Key fob battery?

[jvencius]

Is it possible to change the battery in the keyless-entry key fob and if so, how do you do it? Mine finally quit working and I can't find the second key fob. The key works fine in the locks, so that's not a big deal but being able to use the keyless entry is a nice convenience.

Easy fix.
Take the fob off the ring and use a screwdriver to split the case apart. It just snaps together. Once apart take the battery out and go to radio shack with it. It is a common size I just dont remember it ofhand. Most large auto parts stores will have them too. There is no need to reprogram them when changing the batt so all should be good.

I replaced mine today while at Advance Auto with Rampy--the fob takes a CR2032 battery and replacement took all of 30 seconds. The keyless entry works now and that's a good thing.
