lincoln_blitz Posted 28, May 2006 Report Share Posted 28, May 2006 Howdy I have been trying to open the key to replace the battery within it that is no longer opening my car Any ideas? Do you need a tool to lever it? Dont really want to break it as they are kinda expensive. Cheers Lincoln Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackie Posted 28, May 2006 Report Share Posted 28, May 2006 is your car under warranty still? if yes take it back to the dealear, maybe it is the module problem inside the key.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted 28, May 2006 Report Share Posted 28, May 2006 Take it off the keyring first, it slides off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincoln_blitz Posted 28, May 2006 Author Report Share Posted 28, May 2006 Is it the lower half that seperates (part with key extruding) or top part with button that slides off. The dang thing seems stuck! (swears repeatedly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClioF1 Posted 29, May 2006 Report Share Posted 29, May 2006 Theres a page in the manual that came with your car including diagrams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e.Sport Posted 29, May 2006 Report Share Posted 29, May 2006 Is it the lower half that seperates (part with key extruding) or top part with button that slides off. The dang thing seems stuck! (swears repeatedly) It does slide apart and you end up with two halves. One with the key attached and the other with the button and battery on it. As stated take the key off any keyring. Slide it and the mini dovetail joins will come apart. There is a rubbery seal to stop the moisture getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick306 Posted 12, September 2008 Report Share Posted 12, September 2008 I'm having serious issues trying to slide the cover of to replace batteries (for both keys)... what am I doing wrong? One key moves slightly but cant get it to come of. The other one's like it superglued... with the key on a table standing up which side should I be pressing on to make it slide off?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick306 Posted 12, September 2008 Report Share Posted 12, September 2008 after 30 mins or so I've succeed... the pilp were both in bad condition and looks like the previous owner tried to separate halves with a a screw driver... I had to pull the key itself to get a better grip and separate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
