Default Fob ???
I have a FOB that is not responding. The other one is fine. I reset by holding the two buttons with no indication (beep) from the car to indicate that it sees the FOB.

Do I need a battery? If so, does anyone know what kind?

Thanks in advance.

Jim

On a 2000 the battery for the key fob is a 3 volt CR2450. You can find them at most drug stores. You may also have to retrain the fob thru the DIC. Both of mine have quit working so I looking for replacements. Good Luck, Eric

Thanks. My car is a '98, so I'm wondering if the battery is the same.

How do I use my DIC to reset my FOB?

The battery should be the same, I believe. The owners manual may have the battery type indicated in it. I would say that this is your problem with the fob.

If you don't have a owners manual PM me and I can photo copy the instructions and send them to you. I imagine there the same as a 2000. Eric
