My mother has a 2006 Fusion and the remote key has died (PATS is fine -
will start the car) I tried changing the battery but no life at all. I
reckon the key has died but to check I tried to put the car into
programming mode - I understand that turning from pos II to nothing 4 times
in 3 seconds and then removing the key should do this and the led should
come on without flashing.

When I do this on this car it beeps but the led continues flashing - any
Idea what is wrong ?

Autodata doesn't mention the LED staying on. Have you tried completing
the procedure to see if it will code to the vehicle anyway?

I've also had experience of Ford keys that have had the button(s) pressed
repeatedly when out of range of the vehicle losing their coding, and
refusing to re-code. Leaving the battery out for an extended period (days
in one case), and then refitting the battery allowed the key to be
successfully re-coded.

thanks for that not sure whether the beep indicates its programming mode or
if there is something wrong with the car - I would guess more likely the
key, my tis disc is so old it doesnt have fusions in it IIRC. Will try
leaving the battery out for a few days. If that doesnt work I may try a key
repair service although I'm handy with a soldering iron if I can get it
apart without damaging it too much. Goes against the grain to pay fords
£125 fora new key although my mothers starting to talk about that route:-)
