need to reach in under the dash, with your left arm, to
the right of the steering column and left of center to move stuff to get
a clear view.
2. Open the storage pocket door on the lower edge of the dash (right of
the steering column) and squeeze the back side of the storage pocket to
allow the stops to pass to the front. This will allow the opening to be
clear to see the computer module up in the dash. Shine your flash
light through this opening.
3. Move the first piece of white insulation to the side to see the
firewall. Look up through the pocket door, moving the wiring harnesses
aside if necessary. You'll find a second white insulation wrapped
snugly across the computer module. When you push the insulation up to
see the flat surface, you see the 5 digit number printed up-side-down in
black on a white sticker. This is your keyless entry code.
Instructions for Programming Keyless Entry Code (from the 2008
Owner's Manual)
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
You can use the keyless entry keypad to lock or unlock the doors without
using a key.
The keypad can be operated with the factory set 5–digit entry code; this
code is located on the owner’s wallet card in the glove box, is marked
on the computer module, and is available from your authorized dealer.
You can also create your own 5–digit personal entry code.
When pressing the controls on the keypad, press the middle of the
controls to ensure a good activation.
Programming a personal entry code
To create your own personal entry code:
1. Enter the factory set code. The driver door will unlock.
2. Within five seconds press the 1 • 2 on the keypad.
3. Enter your personal 5-digit code. Each number must be entered within five seconds of each other.
4. The doors will lock then unlock to confirm that your personal keycode
has been programmed into the module.
Tips:
• Do not set a code that uses five of the same number.
• Do not use five numbers in sequential order.
should not be using fob buttons for entry or locking for emergency only .if keyless entry walk up to car with fob do not press any buttons see if door opens then walk away from car with fob about 20m then go back to car without fob and see if door locked if so all working fine .indicators will not flash if the above dont work take back to main dealer for diagnostics keys may need to be reprogrammed
To program the fob; close all doors, unlock with door switch, turn key from off to on (without starting car) 8 times, ending in the on pos, the locks should lock and unlock then press the lock button on the fob, turn the key back. That should do it, if you get nothing, replace the battery in the fob. The keypad code is only retrievable through a scan tool. The dealer will charge a half hour to do that even though it takes less than 5 mins.
dont blame the idiot,we all make stupid mistakes without thinking and iam no exception,remove door trim and oil the solonoid with a oil can not a silly sunday mechanic spray and let it soak in as its working but i think its just a bit sticky with wear and dirt ingress hence it locks but doesnt unlock which might need a bit more power,oil the whole lot lock and all
