Just attempted to fire up the Focus hatchback, manual with a zetec

warning message is displayed.

The engine warning light may be on normally until the engine is started.

there is no attempt to
turn the engine over.

The key has lost contact with the immobiliser receiver. Have you got a
spare key to try?

The key opens the door remotely, so I assume that contact is made.

Thats a different system to the immobiliser though. That usually involves
a RFID chip build into the key (along with the unlocking stuff).


Some warning lights go off, none of the engine ones though.

Doesnt sound good. Might not be anything major, just a major pain to find
the cause.
