Remote Key Fob Battery

[phill]

The remote locking key fob battery on my 1.6 T reg HLX has gone. Can I get one of these at Halfords or will I have to go to fiat and how much will it cost ?

If its the same as my 1.8 HLX, there's two batteries in it. You can get them from Halfords think they were about £3 each... If you take the fob apart it should say on them what they are....

2? I've only got 1 in mine. (Car is a 1997 1.8HLX)

RCL not working tho - keyfob just flashes red.

I've had a look but cant see how you get 2x 2032 style batteries in it.

Re: Untitled

See, you've got me wondering what batteries should be in my key fob.

What I have is this:

What was in it when I got the car was a CR2032 but the RCL doesn't work (although key lights up). I've noticed the CR2016 battery is considerably thinner so perhaps wrong battery is in the keyfob mebbe.

Thoughts most welcome

Re: Untitled

it needs 3 volts to operate, so you need to go for the slimmer CR2016.
Places like Maplin, dixons (thieving bstrds) and just about any high street photo place will sell them.

Re: Untitled

Ta, thought it was the case.

I work for Homebase (cough*crap place*cough) and the 2016's are £1.99 each. Even with 20% discount I'm not bothering. Getting a 5 pack from ebay for £3.49 Much better!

Be interesting to see if the alarm starts working when I slap 2x batts in
