My friend with the Transit Connect is running around town doing errands.
Pulls into a place, shuts it off, comes out 5 minutes later and it’s dead. No lights, accessories, nothing.
She grabs another vehicle and leaves.
A few hours later her brother in law goes out, puts the key in and it fires right up.
Looks under hood and sees nothing.
Comes out 30 minutes and an hour later, fires up fine both times and it’s fine.
She returns and drives it home, noting the clock lost a few hours and the radio defaulted to the first a.m. station.
The key separates into two pieces. You can take the part with the remotes with you in a valet situation.
And she’s had an aftermarket remote start added a year ago.
Never a hint of any issue.
The key is getting worn, where it’ll separate easily.
My guess is after a few failed attempts with the key not 100% right an anti theft feature shut power off . When the later attempts were made the key was tight ?
I forgot to call Ford. They’ll probably say bring it by and we’ll look at it for a fee.
Any ideas ?
