If you find yourself in a situation where your Ford Explorer key fob dies, whether due to a dead battery or another issue, there’s still a way to start your car. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of starting a Ford Explorer using alternative methods when the key fob is not functioning.
We’ll be demonstrating on a 2020 Ford Explorer, but this method is applicable to several different years of the vehicle.
First, if your key fob is not working, open the center console of your Ford Explorer and remove the tray. Inside the center console, you’ll notice a pocket where you can place the key fob.
Even with a non-functional key fob, by placing it in the designated pocket within the center console, you should be able to start your Ford Explorer as usual.
It’s as simple as that! If you have any questions about this process, feel free to reach out. And if you found this tutorial helpful, don’t forget to like and subscribe for more helpful tips and tricks.
