I have the 2013 vw jetta 2.5 and Disconnecting the battery for a few minutes fixed mine as well. Unfortunately i took it to the dealership before i found this video and had to pay $125 diagnostic fee for them to tell me they couldn't figure it out but thier recommendation was i needed a new reader coil at the cost of another $565. I found this while i was waiting to hear back from them and told them no on that service. Thank you for the video you saved me some money and a huge headache!

On Christmas Eve morning, we were starting our 2 hour drive home and stopped to get gas and road trip goodies. We got back into the car and it wouldn’t start for “No Key Detected.” We took the batteries out of the fob, looked through the manual (didn’t look good enough, I guess) and eventually resorted to the Internet where we found this video. Skeptical about the fix being as easy as a hidden pocket in our console but willing to try anything, we put the fob in and pushed the Start button. It started! It’s a Christmas miracle - haha!

Thanks for the video. This is the 4th time I have had this issue on our 2015 Edge. First two times the Dealer couldn't find anything, 3rd time, they replaced the battery in the vehicle. I have replaced the batteries in the FOBs several times. I get the "No key detected error" at times then I get the "Press the brake error" all of the time now while I am actually pressing the brake. I have tried placing the FOB into the "by-pass" slot with no luck. I will try to pull the battery cables off at lunch. If that doesn't work, my next decision will be to decide on what wall to bang my head against.. Any ideas what would fix the vehicle?

Sorry you are having a rough time with your vehicle. My best guess and it purely a guess, since everything you listed has been done, the only thing that remains that I can think of would be some type of electronic or computer component in the car. If it is that, hopefully it is a warranty repair. Since this happened in my car, I have not had many or any issues like I was prior to disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. The issues I did have after resetting everything were likely because I walked too far from the car with the keys. In which case it was responding properly. Best of luck, hope the reset remedies your issue or that it is a warranty repair.

Had this issue with my 2010 Taurus Limited Intelligent Access Key( push button start) so I changed the fob battery and the car battery and still kept getting no key detected. Well i ended up finding the problem and it was the wiring harness under drivers seat. My driver seat moves every time i get in or out of car and that harness moves also since its clipped to bottom of seat and over time it caused a wire to sort. This harness comes from the center console to the bottom front of driver seat and its part of the cars immobilizer module that under center console. I found the short by luck and by putting my hand under seat and moving harness and when it moved the right way it registered my key and started

I have a 2014 Lincoln MKS. I have an intermittent problem with both keys. I have new batteries in both fobs. Sometimes, I cannot open the locks with the touch sensor, sometimes I can. I can unlock the car with the fob from 30-40 feet away, so it has a good signal. When I get into the car again sometimes, I get the "No Key Detected" Error. When this happens, while sitting in the car, I use the fob to unlock/relock the car doors and it usually starts right up afterwards. I do not have any issues starting the car (when the key is detected), so I do not think my car battery is going out. I will disconnect the batty to reset the system, but I do not think this is the problem since it is intermittent. I disconnected the auto battery and place it on a trickle charger to top it off (suggested from another video). After 5 hours, I cleaned the terminals and hooked everything back up. Did not fix. I have the same issues with both keys. Suggestions, thanks.

Checked the car battery? Or did you disconnect the car battery for a few minutes? If you checked the fob battery, disconnected the car battery for a few minutes, then it is possible you might have to reprogram the key. If you have a spare key, try using the spare and see if the issues persist with the spare key.

I have a Nissan Altima 2014. I thought I lost the original key fob but after purchasing a generic one weeks later I found my original one but that one is no longer working how can I reprogram to go back to the original key fob because that one allows me to start the car roll down the windows from in the house.

Make sure your key Fob battery is good. Your car battery has an "acceptable range" for its specs of CCA (cold cranking amps) and physical size that will fit in the car. Along with some other things. But, the CCA and physical size are the most common concerns. Top or side post doesn't make a difference. All that matters there is getting the same post style battery so you don't have to change connections.

In some cases you are correct. But, not all cases. It is extremely difficult to know all makes and models reactions with radios/anti theft when replacing/disconnecting the battery. But, I can tell you 100% for certain, 2010 Lincoln MKT has no loss of radio stations and no adverse reactions with any anti theft. This is also true for 2018 Chevy Silverado, 2019 Toyota Highlander, 2008 Jeep Patriot, 2013 Chevy Malibu, 2009 For Escape, 2012 GMC Acadia and Many other cars. 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, you do run a risk of losing radio stations and triggering the anti theft system.

Try testing the battery in your key fob at a local auto parts store. The key fob batteries only last 1.5 - 3 yrs depending on use. Even a weak fob battery can cause the issue.

One ? If my keys where lost and e new key was program if I find my original will it still work. Thank you for your time

I am not 100% certain. But, in my opinion, your original key should still work as it always has. The keys are programmed to the car. So any key that is programmed to the car should theoretically always work with that car. Hope this answers your question 🙂

Unfortunately without your key, your only option is a tow truck to get it home or to a dealership/mechanic. The dealership can likely make you a new key based off your VIN number. A mechanic can possibly replace your whole ignition tumbler. But, if you need the original key for anything else (trunk, doors, gas cap ect.) you will still need the original key. So, best advice if your car is not already at home, get it towed to your Nissan dealership of choice and have them make you a key... Better yet, 2 keys. If the car is at home, get your VIN #, call the dealership and tell them your VIN and request a key. This may take one day... or 5 or 10? It just depends on what their process is and what they need to do.

You can try it. It will not hurt anything. It is the same as replacing your battery when it is dead. My daughter has a grand prix that the anti theft warning kept coming up on. The key was bad. We used one of her spare keys with no issues. The only thing the bad key is good for now is unlocking the doors.

I have a question currently diagnosing a 2014 ford explorer no crank no start. When i try to start it nothing happens only the background light is on in the dash, replaced the battery and still wouldnt start, althought before replacing the battery all lights on the dash was blinking. Do you what the issue might be?

Well, I haven't heard this one. Sounds like it loses recognition of the key while you're driving, correct? It certainly won't hurt to follow this method in the video. It is no different than changing your car battery. If it does not work, you likely have a deeper issue that may require a dealership or good mechanic.

key bro! crazy this was the first video I've watched, very brief, my 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.3 v6 AWD, the key goes in the ignition but won't turn not even to the on or acc position. It's been 3 days we had a cold snap of -42 no problems really not sure if you have caa or Ama here in Canada, but they are booked like three days ahead and correspondence is how i have had to deal with them. I read the manual it said the same thing about the batter, my immobilizer or theft system which I have never had a problem with is why I searched out a video like this. Another way to reset I read was taking out the fuse for the immobilizer would reboot the system, but if this sounds like your method would work that would be great. Let me know if going to where my car has been parked the last three days and taking the positive and negative off like you did for 5 min and putting it back should do the same thing. So glad you made this video kinda excited to try it tomorrow been without a ride sucks and the day it just stopped never did anything different than I usually do and this came to be, and! the next day I was cleared to drive for Uber so that sucked that I haven't been able to do that. By the way the temp her last night was -30 and has dropped now to - 10 and minus 2 tomorrow so if you could respond back to me that would be solid. Cheers, for now, thank God for people like you making these vids dealerships make to much money.

I am not 100% positive that this will work for your vehicle or not. Sorry you are having troubles. What I will say is, I know it won't hurt anything. This method is no different than actually changing your car battery all together. The battery is disconnected for about the same time and the vehicle resets many things when you change the battery. I don't have much experience with foriegn cars (I am more familiar with Ford, GM and Chrysler). But a few other people with foriegn cars have found success with this method. Crossing my fingers this works for you as well!

One other thing you might try is a different key. I know some cars with anti theft sometimes "forget" which key goes to the car. If that happens you need to have the key reprogrammed or order a new key from the dealership using your VIN#. If you try with your second/spare key and the car works, try with your normal key again. If the normal key still doesn't work, you need to reprogram/replace that key. Hope things go smooth and easy and you get back on the road ASAP!

Did you get it fixed

Ive exhausted all other options so might as well ask here too.. We're having this issue with a 2015 Ford Focus SE and it keeps getting no key detected even though its got a physcial key. When it happens 3 other issues all come up at the same time, doors wont lock/unlock, blinker wil randomly stay on after completing a turn, and the hill climb assist disables.. All within a span of about 10 minutes these will all happen. The only fix seems to be D/c battery but the issue just eventually comes back within a day.. Brought to a mechanic and they checked battery, charging system, and electrical and couldnt find any problems. OF COURSE the issue wouldnt happen for them for the 4 days they had it so they were unable to replicate the issue and troublehsoot with it happening.. Any suggestions please! We've replaced the battery in the key fob as well just in case..

Is your Focus included in a "Door Latch Recall"? The dealership should be able to confirm that with just a phone call and your VIN#. A faulty door latch could cause the won't lock/unlock issue. For the "no key detected" since you said you have a physical key, I assume you do NOT have push to start? If you do not have push to start, do you have a spare of the physical key? If so, try the spare and see if the problem persists. Physical keys for that car still have a chip that transmits a signal when needed. If that chip is malfunctioning OR the vehicle has an electrical system issue, it can cause the no key detected issue. There is also potential that the keyless entry module is starting to go bad. Are you the only owner of the vehicle since it was new? Has it ever been in an accident? If you bought the car used, did it have a "rebuilt" title? If the car was in a serious accident, that can cause MANY little electrical and mechanical gremlins even after it was "repaired". For the hill climb assist... This also could have many gremlins to chase. Could be as simple as the Brake Light Switch needed to be replaced. That switch might affect your turn signal staying on to? It sounds like you have more than one issue affecting multiple areas of your vehicle. That is why I asked if it was in any accidents. I don't think you will get lucky enough to have a "quick fix" on this. I think you have many frustrating days ahead trying to chase and resolve these issues.

Trying this with my Ford Focus se 2015…. I’ll be back to confirm

Sorry to hear this. My best suggestion to find out how to "reprogram" your key Fob. It should be in your owners manual if you have that. Otherwise KZread will likely have a decent video on fob programming.

I just drove the car 6 hours ago, and I found that it would not start this morning. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery terminals did not fix my problem. Getting no key detected error. But sometimes the car starts no problem. Already had a new key made and programmed... That wasn't the problem either.

It sounds like there is a deeper problem. I know that you had a key made already, but make sure the battery in the fob is good. Otherwise, you are likely looking at possibly needing the dealership to diagnose/fix the issue.

Should ALWAYS remove the negative terminal from battery first,then you remove the plus. By the way why remove the positive at all? Only need to remove the negative to brake the circuit,and it is safer to do it like this. 100% sure!!
