One of my two key mechanisms stopped working at all when I try opening anything electronically. The LED doesn't light, so I'm think the battery is dead. How do I open it up to replace the battery?

Thanks.

Thank you, Yuri. But I don't thnk I need a replacement fob. Just a battery. How do I open it and what battery does it need?

Battery buy

Yes, my local dealer has already charged me $11 twice to replace the batteries that died. These are the 2032 lithiums as I found out later that can be purchased 3 for a $1 at your local dollar store.
