Hey, I still remember the repair well. It cost me a pretty penny, €1000 to be precise for the new control unit. It was a steep price, but since then my Ford Galaxy has been running like clockwork. And with regard to the malfunction of the keyless entry system: since the visit to the mechanic, it's also working perfectly again. No further problems so far, thank goodness. Hope this helps you!

Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. Phew, 1000.0€ is a lot of money, but it sounds like it was worth it. Glad to hear you haven't had any further problems since. I think I'll have a look around and make an appointment with the mechanic. I hope it goes as smoothly for me as it did for you. Thanks again for the helpful info!

Hey, I had the same problem with my 2011 Ford Galaxy. It turned out to be a defective control unit. This part controls all the electrical functions in the car, so that was the cause of the weird lights and the problem with the central locking. Last time I was at the garage, they had to replace this unit completely. It was no small job, but after that everything ran smoothly again. So it's better to have it checked by a professional so you don't end up stranded in an emergency. Hope this helps you!
