remove key fob battery
OK opened up my key fob `00 battery is on one side circuit board on the other side. the battery is held by what looks like 4 or 5 little plastic tabs. I am concerned that if just pry the battery out I will break the tabs any trick or advice appreciated before I break those suckers off.

The battery should pop out - push a couple of the tabs outward and then encourage the battery out that side.
I have a page posted on the following link, but your question brought up a glaring omission - there is no view of the battery side of the passive kind of fob.....I'll correct that in the near future.

i'll let you decide - I think yours is the "transitional" year - not stating fact here, I have no 2000 fob to compare to - but I think the 2000 fob was a "fatty", like the previous passive style fog, and then on 2001 they went to the skiny fob that the newer cars all had.
I would be guessing, but if you look at the pics I have on my site, I anm thinking your fob looks like the passive style, but does not have the passive switch.

Battery should pop out pretty easily once you get the fob open. And yes, the fob itself is rather thick for the '00 cars.
