i was just wondering if anybody knew how to or where is cheap to get a smart lock fixed on a ford falcon gli, typical female who is desperate to get it fixed

what's broken about it?

i can't get my car started i have to have a lead from starter motor to battery otherwise it won't start, the reds come on but thats it i hope this is enough information

have you had a new BEM (the computer under the dash) put in it? it sounds like it needs to relearn the keys.

have a read here - hopefully all the info you should need.

thank you for all your help i'll see what i can do i will let you know what happens you've been a great help thank you

This sounds like the dry joint issue in the BEM, have you tried giving the DASH a firm bump just above where your left knee would be?

yeah i used to have to hit the side when i first got the car not all the time but sometimes & now i can't start it with the key at all any idea's

If you have or know someone that is handy with a soldering iron then get them to resolder the dry joints on the BEM, otherwise you will need a replacement from the wrecker and then retrain it to the car and fobs.

thank you for all your help it looks like i have to take it to an autoelectrican he quoted $180 get more quotes tomorrow thank you

Arm your self with this info, $50 maybe for the BEM - Dash facia off then two or three screws and a few plugs to replace the BEM then a simple relearn procedure.

whats the relearn procedure, how is it done thank you

From the technical documents http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=26


The immobilised state is indicated by the Smartlock warning jewel (LED) as a rapid flash rate.
The system enters the immobilised state if Smartlock receives at least two incorrect codes when the ignition switch is turned to On.
When the car is in the immobilised state, you cannot start the engine, as the BEM has disabled both the starter motor, and the EEC-V system.
If the cause of the immobilisation is a corruption of the codes during transfer, you should be able to start the car on the second attempt.
Note : The remote keypads will still operate on an immobilised car, however an immobilised car will not display the immobilised flash with the ignition off, and will display the armed code as normal.
If the cause is an unauthorised attempt to start the car, i.e. by hot wiring, the car will remain unstartable. However to prevent a vehicle from being completely immobilised, (Eg. due to a damaged electronic lock assembly data), you can start the car by using the method below.
The following method must be used if the BEM, or the electronic module has been replaced, so as the new Codes from the electronic Ignition Switch are RE-LEARNT.

1. Turn all accessories off.
2. Turn the ignition to the On position.
The Smartlock warning Jewel (LED) will flash any error codes, then finally the immobilised code.
3. Leave the car for 30 Minutes.
4. After 30 Minutes, the BEM will attempt to relearn the electronic lock assembly data.
5. If the learning procedure is successful, the warning jewel (LED) will then stop flashing and the door locks will change state twice. You can now start the car, and operate it as normal.
6. If the learning procedure is unsuccessful, the warning jewel (LED) will stop flashing and stay on, and you can start the engine.

thank you for all your help i'l try to give that a go & i'll let you know how we go

Plenty of wreckers to choose a low/mid series BEM from in that area - Campbelltown/Narellan/Smeaton Grange.
Plus there are a few Fordmods members from your area - for a few beers they'd probably do it all for you.

cool how do i find these people i'd buy a carton if i can find anyone to fix my car for cheap but i will look for them thank you for everyone's help
