Ford Flex Keyless Entry Issue
Summary of the thread
The keyless entry on a 2008 Ford Flex stopped working, with an error message stored in the memory. The suspected cause was the door handle electronics. A possible solution involved checking the door handle wiring harness for faulty connections, as environmental factors and manufacturing tolerances could lead to issues. The problem was resolved by fixing a faulty connection in the door wiring.

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!

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?
