Part: Key

This video is currently unavailable

In this video we can see how to open the door of a Ford car even if the remote control is dead: in fact, if we lift the part with the Ford logo, levering on the sides of the shield, we find the emergency key inside. The lock is only on the driver's door handle, covered by a plastic cover, the same color as the rest of the handle.

We remove it and expose the lock: to turn it, we will use the remote control itself, which will serve as a handle. Now let's see how to change the battery.

Using the key, in the space left empty by the key, we lever in the narrowest part, until we lift the plastic cover. Underneath we find the button battery which is a common CR2032 that we can easily replace, paying attention to the polarity.
