Ford Mondeo Mk5 Broken Flip Key Replacement

THANK YOU MY GOOD SIR!! THAT LITTLE ROLL PIN GAVE ME SO MUCH TROUBLE BUT THIS LOOKS SIMPLE!!

hahahahahhahaha

Hello. Hal would like to share something with you regarding the mondeo mk4 key. From the start when I got my used mondeo mk4 2012, I have never liked the key that comes with these cars and how it sticks out of the ignition lock. It doesn't look pretty either. when it sits in the ignition lock, it sticks out relatively far and sits at an angle downwards. The problem is that you almost always hit the key with your knee. I have the seat a little further back than many others I have seen, so I don't hit the key. my friend sits further forward and hits the key. This is not so well made by Ford.

The same with the steering wheel adjustment where you pull a handle down to adjust the steering wheel. The lever sticks out a few centimeters and does not sit like you are used to from other cars. you can also hit it with your knee if you sit too far forward. Normally, it sits in a hole in the plastic cover. Poorly designed by ford.

Bravo!! Very informative

Great work!

It helped me a lot to repair my key. Thanks!

Well Done!

What a terrific video Great stuff..

Broke my key, it just fell apart lol

Grazie al tuo video che tra le altre cose è l'unico che ti fa vedere chiaramente come si fa ad aggiustare la chiave, grazie se aggiungi i sottotitoli in italiano sarebbe fantastico gra ancora mi hai fatto risparmiare 150.00€ 😘🦾🦾🦾💪

I brake mine when I get out of the car with my keys on a key chain or my id neck strap

Thank you for that, locked out of the car with a flat battery and manual inside.

You saved me from the stealer ship! Bravo my good man, bravo.

I watched video, and noticed my fob had the pin poking out on one side
Problem solved cheers

hello Alan, today after i turned a key to stage II i have got a message: check engine and immobiliser. I can't ignite the engine. Could you please give me some clue how to fix that?

I just bought a new to me (a 2013) Fusion with this type of key and fob, wish I still had the older type key from my 2009 Crown Victoria...no programming because there is no electronics involved.

And it's just my opinion, but I wish Ford U.S. had made the hatchback or estate model of the Fusion available here.

Thank you

Now equipped to swap wife's Cmax keys into new housings, both broken blades internally.

And no, didn't fight her for the keys - it's a frikkin Cmax!!!😂😂😱

Thank you kind sir. I am in the middle of trying to remove that little pin. Good thing I bought a vice from Walmart the other day. If this goes wrong, I’m going to blame you... and then I’m going to find you in England, or wherever you are. I will demand that you repair my key at no charge. Granted, it will cost me an arm and a leg to fly over the pond, but I am pretty determined. I might even ship my F150 and show you exactly the problem I’m having with this cheap, ridiculous key. Just kidding. Thank you for your informative video. 👍🏼

top man ..great video !!!!

Wow, thanks buddy! Was fighting the spring configuration for a while, again thank you!

Thank you.. exactly what happened to mine. I’ll be damned to pay $220-450 for a new fob, key and programmed.. when I can just do this..

Will this be similar for a 2013 Ford Fusion key?

took mine apart because I accidentally washed it, so I could soak the board in rice. Accidentally knocked the spring off, spent an hour messing with it before I decided that there may be a video showing me how to fix it. Glad I found this lol.

Allen
Great stuff mate and
MERRY. XMAS
and a Happy new Year

Glad I got two of the blank keys off ebay because I sure broke the eff out of the first metal bracket whilst clamping it down. Saved me about $500US tho mate - I owe you a beer!!

You've saved me hundreds of dollars I greatly appreciate it

Ford is literally a scam I broke my moms key n she had to pay 250 to get it fixed. Then I broke it again a week later now I’m about to show her this video

Thanks Alan. Ratchet part is as described; a major pain.

Yet another great video
Thanks

Thank you so much for this video! It saved me $300 by not going to the dealership!

Thanks for the video! It worked like a charm!

Geat video !!!

Miss M in every video please, great video & great info Alan.

I pulled my key out of my pocket and the key blade literally just fell out onto the ground.... wasn’t even using it

Many thanks. Your guide helped me clean my keys from the sand of the beach. It works perfectly fine now.

excellent!

Exactly how I do them alan 👌

I have took it apart

Great video

My Mk5 Titanium is keyless and went into limp home mode when the key fob battery was low . This threw up a spanner symbol on the dashboard along with a low key fob battery message on screen.
Have you ever come across this and why the hell did Ford program the ECU to go into limp mode for a non engine fault?
Replaced the keyfob battery and all is fine.

Wish they'd sell the hatchback version in the US. We only get the sedan for some reason.

Fixed ours!! Thank You!

Ahh, Ford cost cutting ,use the key from the old Volvo S40 / V40 which went out of production in 2004 😀 they never broke on those, may be the lock is poorly positioned on the ford and your knee hits the key when you get in or out ?

Hey up Alan, are taxi exempt from the MOT as there's no record on the government website for this taxi

Cool video,how would you opened a key for a focus as it is a different design without the little screw

Very informative video - great stuff. The acting though.. dear god, worse than in porn videos. Was that really necessary?
