I have the keyless entry pad, which I LOVE - but the battery only lasted a year before it needed replacing. I replaced it and it continued to work for a little bit, but then died again after a couple months. Replaced the battery a second time and now it doesn't work at all. Any tips on what I can do to troubleshoot this? Thanks!

Hi DanielleS! I can look into your Bronco's concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Bronco's VIN?

Probably not a fix, but worth a try maybe. I had a similar issue with a key fob. Took the battery back out and wiped off the contact sensors. Seemed like they had some film or something over them, maybe from heat being in my pocket? Anyway, worked like a charm after that!
