The close-up of assembling the button and spring to the key base was EXACTLY what I needed ! Thank you so much !

[@chasmcl42]

Their are not many people who can make informative videos and be entertaining too, brilliant.

[@alan4x]

thanks,

[@hausding]

amazing....Thank you very much.....the part about putting the old, cut key shaft, into the new fob was great. Saves me finding a place that cuts these types of keys and of having to go to the Dealership and get ripped off........owe ya a cheap beer!

[@alan4x]

You're welcome☺️

[@bazasulli4975]

I've got a similar flip "my key" for my fiesta and the key shank wobbles like a junky in a chemist. From what I see in the tear down I guess the roll pin is worn. Cheers Alan for helping us with our Ford dilemmas.

[@TScott-th5px]

Thank you so much for this video! It saved me $300 by not going to the dealership!

[@MRGRIMMINFLAMES]

[@jeffdunehew]

took mine apart because I accidentally washed it, so I could soak the board in rice. Accidentally knocked the spring off, spent an hour messing with it before I decided that there may be a video showing me how to fix it. Glad I found this lol.

[@Automotive_Solutions]

Thanks for the key info 👍

[@BI-qg2dv]

[@aaronmureness5307]

[@jaybreneman7804]

Glad I got two of the blank keys off ebay because I sure broke the eff out of the first metal bracket whilst clamping it down. Saved me about $500US tho mate - I owe you a beer!!

[@pat6662]

Thank you for that, locked out of the car with a flat battery and manual inside.

[@btodsk]

It helped me a lot to repair my key. Thanks!

[@sggoodship]

Great videos as always

[@libbybrown6356]

Thank you.. exactly what happened to mine. I’ll be damned to pay $220-450 for a new fob, key and programmed.. when I can just do this..

Allen Great stuff mate and MERRY. XMAS and a Happy new Year Phil in stoke

[@alan4x]

cheers phil and merry xmas to you

[@robert_costello]

Thank you kind sir. I am in the middle of trying to remove that little pin. Good thing I bought a vice from Walmart the other day. If this goes wrong, I’m going to blame you... and then I’m going to find you in England, or wherever you are. I will demand that you repair my key at no charge. Granted, it will cost me an arm and a leg to fly over the pond, but I am pretty determined. I might even ship my F150 and show you exactly the problem I’m having with this cheap, ridiculous key. Just kidding. Thank you for your informative video. 👍🏼

[@stevehayes7921]

Yet another great video Thanks

[@marklittler784]

The key to saving money

[@stefanosamma5126]

Grazie al tuo video che tra le altre cose è l'unico che ti fa vedere chiaramente come si fa ad aggiustare la chiave, grazie se aggiungi i sottotitoli in italiano sarebbe fantastico gra ancora mi hai fatto risparmiare 150.00€ 😘🦾🦾🦾💪

[@Luli-Spalton]

Thank you 👍

[@bormisha]

Thanks for the useful and entertaining vid! I wonder where did the old key housing go?

[@alan4x]

lol....i will show where the old key went in the next video😜

[@TonyTony-xj6uv]

Just change the shank from the original into a new fob as the micro switches on the fobs go bad all the time. So if you already have a replacement key you might as well kill 2 birds with one stone. Most of the snap on scanners allow key coding. Saves damage to the bord when taking the key apart.

[@Tino.__.]

Thank you

[@alan4x]

You're welcome

[@peraltamenta]

Geat video !!!

[@panoslozos9225]

CRITICAL notice: at 4:51 in order for the key to work properly you must FIX the tension of the spring by rotating 2 times clockwise (90+90 degrees). You ll need a griping tool.. thx for the guide

[@timnuc9421]

excellent!

[@marklittler784]

ITS A MYSTERY....

[@robertthomas8381]

Great video

[@alan4x]

cheers robert

[@robertthomas8381]

I bought one of these keys last week on ebay as I damaged my car also lol... I wasn’t aware of the little bit on the actual key that you can take out and swap with the original...until I watched this video... best video I’ve seen regarding these keys....

[@priteshchampaneri4320]

Hey up Alan, are taxi exempt from the MOT as there's no record on the government website for this taxi

[@howardkerr8174]

I just bought a new to me (a 2013) Fusion with this type of key and fob, wish I still had the older type key from my 2009 Crown Victoria...no programming because there is no electronics involved. And it's just my opinion, but I wish Ford U.S. had made the hatchback or estate model of the Fusion available here.

