Replacing automatic open and lock key.

[junorico24]

Ok, anyone know how to pry open the key to replace the battery? My one has had it, i think. Because when I press it, it wont open or lock the car as fast as it used to.Then late last night it wont open at all after I pressed it a few times.

There is a small indentation in the seam, at the top by the loop for the key ring. Stick a screwdriver in there and rotate it to pop the case open.

Looks like you need a CR2016 battery.

Thanks.

Can I purchase that battery anywhere? CR2016.:bow:

We have them at Walmart so I would hazard a guess and say 'Yes, you can purchase it anywhere'.

Damn, this is so strange. Now it's working alright again.
