You can usually purchase these batteries from your local convenience or grocery store. You should make sure that you are placing the battery in the fob correctly; The direction (up or down) matters. If replacing the battery does not work, this means that your electronics are going bad. You will need to purchase a new key fob. You can purchase key fobs on our site here.
Check For A Signal
Auto parts stores normally have frequency testers. You will need to see if your key fob is still transmitting a signal. If you are able to get a signal, then the fob could have been disconnected from your vehicle. You will need to get the fob reprogrammed to the vehicle.
Check Your Vehicle Battery
If your fob stops working, it could also mean that your vehicle battery is low or dead. Test your vehicle's battery to make sure it is in working condition.
