You just saved me over 100 usd. One of my acquaintances working in Ford told me this kind of key cannot have a battery changed and I need a new key.

@TheCarKeyMan Жыл бұрын

And they work at Ford? Glad I saved the cost of a new key :)

Thank you a lot! I managed to open the key easily, but I searched a way to get to the battery for about an hour, didn't want to break the key while on the road. At home I found your video and now my key's happy again, so am I ;)
