Note also the Smartshield system can be confused by strong RF signals and things like nearby mains transformers, power generators and radio transceivers can stop it working as can metallic window tint. Has anything electronic (sat nav, mobile phone, sat radio etc) that could be interfering with the fob signal been put inside the cab or on the key ring of the fob?

Only visually checked each fuse, but I did notice that when I tried pulling the demister relay under dash the demister light flashed on the dash lighting. I did have my mobile in the ute with data on whilst trying to sort the issue. I also had my Ford Escape key and remote on the keyring, but not sure if that may have trigger the fault.
