This article will offer 5 tips to ensure that your car key is in good condition. In many cases, key fobs or remote controls can be fixed by simply replacing the battery. In some cases, reprogramming is required. Refer to the owner's manual of your device for specific instructions or seek professional assistance. Battery Replacement Modern cars are equipped with remote key fobs that incorporate keyless entry and remote start features, as well as the traditional car key made of metal. They are powered by small batteries which eventually run out and need to be replaced. Fortunately, the process is quite simple and can be handled by any auto accessory shop that stocks the appropriate battery type for your car model. The first step is to consult the owner's manual of your vehicle to find out what kind of battery is used in your key fob. Once you have this information, go to your local auto parts store and purchase the replacement. It is common to find the same battery for sale or even for free when you avail a special offer. If you take care to avoid pushing anything, you can pry away two seams using flat-head screws or your fingernail. Find the compartment for the battery. It'll be slotted in, or have a plus/minus sign embossed. Make sure to carefully insert the new battery into place, making sure it is properly positioned based on the way the previous one was. Once the new battery has been put installed replace the circuit board and then snap the two halves of your key fob together. Test the buttons after reassembling to ensure that everything is working. The ID of the key fob won't be affected if the battery is changed therefore the key fob shouldn't require reprogramming after the repair. This is a good thing for those looking to save money by
