No Start: Ford Taurus Lincoln MKS No Key FOB Detected

In this video I show you how to do a basic diagnosis on this issue. For 2010 and newer vehicles they moved the backup transceiver slot to the center console.

Thank you! I DID look through the manual but couldn’t find the info! I
called the dealership and they just wanted me to tow it to them!!! Thank
you for saving me money!

Hey I attempted to diagnose this same issue on a 2009 mks today. It was
doing the exact same thing. Key in glove box would start the car and only
if glove box. I replaced key fob battery and still receive no fob detected
error. I’m not a Ford tech so I’m kind of stumped on this one….your video
got me closer to getting it though!

Nice tip, but seriously, this information is covered inside the owner
manual. Why don’t people read the manual on stuffs that they buy any more,
especially high ticket item like a car/pickup.

Thanks for sharing that.
We get them from time to time only to find out remote key is very
weak….Or the module needs to be program but hardly the issue.

very simular spot in the center console i wont if its the samething…

Minor update of video. I can’t speak for the MKZ but the Taurus at least
for 2011-14 I can’t specifically speak for 2010 but for 2011 and up Taurus
at least the back up slot talked about that is in the glove compartment has
been moved to the Center Console.

Fantastic tip. Is the technology surpassing the ability to diagnose for
the DIY or multi vehicle garages that do not have access to manufactures
support. I cant imagine starting off from scratch in this field, the
learning curve is tremendous . Your channel is one of the best on the
Tube for precise and correct repairs. Thanks Steve.
