I saw a few Key Fob issues posted here, but didn't find a solution. So here is what happened to me.

I have a new 2024 Supercrew 4x4 Ford Ranger XLT. This morning it was 37 degrees. I tried to unlock the truck with the Key Fob numerous times and nothing would happen.

I then unlock the door with the key. I opened the door and truck alarm went off, along with Ford Pass on my phone.

After I got the alarm off I drove it to a store about a mile away, and the door locked and unlocked fine with the Key Fob.

I don't get it? Any idea or fix for this?

Thanks!

I've had this happen once too. I had to use the actual key to open the door as well. It's never happened again.
