Yet another Ford Focus Key Fob problem...

I have a Ford Focus Zetec Climate 2006 and quite recently my battery has ran out for the key fob. So I currently put the key in the door to gain entry, but upon doing so a warning beep sounds and if i dont turn the ignition to RUN the alarm will sound. Anyway i bought a new battery and replaced the old one hoping it would work. not the case. So now i have a new battery, but still no remote access, plus it still makes the beeping upon opening the door. i tried reprogramming the key fob by following the help on this topic: http://www.fixya.com/cars/t2289645-key_fob_not_working_after_battery_change and i got the chimes, even upon pressing the button on the key fob so surely that means the battery is working in the key fob? however still nothing happens when i press the buttons to lock or unlock the doors. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Stephen.

2010 Ford Focus keyless entry quit working

Here are a few things to try and get your Ford Key Fob working again:

1) Change the battery
Batteries don't last forever, you'll be surprised how often it's just a dead battery! Click here for a video on how to open a GM key fob, or search our YouTube channel on how to change a battery for your specific year, make, and model!

2) Wipe the board
The board inside your remote can get a lot more filthy than you think! When the board is dirty it can prohibit the contact to the circuit board when you push down on the button. Simply wiping the circuit board off can make your key fob like new again!

3) Get it checked
Go to your local hardware store like AutoZone or Oreilly's. They usually have a RF frequency tester. This little gadget will let you know if your key fob is sending a signal. If it is, you may need to reprogram your key fob to your vehicle

4) The old car battery reset trick
I know this sounds absurd, but it works sometimes and is worth trying. If you exhausted all of the options above, disconnect both terminals on your car battery for 10 minutes. Then reconnect them and try your key fob. This has worked for many people and I have no idea why. If you do, please comment below to explain.

5) New fob!
It might be time for a new key fob! No need to dread over the expensive costs of a new key fob, at Keyless Entry Remote Fob Inc., you can get a refurbished one for a very affordable price! You won't even be able to tell the difference. Just search your vehicle make, model, and year to find your key fob or give us a call at 402-671-5100.
