Ford Flex Keyless Entry Issue

Keyless access on my 2008 Ford Flex with a gasoline engine has stopped working. I'm getting an error message stored in the memory and suspect it's the door handle electronics. Anyone else experienced this?

I also own a Ford Flex and recall reading a service bulletin about issues with door handle wiring harnesses. A faulty cable or plug connection is likely the cause. Does the error message provide any specific codes?

Thanks! The error message doesn't give a specific code. Where did you read about the service bulletin? Does it affect all Flex models?

I don't know the specifics, but the service bulletin mentioned a potential problem with the door handle wiring due to environmental factors and manufacturing tolerances. Given your symptoms and the lack of specific error codes, I'd recommend a qualified workshop for diagnostics. The repair cost was about 95€.

Thanks! I took it to a local mechanic, and it was a faulty connection in the door wiring, like you suspected. They fixed it for a reasonable price. I really appreciate your help!
