I can’t thank you enough, I was in panic mode when I couldn’t start my expedition. I watched several videos, they did not help until I watched your video!!! My expedition started right up!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@tristangriner3001]

Finally! I couldn’t find anything in the manual that mentioned where to put the key.

[@michaelvaldez249]

Could not find out how to charge the keyless fob! Went and watch 12 different videos and not one showed me where at..!!! But I chose this vid and it was a simple.

[@M.D.montreal]

May God bless you men, my sister she was panic with that problem , then I saw your video I send it to her then the car works, thank you soooooooo muuuuuuuchhhhh

[@Fhskai0386dw]

How long can I drive like this for?

[@user-sr5vb5ou9r]

I tried several times to start my car with dead key fob and no luck. Please help me

[@DanielGomez-cf6vk]

Replaced the battery both remotes battery dead simple repair on battery replacement

[@dimpleaustin3043]

My fob must not be totally dead cause I can lock and unlock the car AND start it from the fob but when I push to start it can't detect the fob

[@Lisaimette]

And what if that’s not working either???😅

[@joshm2243]

What camera setup do you use for your videos?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I use three cameras. Sony ZV1, GoPro Hero 8 and my IPhone 13z. In this video it was the phone.

[@joshm2243]

@@HowtoAutomotive Do you usually do pre-run of what you are going to film in order to make sure everything is in the shot, or that all the camera's are at the right angle?
I just got my Gopro and was going to start filming some of my suspension rebuild process on my Tacoma. All you guys makes these videos look easy to do.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

@@joshm2243 I may do a quick test shoot to make sure everything‘s in frame but other than that nothing special. I do all my zooming in and out in editing not with the camera. Unless it’s absolutely necessary.

[@joshm2243]

@@HowtoAutomotive Ah very interesting, I didn't know that you can adjust the zoom during editing. I am new to all this filming stuff. I always assumed it was atleast one or two cameras people were using and had one setup zoomed in and the other setup with a regular shot, then when they edited it they would cut and splice from each camera.
Mind if I ask what software you use for editing? I'm sure this is like everything else once you get the hang of it it's fairly easy from then on out.

[@WWG1WWGA]

How do you get the door OPEN????

[@HowtoAutomotive]

The key fob has a manual key built inside of it. You got a click a little switch on the back and pull the key out.

[@WWG1WWGA]

@@HowtoAutomotive thanks, but none of the fobs, or manual keys, worked bcuz my battery was dead! Shocking that even the manual keys wouldnt work, but Geico sent out a guy & he got it open! and running. 😍 P.S. Thank you!! bcuz of you, i found the hidden key in the fob & i never knew it was there.

[@Robert_Hayes91]

It still isn’t starting even when I do this

[@cduck3266]

Same! Happening right now. Did you figure out how to make yours work??

[@mdot6784]

What to do if this doesn't work?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Then it’s possible that you have a starter issue or something else going on and it will need to be diagnosed. it could be a security issue as well.

[@cduck3266]

​@HowtoAutomotive how do you tell if it's a security issue???

[@TosillKohut]

What’s the protocol when that doesn’t work to start it?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Start replacing the batteries in your key fob. After that it may require diagnostics.

[@TosillKohut]

Batteries were replaced when this first started happening. They lock, unlock, remote start, and pop the trunk.
About 80% of the time we get the ‘no key fob detected’ and the key is in the center console slot.

I have a 2013 with no pocket

[@davidrucker3120]

I have a 2013 also with a pocket. You have to look in the right place. I had this problem and it took forever to locate the pocket. It is in the front wall of the back pocket of the center console. Good luck.

[@rafaelmarin1963]

How did you unlock the door to get in the vehicle?,,,and then do the tip.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It has a keypad with a code

[@aliciamcgilloway3707]

@@HowtoAutomotive what if you don't remember or know they keypad code then how do you get in?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

@@aliciamcgilloway3707 On the key fob itself there’s a little tab you press it and pull out a mechanical key.

And the key doesn't work
