The battery compartment is inside the mirror box, on the lower side. To change the battery, remove the lens, lock up the mirror, then push the lid to the left and lift it up.

1) Clean the battery contacts and put fresh battery. 2) Open the top cover and clean the meter switch ( located and the wind cam ) 3) Meter needle maybe stuck at the rest position. Remove the stopper and replace or clean. 4) If none of these help, check the meter cells and resistor band under the shutter dial behind the lens mount ( hard to do.)
I have a Nikkormat FT, and I can assure you that there is no "timer" button on this camera. There is, however, a timer lever to the left of the lens if you are looking at the front of the camera. As for the light meter, have you tried moving the film advance lever to the "cocked" position, since that turns on the meter.
