Default What kind of battery for my Key??

My key couldn't lock/unlock my door so I opened it up and I noticed no battery. I went to Radio Shack but the employee couldn't find the right battery. I figured I would ask here to find out exactly what battery to buy for it? Do I need to do any programming or once I put the battery in, it should work?



Thanks in advance!

You don't tell us what year your car is, and this info is not listed in your profile.

The key looks like a first generation key (early to mid-90's). The battery is probably a CR 1216.
Most Radio Shacks stock these, and I have heard that Wal-Mart has them in the watch and jewelry department.

The cost should be about $3.00.

Did you mean no battery or battery out of juice? Check the marking on the battery for the correct model. Radio Shack and Battery Plus are two good places to buy hard-to-find batteries, with helpful staff.

Walgreens has the battery for these in my area. You might give them a shot.
