And if you have the center console vault……?

I suppose it doesn’t matter, first I’ve heard or had this happen in 9 years that I’ve had fobbed fords. Though Ive always wondered when you would use that fob holder in the console.

I swear i said something about auto transmissions leaving you stranded. If it was a manual you could have just gotten a tow or not had the problem at all.

There is an TSB update for this exact problem had to do it on mine.tsb 21-2251
That is encouraging. Is this over the air or does it have to go into the dealer?

Something similar happened to me in my F150. IIRC I had to disconnect the battery, shift into neutral, reconnect the battery and then start the truck.

Man, OP, that just sucks. When this happened before, did you contact your dealership service department or anything?

@WuNgUn seems to have a good suggestion, although he points it out rather crudely :)

If the drop in center console trick does indeed work, I'd still take it in. No way is the car meant to disconnect from the fob so easily.

Hope you get a fix and report back or an update or whatever makes it go away. So sorry you had to leave your baby on the trail.
I'm a rude and crude dude 🤷🏻

That fob holder is for use if the battery in the fob is too weak to be recognized.

For some reason when I go to the Publix near my house, it never detects my key and I have to use the special fob spot to start the car.

And some folks wonder why I insist on driving a manual.

Had a similar issue with the neutral-safety switch on a Cherokee. Couldn't start the vehicle on a hill.
