Key fob battery

[chris68coupe]

Hi all

The central locking on my daily driver (Honda Accord) is not working. Fine if you use the key itself but not when you use the buttons. I am guessing the battery is flat. Is this something I can change my self or do I have to go to a dealer or even worse Hellfrauds? (Other motor factors are available.)

Easy to do yourself. Search YouTube and you will probably find a how-to.
Buy decent batteries. Cheap ones don't last. Duracell are best imho.
No programming will be required.

Thanks for the info.

You don't say what year you have but I'm guessing its a key with central locking buttons on it, and not a keyless fob?

So perhaps this is what you need?

Yes, it's a key with buttons on it. The car is on a 54 plate.

Thanks for your help once again.

That's great, well done. Great to get something done without having to pay someone else to do it.
