Some key fob help...
Changing out the battery in a key fob is the easy part provided you can solder and desolder, the battery costs 8 bucks on ebay....I think it was a panasonic battery. The hardest part about it was getting the damn thing apart so you can get inside. The key fobs are sealed tight so that if you... -
