A couple of little issues.
Actually with one issue I am not really sure if it is an issue or not but first:
Have you guys ever had a problem with your remote entry? I have noticed the last week or so that the car has been slow to respond when I hit the lock/unlock buttons on the key. Sometimes I have to be right up next to the car for it to work and at other times I can be 20 feet or more away and it will work. This morning it would not work even when standing next to the car. I had to use the key it self to unlock the car. I think I am going to take it to the dealer this afternoon sometime. Hopefully its just the key. The thing that I don't know is an issue or not is that when I hit the trunk release button it make a loud 'clunk' noise. Do you guys have this on your cars? this is one of the thing I didn't think to check on other mustangs at the lots when I bought the car. |
Have you tried your 2nd key fob to see if it acts the same? It could be a fob or battery issue. Yes, the trunk release solenoid is loud.
|
I have an issue where sometimes my trunk will not unlock when I dbl tap the trunk release. I have to either hit lock or unlock on the car to make the trunk open when this occurs. Sometimes its fine and others.....
|
Sounds like your key battery. Does it do the same with your spare key?
And yes, the trunk pop is quite loud. |
What everyone else says I think it is Battery^^^ also, Have you dropped your keys hard or got any water on them?
|
I don't think i have dropped them hard and I know I haven't had them in water..
I am like you guys think its a battery but the 'fob' for my 05 escape (I bought it new) still has the original battery in it and I can have it honk clear across a large parking lot. I know its not a big issue, just curious as I am surprised the battery could go dead so quickly (only had the car 3 months) One more thing. You guys have a hard time pushing the trunck release button? I can't get my darn thumb to fit in that little hole... |
I experienced the same problem a few days ago. I have not tried the other key yet. I have only had mine for a month.
|
Well I haven't taken it to the dealer yet becasue I can't reproduce the problem on demand.
After writing this thread, I walked outside and the car started responding to the FOB and has been since. I know something fishy is going on.... just can't get it figured out just yet. Must be Gremlins http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...2_restored.jpg |
Is the car by a lot of other cars, radio towers, anything that could be producing interference?
|
Never thought about interference. I guess that is possible but when it wasn't working I could hold the key right next to the car with the window down and nada.
