Key Fob Battery

The battery is a CR-2032 available at Radio Shack and you can replace it yourself. Instructions should be in your Owner's Manual.

 

Details about FOB battery replacement, including photos, are available in the User-Guide.

how long had you been using the fob in question. I noticed after two years of constant use, my main fob seemed to be generating a weak response from the entry system. Nayurally, I am interested in replacing the battery.

 

Unusually good, I would say normal Fob Bat life is 2-3 years.

 

I accidentally ran a fob through the laundry, washed and dryed, and it still works. Sturdy little things.

 

That's funny! Many small electronic devices are at least water resistant, if not water proof. Unless the circuitry actually shorts out thru water immersion, these things will survive. It is actually possible to wash an old filthy electronic box from the last fifty years IF: soap and water are used sparingly and the box (whatever) is dried out in Sun. Resistors,capacitors and inductors are usually safe, and the metallic base of course. In modern electronics the components are even safer from H2O. Don't throw it in the wash machine tho. The other day my significant spouse decided to throw our Double Canasta deck in the wash machine! no comment..................
