I am suffering from a peculiar problem - for some reason, the coin cell battery (3V) in my car key fob does not last even for a week. I have tried all brands ranging from Maxell to Panasonic's but all go dead in 3-4 days. This is the case with my standby key fob which I took out six months back to replace my original key which has undergone some wear and tear. What could be the possible cause and solution.

In case the metal was always in contact, the red LED on the key FOB would have always been on, which apparently was never the case. Or maybe the red LED indicator comes on only in case of a button press which was not the case here when the battery continued to drain behind the scene due to some contact on the IC.

Ok so shown below is Key 1 - the condition being primarily due to rubber quality used in the keypad worsened by the 'manicured' thumb nail of my wife which by default rests on the close keypad button when carrying in hands and occasional fiddling between the boot opener and close button. Alongside the key FOB is the purchased keypad from ebay. |

However, please note that it might not really be needed to do the above step. In my case, I was easily able to nudge in the new keypad over the frame using my fingernails to slide in the edges of the keypad over the attached keypad frame. It was done in less than a minute. Avoided a lot of effort and time if removing the frame, fixing the keypad jacket over and then fixing back the frame. After sliding in the keypad, Key 1 looked as shown below. Key 1 is the left one and the Key 2 is on the right. Is there any difference you note? Yes, there is one, check out the description of option 1 and option 2 mentioned above. But hardly makes a difference does it? More Information here replace key fob battery

Had same issue in my two year old Ciaz Zdi+. Tried using the second remote fob, but the half full battery display continued to displayed for some time after car was started. Went to MASS. They replaced the battery of the fob and then logged onto the OBD system with a laptop and cleared the error from history. Has been a month since then with no issues. They charged some 70 odd rupees for the battery replacement. Hope this helps.
