Title: keyfob not tuning in
Post by wickedteen on Oct 3^rd, 2006, 7:49pm

today i wrote off my 1996 cossie, some thingy decided to turn in front the acr in front of me so i ploughed her up the backside at about 6mph, completely tolalled the front, any way, ive still got my 1994 cossie estate so i decided to use the keyfob from the 1996 on the 1994, but for some reason it will not tune in, any one have any ideas, the old ones used to work then both stopped and i couldnt tune the in, so i pressumed they were dead but now this has happened maybe its something on the car.

Have a read of THIS (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/remote.htm) and see if it helps. Note the TWO methods mentioned.

Blimey mate, 6 or 60mph? were you hurt?

Someone nearly hit me up the rear last night, never realised how good the brakes on the Scorpio were before, he went into a skid and ended up beside me; luckily he missed the car, people drive WAY too close on fast roads...

we had both just pulled on to the roundabout, i was about 15ft away but couldnt avoid it as the speed was so slow the abs didnt work, i just slid straight forward, no one hurt though, the insurance shall now go through the roof

Don't know if it's me, but I STOP for amber lights going to red, and twice recently, I have almost had some stupid ******* almost into the back of me, flying down at high speed obviously intent on jumping them.

You can then see them muttering away to themselves waiting for the lights to change, obviously angry that they didn't get through.

But then.........

Maybe the Tow Bar is a big deterrent!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hope you get your fob working. :D
