Keyless entry fob not working but did when jumper cables were hooked up?
My son had his car flooded in Feb. We ended up getting him a used motor and new battery to get it running again (and some other parts.) After getting it back we noticed that the keyless entry fob no longer worked. We figured it was messed up in the flood and thought no big deal since it's just a school car. Well yesterday we had to jump it off because the battery died (either from not running since school got out or a radar detector left on.) While it was hooked up we found that the key fob was able to lock and unlock the doors again. But once disconnected and running they don't. Anyone know what the problem might be?
Added (1). 2008 Ford Escape, not sure of submodel?
Year, Make, Model and Sub-model and engine size would be nice. Needed to know information to pull out the right wiring diagrams so I know what the car has or equipped with in the system.
Probably low voltage from something that is draining the battery. Floods can do in a lot of electrical things.
- I have a 2010 Ford Taurus keyless remote and I just replaced the outside keyless entry keypad and there's no power to it? My question is does anyone have and idea why there's no power to the outside keypad? Have anyone experienced this problem? Beside taking it to another dealership can anyone help me out? Oh yeah by the way I went to the Ford Dealership to get the part replaced, but he wanted to charge my an arm and a leg to put in the code. No rude comments please? And thanks in advance?

- Why does my keyless remote entry/alarm reset itself? I have a 2002 ford mustang. I have to program the remote to the cars factory alarm system every time. It will only stay programmed for an hour or less. It is not the remote because I've tested it on another ford vehicle and the battery is still good. Also the theft light sometimes stays on and sometimes it will blink.
