Title: remote locking
Post by ksh64 on Aug 21^st, 2005, 8:33pm

i bought a 2litre ,95 ultima but remote locking does not work.Also,the red light on the dash seems inoperative when using the key.Should i automatically try new batteries first,or does it sound more sinister?

KSH,
The two things are not connected.

First, the remote. Check the batteries with a digimeter and check for 3v on both. If they are low, buy new ones, otherwise try programming the remote shown on http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/remote

Next, look at http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/pats - this should show whether you have a problem with the antiftheft system, but normally if there was a problem with a key the car wouldn't actually start at all.

hi there

re the red light. sometimes it 'falls' down into the dash. what you see is a red cap, the real light is about 1" below connected with a tube.

i have replaced the remote control batteries and it now works.Also,the control light does work.The remote is a bit temperamental but at least it works sometimes.
