Whether it’s a dead battery, ECU issue, or fob damage—we’ll diagnose and fix it on-site.

Why Ford Fobs Lose Unlock Functionality in Arizona

Heat plays a major role—internal fob contacts degrade over time. Mix in signal interference from Wi-Fi routers, smart garage openers, and even high-voltage EV chargers, and your fob might lose sync more often. Our diagnostics catch the problem the first time, without guessing.
