I have a 2002 Explorer to which I have added a battery operated remote entry keypad. How do I change the batteries?
Mine died as well. The whole internet had nothing to say about this damn thing so I was going for broke, as they say.
Well, here goes.
Tools required: 1) wide'ish but slightly sharpened flathead to go into
the small groove (~1 cm) at the right side base of the cover, 2) razor/exacto
knife 3) wife's sweatshirt to protect my paint job!
Step 1: Pry the **** out of the cover (less twisting/more prying), with
any luck the backing tape will hold and the cover will not.
Step 2: pealn away if possible or (ugly part) make a circumferential cut around the soft button
material as close as you can to the sealing groove that the cover was
in.
Step 3: remove buttons, support plate, and circuit card from the base and replace the 3V BR2335 button style battery.
Step 4: Hope it all goes back together with reasonable weather resistance. We'll see...
PS Maybe if it was above 26F it would have been easier...
If it looks like a sealed remote either at top or bottom take a quarter or penny there should be a little **** on the form line big enough for the quarter or penny this is how you open the key remote other type is a screw type and i dont believe you have this type cause your asking how to open it
