Locked Out, 12v battery isn't dead.

Did you try using the FOB, within BT range, to lower the windows?

That is a great question. I did not. That my first thought when I couldn't get my saved code to work. Of course the card is in the in the glove box. I couldn't find anywhere digitally that it might be in my ford documentation. I will absolutely take a picture of it and keep it on my saved file in my phone for future reference. If there is another place I can find it please let me know.

Thanks.

Another great question. Didn't think about that. Is that two long holds on the unlock button. Tried it with our phone app, but that wasn't connecting.

Unlock, then unlock and hold.

Did you try factory door code? Also can you autostart the car?

The autostart wouldn't work either.

Well, the correct tow truck just loaded it, they sent one without skates the first time... yes, I told them I couldn't access the car to put it into neutral. thanks for all the feedback. Putting into my bag of tricks just in case. I will follow up with the techs report when the dealer is done.

Did you walk away from the car with all fobs, phones, etc, for 10 minutes?

Good luck, and hope they figure out what's wrong quickly.

We did. Went and got a bite to eat while we waited for the tow truck. Still no luck.

Can you use the jumper to pop the frunk?

Then try disconnecting the 12v for a few minutes and reconnect. Maybe it’ll reset it?

I did, thanks for asking. We tried all doors, rolled some bones, ran oround the car a few times...

HOpe it's get sorted quickly for you and by all means, post what the cause was when you find out!

We did. I was hoping the same.

CTRL-ALT-DELETE?

In all seriousness, this is pretty freaky. Is there a specific module which controls the door actuators? Weird.

Good luck, hoping for positive news quickly.

hopefully we find out soon. Haven't heard from the Ford Tech yet. Haven't even heard were we might be in the service cue.

Yes to all. I can click the key fob lock button and the horn honks, the lights blink, interior lights come on. I touch the keypad, the lights turn on. My portable booster that I used to try to open the frunk gave me the battery is charged notification. My father was a mechanic and Auto tech teacher for 50 years, I know my way around a vehicle. I am in IT, may day consists of testing apps and hardware redundantly.
Did you have a solution or just trying to challenge my knowledge?

Clearly you know more than everyone and don't want help, so what was the purpose of posting here?

Geeze dude, relax, no one's going to help you like this.

Geez dude, take the one post out of many and try to make that what it is about. Passive aggressive reposts have what value. It appears I got plenty of great and valuable feedback from people who aren't passive aggressive.
