mondeo key battery central locking - peteses
My friend has an 02 mondeo 2.0 zetec. He says that the remote fob no longer activates the cental locking so he has to manually use the key in drivers door which will then activate the central locking ok. He has replaced the battery in the key fob but this has not changed the situation. However, his local Ford dealer says that he needs to have the key reprogrammed now that he has fitted a new battery? Can anyone confirm if this is likely to put things right or is there something else we could try first?

Try turning the key to ignition II and then off again 4 times in quick succession.

The car shoud beep, press the lock button I think, then it should beep again, and then the unlock button (I think!) it should beep again and then ignition on.

That *should* work.
