Delay lock touch button

Mine works perfectly on the passenger side but the driver side has been very finicky. This is with the Fob in my front pocket.

It certainly doesn't seem to be all S650s, as mine work just fine. Of course, Ford uses the cheapest supplier for the sensors, so quality may vary. Or perhaps an error in the placement/mounting of the sensors.

My driver-side lock is definitely intermittent. It works perfectly every time on the passenger side though.

My handle locking does not work at all. Not when I put my hand in the handle nor when I touch the lock symbol. Is there a setting I'm missing or is this an issue that the dealer is going to have to fix?

Update: I had my dealer look at it yesterday. The service advisor let me speak directly to the shop foreman / tech and he said the antennas on the Mustang aren't as large or well-placed as those on my '21 Explorer (my point of comparison for how this feature should work) and the behaviour is typical and they can't do anything about it.

I'm not super happy about this but I'm getting used to it. I'll probably need to get used to it again next spring after mostly driving my other car which locks/unlocks every time on the first try.

mmm, my mustang does have an intermitent delay on the driver door. Sometimes it worked immediately, others need to pass figer a few times....but the passenger door, works fine every time....better antenas on that side??

Exactly the same with my Mustang....

Same on my Mustang...better sensors on passenger side?

It's so weird. Some days, it works every time I use it, and some days, I have to tap it 3 or 4 times before it registers. I have never had an issue on the passenger side.

Hmm... What does this remind us of? Temperamental, sensitive to touch, can never quite... find... the right... SPOT...

Mine works perfectly on the passenger side but not at all on the drivers door. Am I reading correctly that there is nothing that the service department can do to fix this issue?

If it doesn't work, they will fix it.

I tend to "point" my key fob pocket at the door when I push the button and it seems to help. So the fob is close to the handle when pushing it.

Mine works just fine.

Mine too!

If the car is not working as expected, return to the dealer to discuss and possibly schedule an appointment.

The fob, door handles and trunk use bluetooth and have a good range. If your fob is resting in your hand, you next to the door and the handle feature not functioning at all, something needs fixing.

You've proven the fob is good and it is door-specific. Could be something as simple as a loose or disconnection within the door itself.

During assembly, people on the line have a few moments to feed and attach the entire harness. With the amount of connections in the door alone, it wouldn't be surprising something might have been missed, or not seated well. Hopefully, it's a simple fix.

Update: Took it in to the dealership. They just called and said there is no power to that harness and they have to pull the front fender to see where the problem is. So, no driving around on this beautiful weekend.
New update: The dealer is replacing the door handle, which requires painting before it's installed.
