Difficulties with key fob and central locking on the 2017 Ford Ranger (petrol)

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2014 Ford F-150 (gasoline), in my case it was the input signal from another ECU that was faulty. This is actually a pretty serious problem because it means that the communication between the different parts of your car is disturbed. I remember the mechanic reading the fault codes and then having to take the ECU apart and fix the problem. Hopefully you'll have an easier time, but be prepared for a serious repair. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for your quick reply! Your experience sounds like a really big deal. Can you still remember what you had to pay the mechanic back then? And has another problem arisen in the meantime, or has everything run smoothly since then?

Hey, no problem! So yes, I can still remember the cost. I had to pay about €1000 to fix the faulty input signal from the other ECU. That was pretty hefty, but what can you do when you're dependent on your car. Since then, however, everything has been running pretty smoothly, nothing new to report. The good news is that the access control error you mentioned has been fixed since the visit to the mechanic. Don't forget to always ask for an itemized invoice when you take your car in for repairs. That way you can make sure you're paying for exactly what's been repaired. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for all the info! Even though €1000 is really expensive, at least it sounds like your mechanic did a good job. The fact that no further complications have arisen since then at least gives me some hope. And thanks for the tip with the detailed invoice, I'll definitely take that into account. Keep your fingers crossed that it will hopefully be a bit cheaper for me! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. Take care of yourself!
