dead fob emergency

[Thirty-Two]

Also in an attempt for me to try to diagnose and help out a bit, is the car giving any response at all? Like is Sync coming on, are the amber parking lights flashing when you open the door, does the panic and door lock system work? It could be as simple as the car battery went dead, which in that case a jumpstart and then push bump could work. If not unfortunately it could mean you have a loose wire somewhere along the ignition system or your immobilizer, a piece that works in conjunction with the ignition, keys, and security system, is fried, among other things. And in this case I don't believe push starting would work anymore. This was a sort of minor issue with FiST back in 14 when they were still working out kinks in the system.

At this point, yeah call ford.

no I am currently not in possession of the fob ony the emergcy key thing. my girlfriends has the fob. because you work at ford can you tell me which part of the fob exactly is the transmitter? iv been looking up ford fob disassembly and cant find it. wen I get my fob back from my gf I want to take out the chip or w.e that starts the car so I can hold it up to the column and start it and then close it back up again without the chip and give it back to her. long story short I had a couple beers one night and shes being an incredibly overbearing 'chick' for lack of a better word lolol

*worked at a dealership a while ago* But yeah, I got you, shes just trying to protect you. As soon as you get back the whole fob, attempt to hold it up as pictured.

If it still does not work, you can try to take it apart if you wish but I've never fully taken apart one myself but there should be a small RFID chip at the end of the fob.

The below image shows the proper way to get the car to read the 'passive' RFID from the fob.

What happened to the second fob?

I wish they made some kind of Manual that they could give Owners that would outline things like this...

 

[Zormecteon]

Where do you hear this? I've heard several people say this but I see no key slot.

I think there is NO key slot. Use your spare fob? It came with two. Other than that you'll have to replace the battery. If you can't get to the store to get one, you'll have to phone a friend or take a taxi.

Let see I think everyone has this wrong.He is willing to to drink and drive.He wants the fob so he can take the chip out and hand her back the fob and he can use the car whenever after that.She is protecting him and others.Get it?
