I don't understand why you want to keep it in sight. I have the same FFE and my first fobs so dead batteries is worrying thinking about this, if it is in direct sight of the car it uses its transmitter and tries to communicate with the car. So the car and fob play "Marco Polo" continuously 24, 7, 365. It is like the fact my smart phone "in standby" will last a week on a charge but only 10 hours "in use" and I think it is the same for the fob and it's batteries. You understand the car is transmitting "Marco" 24/7 and when one of your fobs hears that WITH the proper ID code it transmits "polo" which is like me surfing the net from my cellphone. A much much more power consuming job than being in "standby" not transmitting at all.

I can bounce on it and see if anything happens. My wife is driving it at the moment but I'll try bouncing in the seat as soon as she gets back. By the way is there a place in the owners manual that mentions 3 beeps as even being a signal? And shouldn't there be something on one of the instrument displays that refers to them?

went around the car and opened and slammed all the doors and trunk iid and checked the hood and the beeps are still there,

Starting two days ago our 2017 Fusion Energi beeps it's horn rapidly 3 times the second we press the "start" button when the car is off. When we press the button to turn off the car there isn't any beeping. I tried Ford Owner's Chat and they had no idea and told me to ask a dealer. Does anyone know what 3 horn beeps on "start" means? Other than the annoying 3 beeps, everything else seems normal and no "check engine" type light is lit that I know of but we've only had the car a few weeks so an answerr may be staring me in the face. By the way this is our third Fusion Hybrid and the first two were wonderful and we never had a problem worse than a slow leak on a tire one time.
