Question

I would realy appreciate if someone can tell me how to reprogram the remote control for my 1999 ford focus. i have just bought the car and the remote had a flat battery and i had to change it. Now the remote does not work and needs to be reprogrammed and it is not in my little book. Any advice greatly recieved. Thank you.

Answer 1

Follow this procedure to program your factory remote transmitter for your Ford Focus:

1. Close all doors to make sure conflicting chimes do not sound during programming.
2. Turn the ignition switch from position I to position II four times within six seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to position 0.
4. A chime sounds and an LED will illuminate to indicate that the learning mode has been accessed and it is possible to program remote transmitters.
5. Within 10 seconds of the previous step, press any button on the remote transmitter being programmed until a chime is heard and the LED flashes. This indicates a new transmitter code has been successfully received.
6. After each successful remote transmitter programming, another 10 second learning mode is automatically entered, up to a maximum of four times.
7. To program additional remote transmitters, repeat step 5.
8. The system will exit the learning mode if the ignition switch is turned to position III, no new remote transmitter is programmed during the 10 seconds or if four remote transmitters have been programmed.
NOTE: An incorrect programming procedure does not affect the stored codes.

NOTE: A maximum of four remote transmitters can be programmed to the vehicle. Programming must be done at the same time for all the remote transmitters.

NOTE: Before entering the remote transmitter programming mode, make sure that the vehicle battery is fully charged and that the anti-theft system is not armed or triggered (if equipped).

Answer 4

I think you put the key off and on either 3 times or 4 times leaving it in the off position. Door locks should lock and unlock it you gain computer access, then press the lock on the remote. If it doesn't work, leave the key in the on position instead of off

Answer 8

Generally it is the car that has to be programmed to recognise the remote, and not the other way around.

This is usually a job for a main dealer only, for security reasons.

Answer 9

Their is no way to reprogram your remote. If you put in a new battery and it doesn't work then take it back to where you bought the car and make them buy you a new one. If you have to order one they are pricey so let them pay for it......good luck
