MyVans Your Vehicle Solution Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your key fob is dead, and you cannot start your Ford Explorer? Worry no more! Here is a step-by-step guide on how to start your Ford Explorer with a dead key fob.
Step 1: Get the Spare Key Fob
If you have a spare key fob, get it and use it to start your Ford Explorer. You can also use the key blade that is located in the key fob to unlock and start your vehicle. Look for a small button on the back of the key fob, press it and the blade will pop out.

Step 3: Hold the Keyless Start Button Down
Hold down the keyless start button for a few seconds until the engine starts. Make sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal while starting the engine.
Step 4: Repeat the Process
If the engine does not start on the first try, release the keyless start button and try again. Repeat the process until the engine starts.
Step 5: Replace the Key Fob Battery
Once you have started your Ford Explorer, replace the dead key fob battery with a new one. This will prevent future inconveniences of not being able to start your vehicle due to a dead battery.
If you have tried all the steps above, and your Ford Explorer still won’t start, it is advisable to contact your local Ford dealership for assistance.
