How Keyless Entry Works
Throughout the decades, keyless entry has gone from being a luxury only found on high-end models to a standard feature on a broad range of Ford vehicles. Most keyless entry systems consist of a key fob with a chip inside that constantly listens for special signals broadcast by your car. When the key fob is in range, pressing a button or placing your hand on the door handle triggers the vehicle to unlock or lock the door. Some vehicles even have sensors underneath the rear bumper that let you unlock the tailgate by simply waving your foot under the sensor.
Warning Signs of a Faulty Keyless Entry Fob
Keyless batteries can last a long time – but they won’t last forever. A typical keyless battery will last for around 3 to 4 years before needing replacement. As the battery inside your keyless entry fob ages, you may start seeing some of the following issues:
- Your key fob’s operating range slowly decreases, meaning you have to move closer just to use it properly
- Your key fob will sometimes work, but it doesn’t always work properly
- You’re unable to lock/unlock your doors or start your vehicle remotely
- Your vehicle doesn’t respond at all when using the key fob
