My Smart Key which came with the car when bought used in Feb 2016 seemed like it had a low battery- occasionally but with increasing frequency needed contact to door handles, start button in order to function... so this week I replaced the battery...
...and it stopped working COMPLETELY
Anyone else had this happen?
I stopped by the dealer parts shop and the guy there double checked nothing was loose or visibly broken in the fob (even replaced the battery again) and when it still wouldn't work he said "well yeah, they do sometimes just stop working"
Do I just have to suck it up? I have a spare key (now my only key)
Also not sure why Nissan have such a POOR design that the thing needs prying apart to replace the battery (our Prius keyfob has a screw cover for the battery)
