Ford Transit key cutting and replacement can be tricky, especially with the Flip Style 3 Button remote keys common on many Transit Customs. At FB Autolocks, I regularly help customers facing these common issues:
Ford Transit key not working
Key fob buttons unresponsive
Unable to unlock the van with the key
Key fob not locking or unlocking remotely
Many Ford Transit Customs use a “self-charging” battery inside the key fob, designed to last a lifetime. Unfortunately, when this battery dies, the entire key often needs replacing you can’t just swap the battery like a regular key fob.
This was especially common on 56 plate Ford Transits. Ford offered a recall replacement for faulty keys, but that period has ended. Nowadays, dealership replacement keys can cost up to £300 or more, making it an expensive option.
If your Ford Transit key isn’t locking or unlocking your van remotely, it could be damaged or the battery no longer holds a charge. I supply both OEM and high-quality aftermarket keys, programmed at your location anywhere in Sheffield and surrounding areas.
Pricing starts from £120 for key cutting and programming on-site, saving you time, towing fees, and high dealership costs.

The blue Ford Transit key fobs don’t have removable batteries. They’re designed to recharge when plugged into the ignition, but unfortunately, many of these batteries eventually fail. Since the battery can’t be replaced, you’ll need a replacement key for your Ford Transit Custom when this happens.
If your key seems fine but you get an immobiliser error when turning it in the ignition, it’s likely due to a faulty ignition ring. This ring disables the immobiliser and allows your vehicle to start.
At FB Autolocks, I can diagnose and fix this issue quickly. Call me on 07393 177 487 and I’ll get you back on the road.

1. Faulty Keys
Ford Transit keys have a reputation for poor design and reliability. Common faults include:
Rechargeable battery failure
Unresponsive key fob buttons
Broken flip mechanisms
Faulty chip signals
These issues are so frequent that many Transit owners will need a replacement key during the vehicle’s lifetime.
2. Ignition Failure
Wear and tear is normal, but Ford Transit ignitions can wear out surprisingly fast sometimes within just a few years. When this happens, your key may no longer turn, leaving you unable to start your van until the ignition is replaced.
3. Door Lock Problems
The standard door lock on Ford Transits is notoriously weak, which has led to thousands of vans being broken into nationwide. Replacing these locks can be costly and complicated because the lock’s design makes removal difficult after damage.
4. Security Locks
Without proper security upgrades like deadlocks, your van is vulnerable to theft. Adding deadlocks to your load area can deter thieves and protect your tools and equipment. Replacing locks after a break-in can cost over £500, so investing in extra security is a smart move.
5. Key Ignition Ring Faults
If your van shows an “Immobiliser active” error and won’t start, you might have a faulty ignition ring. This small component detects your key’s signal and allows the van to start. Early signs include intermittent starting problems that get worse over time.
If you’re facing any of these issues with your Ford Transit Custom, call FB Autolocks now at 07393 177 487. I’ll get you back on the road quickly and hassle-free.
