Hi joined not long ago, hasn't taken long for me to need help! Hope somebody can help me with this. I have a 97 P38 4.6HSE and the fob has just stopped working. It worked fine this morning and then when I went out a few minutes later... nothing. So I changed the batteries and tried resync, holding lock button down turning key to lock and holding 5 seconds, taking key out. Nothing, so then tried EKA code nothing! The light on the fob flashes when pressing the buttons so does that mean the fob is ok? I am stuck now any suggestions? Would be greatly appreciated!

this is what is in my book
1 doors locked to start
2 turn key to unlock {towards the front of vehicle}the number of times to enter the first diget of the code
3 turn the key to the lock position the required number of times to enter the second digit of the code
4 turn the key to the unlock position the required number of times to enter the third digit of the code
5 turn the key to the lock position the required number of times to enter the fourth digit of the code
6 finally turn the key once more to the unlock position
if you forget your place in the sequence of key operations and therefore do not complete a code. open and shut the door and start entering the code again {this will not count as a failed atempt}

Re-synching the remotes for cars about your one's age is simply to put the key in the ignition. The led flashes 3 times and that's it. Do you have the second key - that one's the same? The other, older way of resynching is to insert key in the door lock, press and hold the lock button while turning the key to the lock position then switch buttons and turn to unlock, then lock and press, etc 4 times each way. (Nothing to do with the EKA code). For info should it happen again. PS I would have answered earlier but just noticed your plight.
