Has anyone experienced not being able to unlock and start your 2019 or newer Ranger? I was unable unlock the vehicle, it was completely dead. I even tried unlocking the door with the key and was unable to. I got my spare fob and had the same issue. None of the exterior lights flashed when trying to unlock my truck. The door somehow opened on my return back to the truck when I pulled on handle without inserting the key. I also didn’t see any exterior lights flash when trying to unlock with the fob as I approached the truck. Anyhow, I put the key into the ignition and it was dead. The dash lights were dead, nothing turned on. I had my second set of keys resting in the back cup holder closest to the centre console arm rest. Not sure if this de-activated the immobilizer system as I read online afterwards that the back cup holder is the resting place for
the fob, should your fob battery go dead and need to start your vehicle. By luck I placed my second set of keys there. Im not sure why or how this happened and would
like to understand more about the immobilizer system to prevent a re-occurrence. Any help is appreciated. Just to be clear both fobs work fine. The dash will indicate if the fob battery is low. I’m sure this has something to do with the immobilizer system and I don’t know if I accidentally activated it and how. Thanks
