F150 Key Fobs Stopped?

[elksnout]

2014 Supercrew. Last week after locking my truck with factory key fob I couldn’t use the fob to unlock the truck. Put a new battery in the fob and all good. Then days later the same thing happened. Hmm. So I dig out my spare fob. Same thing. Works as it should then today I had the exact same thing happen while using the second fob. WTH? Has to be something in the truck. Anyone else had similar issues?

Same happened to my 2001 F250. Looks to be the electronic switch inside the door. You Tubes out there. Have not done mine yet.
Weird they go out at same time though.

grabbed the spare fob last night to open my 2016 f150 and it was dead... now i'm worried about a conspiracy.

Correct. Spun the YouTube banter. Mostly pre ‘09 or 2018ish. Been laying down sod today with my son in steady rain so haven’t put truck in shop to jack around with it. Right now it’s cocktail hour.

So new battery in the 1st fob and it works fine now? 2nd fob, new battery and it works fine now too? I’m going with bad batteries. All the doors don’t unlock or just the driver door?

Neither fob unlocks truck. Fob # 1 has a fresh battery. Fob # 2 is backup. Doesn’t unlock either. All doors remain locked. Can unlock drivers door manually to gain entry but it's a race to get in and get truck started before alarm would go off. Has to be the truck instead of fobs in my mind.

Do the power locks work normally from inside the truck?

Yes

Yes

Based on that, I would suggest a couple new FOB cases. I was amazed the difference just that made for me.

I’m with this guy. You just need a couple new fobs.

It just seems extremely odd that after all this time both fully functioning fobs give up the ghost within a few days of each other?

If you had an issue with the locks themselves, they wouldnt work from in the truck.

When’s the last time you had a new truck battery ?
