    I can't adequately express how grateful I am to you for posting this video! I replaced the battery in my 17 CRV key fob and then it was dead. Nothing. I then installed a different new battery, and zilch, still dead. Indeed, the plastic clips had become bent down preventing contact. I clipped them off and then it worked!! I wouldn't have thought to look there on the side because I thought the contacts on the bottom were the only ones. Thanks again!

      Glad it worked! Yeah suspicious when multiple new batteries don’t work :)

    This helped a lot but quick question is there a solution if the plastic tab on top of the battery broke?

    • @BStride
      @BStride  Před 4 měsíci

      The small black piece? As long as the battery makes contact and you get the light place the other half of the remote on and it should be fine

    Lmao this stupid little design flaw cost me a bunch of money when I had to get a tow company to get me in my car cause my keys were locked in. Thank you!

  • @ceciliacarmona4208
    @ceciliacarmona4208 Před 13 dny

    Would this cause the immobilizer to to flash. My car car starts just fine with key by fob isn’t detected and won’t lock and unlock doors. :(

    • @BStride
      @BStride  Před 12 dny

      Hmm not sure does your fob flash when you try to unlock car??

      @@BStride sadly it didnt work, but it was worth a try. My friend told me that he had a similar issue with a vw sharan when he had electrical issues, the car forgot the key and he had to reprogram it, so he thinks I might have a similar issue. Thanks anyways.
