Keyless Entry continually flashes

I am having this same problem with 2011 Taurus. Did you figure out how to fix it?

Anyone figure this out? 2014 ford explorer doing this and is causing a dead battery

I have a 2015 Fusion and it is doing this as well. Brought it to Ford dealer, they checked with diagnostic test and found nothing. When it rains, sometimes my key lights will turn on, blink, etc. I am bringing car back to dealer this week and let them know about the blinking key lights that I believe are the reason my battery keeps dying. Anyone else figure this out yet? I will keep you posted.

Did you ever find out what the problem was?

Same problem now with my 2017 ford explorer. Darn this will drain my battery. Anyone figured this out?

First thing to do is get the Key fob replaced, second new battery. Third master reset the car.

MY 2016 LINCLON MKZ KEYLESS ENTRY RED LIGHTS SOMETIMES FLASH WHILE MY CAR IS SITTING IN THE GARAGE. IF I DON'T DRIVE IT TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED, THE BATTERY DIES. ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS WRONG?

I have the same issue on my 2012 Flex. To avoid draining the battery I removed the fuse until I have a chance to get it fixed. For my car it is fuse 13 in the internal passenger compartment fuse box. (box located under the instrument panel...above left foot when driving). The down side is the fuse also controls the power seat and power mirrors. The problem seems to be caused by water getting in the section of the door where the keypad is. I noticed a gap where it's separating slightly at the top of the door. I sealed it for now with some black electrical tape. You can't even notice it.

Anyone figure it out yet?? Draining my battery

2017 Ford Explorer, car in driveway, came out saw lights flashing, noises coming from engine. Car won't start. Anyone?

I’m having the same issue .. 2017 explorer platinum .. anyone actually have a fix for it ?? Dealer sucks !! Keeps killing my battery !!

18 Ford Explorer doing it; battery is dead today

I have a 2017 doing same thing. Been on the internet for hours reading everything I can. While only a few people talk about water getting in the panel somehow, I am almost positive that’s what happened to mine. We had A LOT of sideways rain today and this did not start until then. I had been driving all day prior to the rain and it wasn’t doing it. After the storm, it started. Took a fuse out to stop battery from being an issue. Now it’s saying my lift gate is open. It’s not. So now it’s worse because that’ll sure drain the battery as the lights are on now. I have plans to visit a ford dealership in the morning. Fuse box is in the most ridiculous, tight spot ever, by the way, and it was the biggest pain to get to.

ok , heres what I came up with. I belive that water has gotten down into the top of the door , and corroded the switch in the door panel, mine started doing this last week. dead battery anytime we left it for 8 hours, and the panel flashing all the time, I removed the interior door panel , and unplugged the switch panel inside the door, had no issues now for 2 days. I am probably going one further and ordering a new switch panel, but when i put it on ill silicone the top of the panel to prevent water from running into the top of the door

btw mine is a 2018 explorer with the flush keypad

Same issue with 2017 explorer. Would be great if someone posted a fix...

Mine door key pad tend to flash a day or two depending on the weather after the vehicle is washed . I think water / moisture is getting in and shorting it out. I’m no mechanic but it seems logical.

2018 XLT Explorer key pad stayed on or flashed ran bat down, when I pulled the key pad off the door found that the wires had been chaffed during install at factory just inside the whole the wires go through at the bottom sometimes they would touch the metal sometimes water shorted them across. replaced the touch pad/molding and BLAM no more problem. Good Luck

I have a 2017 Ford Explorer and doing this same exact thing. Replaced battery and now noticing the flashing red touch key pad. Ford needs to do better and recall these. This is not cool!

Had the same problem with our 2011 Ford Explorer when it rained. Went away after driving it. Now our 2018 is doing the same thing and killing the battery. Obviously, Ford didn't do this right with the new models. Our 1997 and 2003 Explorers had a different pad with five individual buttons. Never a problem. Best bet is to get inside the door panel and remove connection to pad.

I have a 2017 Explorer and also having same issue. This really does need to be a recall. Battery was dead and couldn't even unlock door to pop the hood. Had to have a wrecker come out to unlock door because of course door key was missing from key fob.

Me too, new battery 10 months ago. Maybe I didn't notice but I think it just started a couple of weeks ago. Keypad replacement? Cost? Grrr.

2013 Lincoln MKZ same red # pad flashes continuously rain or shine and kills the battery.

2014 Fusion in driveway with afternoon shower. When i went out to closed the garage door, ,My key-less pad was blinking on and off, then started flashing with random numbers etc. Your right Ford should have recall for faulty equipment !!! Edd S. Fla.

Ford needs to repair this

Can it be unplugged? Will unplugging affect anything else? I just won’t use mine. Same thing. Dead battery today, flashing keypad after raining. Sucks 2017 ford explorer platinum. Dealer says your batteries dead….. no kidding.

This just happened for the first time on my 2017 Ford Explorer platinum. Bought used and the keypad for the door never has worked. Set it back to the factory and still will not take a new code. Forgot about it, never needed it or used it. Today the darn thing decided to drain the battery. Looked through these comments and only found one answer, new key fob, new battery, reset car to factory. Does anyone else have a fix? Can it be disabled?
