    Went to unlock my 08 focus and nothing.

    Changed battery and still nothing

    I think the light to put on radio and alarm red flashing light was on.

    I can't get into car as someone jimmyed the lock so can't use the key as barrel broken I found out so was going to get it replaced on next service which is next month.

    If I go to ford dealer can they tell me if key is busted or not.

    If battery is dead can I get leads and which will it allow me to unlock car?

    I've the spare key which is useless due to barrel broken

    Thanks in advance

    can you get in through boot.

    If battery dead open bonnet with key.

    Have you break down cover they should be able to get in.

    Thanks for reply.

    Can't get in via boot as only one key hole on car.

    Car has to be 2km from home to get breakdown assistance.

    Going to try the jump leads later and hopefully dead battery

    I had this problem a few months back. You have to re-pair your key to the car again.

    Follow that link to a video of how to do it. It took me ages of varying the exact method, but worked eventually.

    Got jump leads which lucky gave enough power to unlock car but not a peep when trying to get it started.

    Even revving other car and connected up for 15 minutes

    Battery is dead

    Thanks for your help
