Locking or unlocking using the key remote is inconsistent. I find that I have to approach the driver side at the side window level to get it to activate. This is leading me to believe that the battery in the key needs to be replaced.
First, is there a battery in the key?
I removed the screw at the shank of the key to gain access. The halves do not come apart even after applying moderate pressure by sliding a thin screwdriver around the edge. After reading other posts about replacement keys, I do not want to create more problems and expense by damaging the key.
Second, What is the trick to gaining access to the battery?
Thank you.
