The most likely reason why your Ford Escape is showing a message that no key is detected is due to a dead battery in your key fob. It's important to start by replacing the CR2032 3-volt coin cell battery in the key fob before troubleshooting other potential issues such as wiring problems or blown fuses. To replace the battery, press the switch on the back of the key fob to release the physical key. Then, use the key as a tool to carefully separate the two parts of the fob. Once opened, locate the battery and replace it before reassembling the key fob.
If your Ford Escape is showing a "no key detected" message, start by replacing the battery in your key fob.