[@robertgibson7716]

been a while mate lol

[@bubba99009]

Wish they'd sell the hatchback version in the US. We only get the sedan for some reason.

[@SmartCamper]

Great video, what make is the Mic it works really well we after one ourselves

[@alan4x]

hi, the link to it is here... there are much cheaper ones but i don't know if they are any good www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00TV90DX0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@ford1546]

Hello. Hal would like to share something with you regarding the mondeo mk4 key. From the start when I got my used mondeo mk4 2012, I have never liked the key that comes with these cars and how it sticks out of the ignition lock. It doesn't look pretty either. when it sits in the ignition lock, it sticks out relatively far and sits at an angle downwards. The problem is that you almost always hit the key with your knee. I have the seat a little further back than many others I have seen, so I don't hit the key. my friend sits further forward and hits the key. This is not so well made by Ford. The same with the steering wheel adjustment where you pull a handle down to adjust the steering wheel. The lever sticks out a few centimeters and does not sit like you are used to from other cars. you can also hit it with your knee if you sit too far forward. Normally, it sits in a hole in the plastic cover. Poorly designed by ford.

[@b.sandhu3556]

Will this be similar for a 2013 Ford Fusion key?

[@Aceofcakesuk]

Try it on a transit custom key! Sealed for life, you have to break the key to get to the battery which has a habit of breaking one of its contacts.

[@bizon82rp]

hello Alan, today after i turned a key to stage II i have got a message: check engine and immobiliser. I can't ignite the engine. Could you please give me some clue how to fix that?

[@steverpcb]

Inside the key fob on the key less ones is a hidden key, does it fit anywhere as there are no keyholes and the ignition is a push button ?

[@alan4x]

i am sure on the mk5 mondeo you have to remove the smaller outer door pull handle cover to access the key hole...i think i will do vid on this as it is not obvious and a bit tricky to get to

[@0067jon]

My Mk5 Titanium is keyless and went into limp home mode when the key fob battery was low . This threw up a spanner symbol on the dashboard along with a low key fob battery message on screen. Have you ever come across this and why the hell did Ford program the ECU to go into limp mode for a non engine fault? Replaced the keyfob battery and all is fine.

[@alan4x]

not come across this problem but none of the models we have are keyless but yeah maybe a red warning light on the dash would be better than putting the car into limp mode

[@danielfreeth6052]

I brake mine when I get out of the car with my keys on a key chain or my id neck strap

[@abderrahimhaddanitankioupr9367]

😀

[@deanymac69]

I have took it apart

[@mondodaftasabrush]

I would imagine in the mad rush to gain access to the local takeaway dropped them on the floor again I know this might be daft but do they know the key actually folds away Cabbie wheel turner's don't even know the back seats fold down I would like to know? Why an empty taxi can do the speed limit and more on a motorway But stick an passengers in and it struggles yo do 60? Always baffles me?

[@alan4x]

lmao

[@axores20]

1st one to like and comment 🤣

[@alan4x]

lol

[@nickclark6001]

Ahh, Ford cost cutting ,use the key from the old Volvo S40 / V40 which went out of production in 2004 😀 they never broke on those, may be the lock is poorly positioned on the ford and your knee hits the key when you get in or out ?

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

I thought all Mk5 Mondeos were keyless. Mine is an St-line which is pretty much a poverty spec zetec with a bodykit and it's keyless.

[@TonyTony-xj6uv]

Bit of advice for you and your keyless mondeo you need to remove your obd2 power fuse as keyless fords can be very easily stolen via the obd2 port

[@darrenmeears4667]

I wouldn't mind showing monaca my carrot 💕👽❤💙💚💛💗💘💝💞💟👅👍

[@ZorgR]

Very informative video - great stuff. The acting though.. dear god, worse than in porn videos. Was that really necessary?

[@alan4x]

yes it is lol

[@eddydar]

They snap becos the metal parts comes from china.

[@alan4x]

lol

[@keithavian8129]

Main reason is because people try to fold keys without pressing the button in

[@frankphillips3761]

hahahahahhahaha

[@hardyman44]

Ford is literally a scam I broke my moms key n she had to pay 250 to get it fixed. Then I broke it again a week later now I’m about to show her this video
