Battery replacement Key Fob

[Pajero1947]

Just dismantled the key fob and tried to work out where the battery is . Has anyone had to replace the battery and how was it done ?.

If it's like the NS key it's a piece of cake.
There is a thread on here somewhere describing it, I'll see if I can find it.

Actually it's on another forum but here it describes it, if your key looks the same, I'd say this is how it will be.

Thanks Craka that's exactly how it is will have another go tomorrow.

Did this last weekend on a Lancer which uses the same key.

You will need a replacement CR1616 battery and jeweller's screwdriver set. Just follow the pictures in the South African forum - 5 minutes work at most. Don't forget to give the battery & terminals a wipe with alcohol wipe to remove finger grease.

Just replaced the battery but now does not work, does it need to be reprogrammed at Mitsubishi ?

Does the light come on when you push the button?
Do you have a multilmeter to test the new battery? Maybe it's a dud?
