My battery keeps dying in my key remote. It takes about 3-4 days for it to be so dead that it won't transmit anymore. Is there a fix to this other than getting a new unit? It seems that it would have something to do with the circuit that the battery plugs into. As if it constantly is draining even when the button isn't depressed. The light only comes on when the button is pressed. I wasn't sure if maybe the circuit can be replaced without having to spend money on anything else.
