Hi all
Decided to stop lurking, and join the forum.
Purchased a 53 plate Transit Connect last week. 147k miles, 1.8TDci 90ps T200 version.
When purchased, it came with one aftermarket (non remote) key, which did the doors and the locks, and came with one well worn and rounded off original Ford key (non remote). The worn key will eventually lock/unlock the van and start the igntion with some playing about, but wanting some spare keys i have had two new three-button remote keys cut.
Heres the problem... I cannot for th elife of me get the van into the mode where i can add new keys (transmitter sync?) or the mode that lets me program new key fobs.
In theory i should be able to sync new key transponders, as i have two working keys. But of course they may be clone keys and do not count as the needed two seperate keys. So that could be the reason i cannot get into the sync mode for new keys.
But for the mode to program new key fobs, you only need one key. And i still cannot get it into the sync mode. I have tried the 8 times ignition switching from 0 to II, nothing happens. No beep, no flash, the locks dont cycle. Nothing at all. I have tried it 8 times in 10 seconds, 4 times in 5 seconds, ive tried it with door open and closed, with seatbelt on and off and tried it standing on my head, Nothing.
Someone please tell me they have had this trouble before and know exactly what the issue is.
Thanks in advance guys.
