General Issues with the Ford Falcon AU3 Series
Key and Ignition Problems: The 2001-2002 Ford Falcon AU3 Series can present several key and ignition challenges, which our team at Terry’s Locksmiths is well-equipped to handle:
-
Lost Keys: The AU3 Series can pose difficulties when all keys are lost. Our approach involves using advanced tools like Smart Pro and X Tool to provide accurate key replacements. For these models, two keys are often required for programming, and our team is adept at handling both transponder and non-transponder keys.
-
Transponder Key Issues: The AU3 Series typically uses transponder keys, which can be complex to program. We use specialized equipment to ensure that transponder keys are correctly programmed, addressing issues related to both key and ignition functionality.
-
Ignition Repairs: If the ignition system fails, it may not always be due to the ignition itself. For instance, if the key turns but the vehicle does not start, it might indicate a twisted spindle issue rather than a fault with the ignition system. For Ford FG Falcon models (2008-2014), where this is common, we refer to our specialist Garth for necessary modifications. This issue is not directly related to locksmith services but requires specific repair techniques.
-
Door Lock Problems: The Ford Falcon AU3 Series may also experience door lock issues. These can include difficulty in unlocking or locking doors, which we address through thorough diagnosis and repair, ensuring the vehicle’s locking system operates smoothly.
