Hello,
I want to get some answers before I may need to book my car under warranty (hopefully it's under warranty)
For the last 3 weeks or so, my remote key does not unlock/lock my car anymore, for example when I go to work in the morning. I have to key the manual key out of the remote and unlock it manually.
The funny thing is, when I arrive at work, I can lock the car with the remote key.
I assume it may be something to do with the car battery not activating the sensors in the car for the remote key? Or has my key battery died?
My local key maker charging me $60 to replace the battery but I am not 100% sure it is the battery in my remote key.
Or can I buy a battery and change it myself? Is it easy?
Thanks!
Edit:
I searched youtube video how to open my car keys and it was really easy! I did it myself, but I need to go out and buy a CR2025 battery which is fine.
I have a second key, but that key had a dead battery anyways for some reason. So I'll get 2 x batteries for my key.
If that doesn't work then I know it's the car.
