I was at the Ford dealer the other day when the service writer, then a
tech, were doing the dance with some Ford truck.

It would start and die, but if you did a little dance, that I was too far
away to hear details of, it would run. Something goofy like turn on the
radio, start it, and turn off the radio before it died.

They were turning the ignition on and off multiple times, opening and
closing the driver door, consulting some papers that the tech had gone back
in to print out ...

Then they checked something else, and realized it didn't have the remote
something-something that they were trying to program even installed on the
vehicle.


Wouldn't the dance that you are describing allow a valet to program his own
spare key fob? I thought that was why you needed two keys present.


And the keys aren't the only dance cards.
I did some other magical incantation of seven steps so that my Honda Civic
would let me run the defroster mode without the A/C on.
To allow "Econ" to be used, the procedure above is exactly the same, but
you hold all 3 buttons in for step 4 until the Econ blinks.


Who thinks up this nonsense?
