key battery

Target, Wal Mart, pretty much anywhere that sells watch batteries. Just pop out your old battery and bring it inside to make sure you get the right model.

My key battery was dead a day after I bought my car. Kinda irked me but spending a few buck for a brand new one wasn't a big deal.

Hi,

The correct Battery is a Lithium CR 2032 3-volt Button Battery. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Did you have a problem making the key work again after replacing the battery? I replaced my battery already but it still wont work.

Nope, once I replaced the battery the key worked fine. If you replaced the battery correctly it should work, unless you've got some other malfunction in there. Then I'd suggest going to a dealership.

I'm with Toolpants: must be something wrong. I've had my 01 for almost 2 years now. Never needed to change the battery so far. My Lexus key is past 3 years. Honda key is 8 years. No battery changes on any car.

I am having the same problem. I feel like my key is possesed. I works when it wants, and I have to be real close to the car for it to lock or unlock (even with a new battery) Sometimes it works then sometimes it doesn't. Can anyone help?
I am not sure if it's the receiver or the key malfunctioning.
