Hello,
Am I facing a major problem 
My car is parked and I can't open it 
I tried the key and the remote with new batteries, it doesn't open.
There are some telltale switch on on the dashboard, the alarm led is still blinking and switch of when I press the remote control button.
Please help at least getting in.

Have you tried the key in the boot or other door, or try a spare key

Yes of course I have tried all doors and the boot as well.
I am getting desperate...I had to get a lift home
I am now going to try my spare key but I doubt it will work as they're supposed to be the same...

Thanks but I just tried the spare key, it still doesn't work...
By the way I only have 2 keys, I have not been given a red key by the car dealer when I purchased it (is this normal ? )
I will try the WD40 trick and will let you know...
thanks anyway

You dont have another Ford in the family do you?
I ran into a problem where I was using the wrong set of keys, in fact the old set from my Mk3. You can lock the car with an incorrect Ford key but it will not open again until you use the right one.
Just read the bit about you having to get a lift home, so I guess you had the right keys when you drove there in the first place.

Hi,
I don't have any other keys at home So it can't be the problem. This morning I tried WD40, it wasn't success again.
The breakdown services didn't do it neither and now the car is with Ford.

You've obviously read my fun and games with this sketch!
Not really sure what happens but the red key was our only way in. The system was then reset by a dealer and a new key set fitted (Bonds of Pocklington 01759 303225)
Not much of an answer but you certainly have my sympathy!
Stu

you have my sympathy mate, happened to me last year.
left the estate at Newcastle airport whilst on honeymoon...returned to this s#ithole country on a freezing cold windy day having left Alcudias hot sun shine to find the locks wouldn't open with the key and the remote wasn't working...d**n.
so I said to the wife...pick a window...lifted up the beath towel and put out the rear passenger window, stuffed the cases in through the window !!! I crawled in, alarm blarring and let the passenger window down, stuffed the wife in through the window and drove home with the indicators flashing and horn sounding.
2 days later went to Ford and bought new lock set, £70 and fitted them, Ford reprogrammed at a cost of £50 so job sorted. I checked the microfische, I had a relpacement window in the shed so that sorted that.
reading this forum it looks like Scorps sieze their door locks as a common fault so 1 day when the remote doesn't work...bang ...no getting in.
mind, did another Scorp same problem, and drilled the pass lock 8mm to start finishind with a 10mm, and when the drill bit went through lock, click, it triggered centrl locking and car opened. Only took 10 mins or so to drill out with my 18v dewalt cordless, so a thought for someone stuck....
