- After the van had been to the body shop for repair it had been off the road for about a month and the remote key stopped working how to repair
Because the van hadn’t been used the remote key had become flat, it took some heat and a good charge to bring it back to life.
if this does not work I have a updated video on stripping down the key and repairing the connection. follow the link at the end of the video or click • Ford Transit Connect K...

This is fantastic, warmed my key on the radiator until fairly hot to touch and it came alive, great tip to get you out of trouble but the long term solution is to resolder a battery in yourself,,, fairly simple task once you get into the fob.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you! Spent 20 minutes trying to get in the bugger!
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Im going through this craic now, but the heat idea sounds great 👍 👌 gonna try that asap... thanks
This is the next step th-cam.com/video/V1dLAxt1v0s/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
You can open these up with circlip pliers but then you just need to superglue it back together again.done this myself..you can then get to the circuit board if you need to solder or even change the battery!
Thanks for the great information 👍🏻👍🏻

Dropped my key last month smashed open to pieces just put it back together and it wouldn't open up. Left it running with the key in for 10 mins good as gold 😊
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you for the advice I was having trouble with my key

0:39 There might be the end of a clip about there then enables opening the key. This looks similar to a Focus key. I have the blue key for the previous Transit, someone else had luck with an induction charger. The only one he had charges his toothbrush.
Mine has water in it.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
If you go into your display settings and make sure 'global unlock' is seleceted under 'locks' the key will open all doors. You may have to tern it to the left twice within a few seconds. To lock all doors and set immobiliser turn to right twice in a few seconds..
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for the video, but you can in fact open the key and change the battery, although most of the times when you open them it’s that the wire has simply moved inside, and that is the cause, and the remote will start straight away.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Not quite right mate.
If you open the key and put a screwdriver in between the actual key and the plastic it pops the seal. You then carefully work round the key. You need to watch as there is a spring that pops out when you half it. The battery can then be changed.
Now putting in back together needs the old glue heated and cleaned off, small amount of a decent plastic glue to seal again.
The spring fits in a small pin that sits in the middle of the key (real pain in the arse) the second half of the key has a small section that catches to top of the spring and twists it into place. Add the glue and close. Can take a couple of tries. As usual timpsons seems the place to take it to
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Excellent video - short and concise
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
You can change the battery, there’s literally videos online showing you how to do it.
Yes I did it in this video th-cam.com/video/V1dLAxt1v0s/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I modify another remote to go with 2016 to 2019 transit custom , u can change battery :)
I also found a way to replace the battery if needed the video isth-cam.com/video/V1dLAxt1v0s/w-d-xo.html ,Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank You!

Get your 12V batteries checked out by an expert first before doing anything. I've just got off the carousel of "try this, then try that", all to no avail. Changed key battery, changed key receiver around the ignition...made no difference. One battery was stuffed but was being 'masked" by the good battery helping out. The two batteries under the seat are wired in parallel, one primary for cranking and the other primarily for ancillaries/accessories including the central locking. All error messages gone, remotes work just like brand new!! Starts every time!!!
this battery tester works & is Great value, Link to the Topdon Bt200 Battery Tester amzn.to/3JJ5hX4 Apply 10% off code 9H7HJ7HN when checking out.

I use my key daily. It's still died. Won't charge.
You can take the button's off the fob, sadly doesn't reveal anything. Two little plastic tabs where the key flips from. Pop those and the buttons come off.
Quickly double turn the key left to open all doors. You'll hear the back doors unlock.
Thanks for the comments, 👍🏻👍🏻
My key was dead as well but the problem was the 2nd battery in the car. After changing the car battery, the key is charging again and works like new. So you may try this. It was cheaper than ordering a new key!
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
how many batteries the van has?
My van has 2. The second one is under the drivers seat and is responsible for the electronics.
@@alprochaz and where is the 1st one? I thought that's the main battery under the seat
Ok I may be wrong. Maybe I understood the guy wrong. I thought there is one in front as usual and the one under the seat is the second one. Sorry.
I have a problem with my alarm on the transit. I turn the ignition on and the alarm goes off. I turn the ignition off and it stops??? Is this the key fob????
I suspect it will be a poor connection somewhere, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Same problem with my key, fords wanted £330 for a new key....................
I'm gonna try to put the key on the radiator to see if i can get it back to life.............
Worth a try get it nice and warm.👍🏻👍🏻
Ford are crazy

Can donthem for £125
These key fobs can be opened if you use a pair of circlip pliers
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Double turn the key in the driver's door keyhole will open and lock all doors on the van.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I find that if you turn it twice quickly it locks or unlocks the back manually..
Thanks that’s great information 👍🏻👍🏻
Barrels in locks are knackered, probably haven’t been used in 10 years. Battery in fob is dead, no issues with connection of battery to rest of key. Van hasn’t moved in 4 months. 🤬🤬
nightmare, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I just drove from Cornwall to Chester. Approx 300 miles..? Parked up and got out of the van. Went to click the button on the remote and nothing happened. Tried again. Failure. So have had to resort to manually locking the Van. Drove back to Cornwall and still no charge in key fob. Again. Manual locking. Next day I opened up the key fob. It has a 3v 2020 coin battery in it. Next problem is that the battery is sealed to a flimsy metallic connector. So it isn't a simple case of changing the 2020 coin battery. Ford dealer priced me up a new one at £120.....Then said it would have to be electronically matched up between key & vehicle. Cost, approx £70.....!
Seen battery on internet with attached flimsy metallic connection for £6.99. Simple soldering job, then glue the fob back together as it doesn't simple just click and lock back into place.
Thanks for the great information, I made a update video th-cam.com/video/V1dLAxt1v0s/w-d-xo.html
This is similar to what you have done, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
My key stopped working a few weeks ago. I regularly do long drives so it can't be a lack of charging. Tried briefly warming it with no luck. Anyone else had a similar thing? Granted it does get batterd in my pocket all day so may just be completely dead 💀
if this does not work I have a updated video on stripping down the key and repairing the connection. click th-cam.com/video/V1dLAxt1v0s/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I have had a few of these keys go on me before. What normally happens is one of the solder joints from one of the battery terminals snaps. Buy a key replacement on Ebay and transfer the transponder from old key shell to new key shell. I think thats why when he warmed the key it just made a connection again to the solder joint.
So what about my spare, it’s been in a box for 3 years now, I’m guessing that’s useless now. Not tried it but probably won’t work.🤷🏻♂️
Might be ok, give it a try, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
How is everyone physically getting in the van with the key ?!? My key only locks the van it doesn’t open it !
The back comes off the fob, and there is a key blade in there to open the door, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Similar key to a BMW there is companies out there who will charge you and put you a new battery in.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Induction phone qi charger does it
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 put your phone on it to turn it on then sit the key on the phone
These keys are exactly the same as the crap blue remote keys. The problem is the lithium cell fails. Unlike the blue remotes, there is currently no repair cases available. I have seen some people trying to use a Focus key shell. These require lots of modification to get the circuit board in and the shell to close properly. Anyone who needs a new key can contact me. I do these genuine Ford Transit sealed keys for £165 + vat.
Thanks for the great information 👍🏻👍🏻
The title doesn't make sense.
