You will either need the dealer to replace the lock set and reprogram the system or a well equipped locksmith.

SOURCE: problem with ford explorer alarm imobiliser

You should have a switch under the dash and then just turn it to the off position. If you don't or it doesn't work (like mine) then, there is 2 fuses under the dash, put the key in the ignition and turn it forward, pull one of the fuses out and then start the car that should reset it. Then you should be able to put the fuse back. Sometimes if you put the fuse back before starting it the alarm will just continue to try and reset itself, but not start the car. If that doesn't work I have a mechanic who can pull the whole alarm out and when hes done it would look like nothing has ever been installed. Hes very good. I ended having him take my alarm out when I had the same incident happen after the 2nd time.

SOURCE: Drivers power lock will not unlock with remote.

the door lock actuator is defective, they get really hard to move when they go bad, that is why the difficulty with the key.

SOURCE: Ford F150 remote key does not work after car battery

Should not have happened,
For the Factory RKE ( Remote Keyless Entry ) have you tried reprogramming the key fobs to your truck. The procedure is in the owners manual ( need all of them at programming time ).
This is stored in NVR, and should not need to be done, but worth a try.

If this is an aftermarket Remote start / alarm, check the owners manual for t on battery replacement. Have seen some off brand with strange battery ( truck's battery that is ) replacement steps.

Try re-setting the computer...Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and leave off for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the computer to reset. The charger may have interupted the signal or something.

I have a 2000 Ford Taurus and neither the "actual" key nor the key fob work... I have replaced the key fob battery and now cannot get back in my car ... help

You need to have a mobile lock smith check it out , before changing the key fob battery did it unlock the vehicle ? Your actual key doesn't unlock the doors? Replacing the fob battery has nothing to do with it,it doesn't lose it's unique RF signal . you need a lock smith or depending where you at, tow truck drivers have the tools to open the vehicle,

Key problem, I don't have a spare key and the key is not opening the door. The opening button on the key is very dead, please help me

First, the key"fob" has a battery inside. Any parts store should be able to help you replace it. Second, you should be able to insert the key into the door lock to manually unlock door. If car's battery is dead, most doors will let you insert the key and turn as far as it goes, Then operate the door handle and turn the key a bit more to unlock it.

How to re-start my car after anit theft light has come on?

you need a full charged battery or battery replaced [if battery bad and not holding charge] your remote key fob will not work if battery is dead or to weak to start car but key should be able to manually open drivers door --if its not an original key new cut or worn down [may have to jiggle in door ] your anti theft/security lock will come on when you use key in door than you have a few seconds after you open door to put key in ignition and turn to on position before alarm goes off but you need to get battery issue corrected first if key still doesnt work may need to have assistance [slimjim]lock to get in

Cant unlock car while battery is dead

The driver's door lock is a mechanical linkage, not electric. Turn the top of the key toward the front of the vehicle. If it will not open, there is a mechanical problem in the door; your local AAA tow company can break in with a "slim jim".
