2012 F250 XLT The remote door lock button on the fob seldom locks or unlocks the doors. both fobs work the same. Maybe after pressing the button 10 times the locks will unlock. Both fobs have new batteries installed. Any tricks of the trade out there? thanks |

do other funcions of the key fob work ?? I'd take the fob apart, remove the buttons, clean the PCB and btm of the buttons. ANY dirt,lint, gorf that gets in can 'cover' the switch contacts, giving iffy use....

good ideas jay. They were spanking clean in there when I changed the batts. Anyhow, thanks. in the mean time I asked google and he/she said to reprogram the fob. So I went out there and did the tap dance instructions and - - "slap the dog and spit in the fire" -- they work.

what do ya need door locks for on a Ford there's nothing about a Ford worth stealing ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Well Paul, if my heater was not in the console most of the time, I think I just may leave the keys in the ignition.  |

| Dave, glad you got them working. At the dealership we ordered quite a few new ones. Be prepared to order a couple. We got them on line but I dont remember where. |

How do you reprogram them? ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |
