OMG!!! Thank you so much for posting this vid!! You really helped me to verify if I was right about what could be the issue... but I didn't know how to open the Key FOB & I was worried that I would break the FOB. Saved me a trip to the dealer & kept me from paying an outrageous fee!!!

Do you by chance have any videos on how to update the GPS maps?

I just had to replace the batteries in my Mother's 2010 Taurus Limited. There was plenty of warning that the battery was getting weak since the remote had almost no range. Keep the videos coming.

Great video. Easy and to the point. Thanks

6 years later you saved my damn life I been working with that key for almost 2 hours until I found your video 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Great video! My local dealer wanted me to charge me $586 for new keys, due to a 'short in the keys'. However, my Edge would start fine with the key in the center console. It appears a new battery will resolve the problem.

WOW! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. So helpful!

Thank you, I wasn’t aware of the slot in the glove box... that’s huge to know about.

Backup slot for the key or the fob?

EXCELLENT INFO!

Ok so i have a question i just followed all these and what do you do now if the keyfobb still dont work

Thanks you for this great tip. Your awesome

Thanks alot my friend good help had the same issue just needed to change battery

Thanks for useful video

Good day, please for reasons I can't understand my Key fob & the spare (2012 Ford Taurus SHO) can't connect with my car just after parking which is weird. I can't even locate the back up transceiver slot of my car as it may not be in glove box as shown in your video here. Can you help please asap? Thanks.

thank you so very much for the tip,i.m having the same problem right now,"" no key detected"" mines a 2011 mks so I'll check the center console this A.M also how to open the transmitter to change the battery, saved me a tow to the dealer,20 miles away plus their labor, about $150 all together, thanks again

Can key fobs go bad? It unlocks and starts the car. But if it's not in the cubbie in the center counsel I get a "no key fob detected". I've replaced the key fob batteries and also checked the second fob which has no issues.

I have a 2011 MKX that recently did the "no key" thing. I operated the door lock button which worked and then it started! Can it be the battery if it actually operated the "lock" and then started?? Seems like something else going on!

Thank you this helped me just now!!!

Hey Mak Looking at a 09-10 do you suggest witch engine 3.7 or eco boost. I know you own an ecoboost. This purchase is for my mother. I really like the vehicle for her. But not looking for a maintenace nightmare. Would you recomed A used lincoln mks eco or base 3.7 ? Any insight would be appreciated? Thanks..

1. Glove Box Worked 2. NEW Batteries did not. So what else could it be to get both Fobs working again.???? Thanks

Hi, on my 2011 lincoln mkt the remote wont lock or unlock the doors but vehicle starts without any issues. What do you think that could be? Thanks in advance.

Any idea why im getting "key fob not detected" only when i use the remote start? It worked fine and then all ofca sudden it started doing this....i hadn't touched anything

thanks for the info. Unfortunately I just learned the proximity sensors in both of my fobs have gone bad, and I need to replace them (looking at $250 each). But at least I can drive the car while waiting for the replacements to come in. In hindsight, as cool as keyless entry and ignition go, they aren't worth the cost of replacement. If I lost or broke my other car's key it would cost at most $10 to replace. $250 is outrageous, especially in 2020.

Great channel. Not a lot of videos on the Lincoln MKS. Question about radio and satellite radio on this vehicle . Don't have the navigation. There is no sound. The Main unit and volume knob work fine. Changed all the fuses. Didn't help. As well is climate control turns on then off then back on it's own. Can't find much on the Internet about this.

I do not get a key fob detection error but my key does not lock/unlock the doors. What might the reason be?

I don’t know if you’ll read this comment because it’s an old video. I replaced the battery in the key fob. It started up but then said no key detected right after. Before I changed the battery it wouldn’t start up at all but got it to work a little for lock and unlock and even remote start. So not sure what is wrong with it.

Where does the backup key plug into?

How do you fix the receiver brah

I keep my key on a belt loop and the key in my back pocket. I have a 2013 MKS and occasionally I'll get a no key detected code. I just take it out of my pocket and hold it up and then the car will find it. Obviously not a low battery condition but sometimes will give me a no key found code. So if you get a code and your key is in your pocket or pursue that can cause it too.

Quick question. 2012 MKS. Shop tried to install remote start and could not get the pocket to do anything. Pocket seems to be dead, tried a remote without battery nothing. Replaced the pocket module, still nothing. Everything else works, remote, passive, entry, trunk. How can I trouble shoot just the pocket. thx

Why in the world do they need to do anything with the pocket? So your programmed key without battery in backup slot does nothing to start the vehicle.

FordTechMakuloco Well sir idk. This is a aftermarket auto starter with cell connection similar to on star. I took the installer at their word that the pocket does not work and they can't finish the install. I agree it was strange that they needed the pocket to program the keys. Maybe they clone the signal to their module. Never had to use the pocket so it was possible. Yes I took the battery out of the spare remote which I know works, no key detected when I use the pocket. Next step is I'm going to check voltage and continuity from pocket the the control module. I'm assuming it's the larger box behind the glove box. I do have access to the Chilton online manual which is awesome. By the way thanks for providing great videos and info.

Hi. Battery replacement (changed 2x just in case) did not help in my 2014 Buick Regal. Car does start if i put the fob in to the special slot but otherwise fob is not detected. Is there anything else that can be done please? Thanks!

Aha!!! No need to remove screws. Just slide right side of face up (side with 2032 written on it) battery into right side of oval hole and don't try to fit left side in. Just snap batt cover back on and then slide/snap in fake key!

Minor update of video. I can't speak for the MKZ but the Taurus at least for 2011-14 I can't specifically speak for 2010 but for 2011 and up Taurus at least the back up slot talked about that is in the glove compartment has been moved to the Center Console.

Yeah they finally got wise and put it closer to the driver and I am sure it will change locations again in the future.

I have found that the battery floats around in the very poorly designed slot and quite often does not make contact with one of its terminal points thus causing the "No Key FOB Detected" situation. Jarring the key FOB or taping it on something solid will fix the situation temporarily. A proper solution can only be resolved by finding some material that will push the battery sideways to make secure contact with the positive battery contact.

I am using CR2032 battery. The problem is not with the battery but the slot in which the battery should reside. The problem is there is no dedicated slot for the battery and it floats around when the cover is snapped in place. Any other device that I have seen that uses button batteries has an indented area, spring clips, clips with screws or some other method to positively hold the battery in place, thus my comment of "very poorly designed slot". Ford or whoever built this remote 'DID NOT HAVE A BETTER IDEA'.

Good to hear that.

Omg why talk so much tell me how to fix it

Mine wasn’t battery but this is how i fixed mine..had an issue with no key detected with my 2010 Ford Taurus Limited and even after new fob battery install. the fob would lock and unlock the doors but keypad wouldn’t work and when it came to push button start it would say no key detected. If I put fob in back up slot in center console it would start but once removed it wouldn't. I found the actual problem and it was a wire issue under driver seat. There is a bundle of wires that come from the bottom back center console on the front right of drivers seat which u can see just coming out of the carpet and that bundle is part of the Active antenna Module ( immobilizer)under center console and goes up and plugs into the Driver Seat module under the seat. Anyways if anyone else is having this problem still after new battery in fob and of course your car battery is fine try this, Lay your fob on the seat or on top of console by gear shifter or where ever and while the drivers door is open lean in and find that bundle of wires and lift up on those wires with one hand and with other hand start pushing the run stop button. If your car comes alive while doing this then that is the problem. I believe over time with motorized seat moving back and forth that bundle of wires is attached to bottom seat frame and it cause a wire in that bundle to start shorting out. again you will see that bundle of wires under drivers seat front right coming out of carpet ( if necessary move seat all the back to see those wires better) hope this helps someone having same issue and already replaced IA fob battery and still having issue
