Ford Transit Connect Key Repair (Solid Key) No New Parts

New Transit 2015- In a previous video I showed how to revive a dead key using heat, But there is a new fault with these keys,
In this video I show how to open the solid key using spanners or Circlip pliers, how to repair the broken circuit board and how to fit the case back together as good as new.

Thanks, my battery was exactly the same, flopping about, you just saved me a lot of hassle trying to unlock my van just before I went away. Ford tried to sell me a new key at £256 plus 6 week wait.

Absolutely Brilliant, i've bought myself a soldering iron instead of buying a new key from ford at £149 (key) and then £120 to programme, all plus vat, so a snip at £322 all in, Thank you

Well done Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Great tip. Thanks. I had both transit keys not working. Was thinking of changing the charge ring on the ignition, believing that you couldn’t crack the keys open. Both came open easily. The fault was dry joints on the battery connection. Both keys. So I would speculate that this is a pretty standard problem. I didn’t put a new wire in, just remade the original connection. One battery looked as if it was ok, no movement, but re-soldering the joints got it working fine when putting back together, give the top half a full rotation to give the key a strong release when pressed.😀

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@keithmcgrath9402]

Thanks so much man* i never knew it self charged, got it apart and exactly the same problem, broken tab, just cleaned off as much of the solder with the hot iron, and then used a 1mm drill bit to clean out the tab hole, little bit of wire soldered in and whalaa, works perfectly, cheers, k theres a pint with you name on it over ear in Ireland

[@merlin5476]

After researching many of these vids it looks like 90% of faults are due to the tiny lugs on the battery that are too small to fit through the pcb. I resoldered mine & it works a treat now. However, my spare also didnt work due to it being left for yrs, i placed it on my phone cordless charger over night & now that works too 👍👍

Eins sehr gutes Video danke.In den seltensten Fällen ist das Bord defekt,oder die Batterie . Meist wie hier zu sehn ist der Kontakt von der Batterie zur Platine gebrochen ,ist dieser noch lang genug einfach nachlöhten .Ansonsten mit einem stück Draht den Kontak ersetzen .Die Batterie kann mit einem Multimeter geprüft werden.

What is the best glue to use? Like you want it strong but also to come apart again for the next battery change without to much case damage. Great video BTW 👍

[@aaanton11]

a bit of super glue will do the trick, Link is amzn.to/33CkLck Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

@@aaanton11 I did the repair with some wire off an old L.E.D I found in a 'box of bits' slightly different method. But thanks again your a legend saved me a fortune 🤑🤗🤟drive.google.com/file/d/11bPJQTHZyLRWR9J3xzAtYnb3xIB5AXiG/view?usp=drivesdk

Is it for the Key from 2015 the same thing?

depends, some will come apart, and the battery can be replaced, others are like in the video, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Great video. Absolute joke by ford that the build such a crap board and seal it shut, then when it inevitably breaks you have to spend £250+ for a new one. On my 3rd key already on a 2014 transit!
