Hello all,
My 2004 Marauder's two factory keyfobs operate only when the ignition switch is in position 4 or 5 (see attachment; position 3 is the "off" position). After nearly ten years of owning this wonderful machine, the issue started happening yesterday after arriving home.
I have since replaced both fobs' batteries and attempted to reprogram them both via the programming procedure described in the owner's manual (attached) and via steps described in other posts on this fantastic site, but to no avail. The only "action" that occurs after conducting the manual-described procedure is the following:
- When I press the brake pedal, the locks "activate" and move to the "locked" position.
In addition, and simultaneous to, this keyfob issue, the following phenomenon also has begun taking place:
- Key removed from ignition.
- Passenger-side door opened.
- Automatic lock button pressed.
- All door locks proceed to locked position, then, one second later, unlock. This is the locking procedure that normally occurs when the key is left in the ignition.
Any leads to help resolve and solve this dual mystery would be greatly appreciated.
Update #1: I've made an appointment with my wizbang former Ford mechanic; will revert after he assesses the issue.
