Changing battery in key remote.

[JazzyJJ]

I checked the manual and I didn’t see anything. I see a small screw on the back. Is it as simple as replacing the battery or will it cause the remote to stop working / need re-programming?

Normal battery?

Th key works but I thought to change it as occasionally I’ve had to press it a couple of times to get it to work.

Thanks.

I think it's a 2032 button battery.
Just replace and it will work, no problem.

If a new battery doesn't cure it then it's the little push switches that are worn; I used to change loads of those when I was in work.

I tried to unscrew it using a smalll screw driver but it started to round the head. I did it carefully and thought it was the exact fit head.

Anyway, any suggestions on next step. I can continue and see if i can undo it - unlikely, but if successful I won’t be able to use that screw again. And if it does completely round the head what’s the best solution?

Buy new case? From where?

It didn’t even need changing I was just being pro active.

You could always take it to your local Honda dealer and give them the problem.

Good idea, they might just sort it for me.

This will/would have been useful had I opened my key fob.

Battery is cr1616
