One of the main reasons why the key fob for a 2013 Ford Explorer may stop working is likely due to a dead battery in the fob. Other possible causes include issues with the transponder key, receiver, or if the key became unpaired from the vehicle. It's also worth considering wavelength interference, especially if the problem occurs intermittently and in specific locations. The first step to take is to check if the doors can be opened with a spare key fob, if available. If not or if the spare key works, the next move is to replace the battery in the non-functioning key fob. These key fobs typically use CR2032 button cell batteries, which are inexpensive and can be purchased at most stores. It's a cost-effective solution to try before exploring more expensive repairs.
