How is battery replaced in remote keyless entry in 2006 Malibu?

Answer 1

At the end of the remote that has the hole your key chain goes through, you need to put some thing thin (like a butter knife) between the two halves and carefully snap the remote open(it actually comes apart pretty easily). Then take out the battery, go to a radio shack or the like, and replace the battery. There is a small steel clamp that holds the battery against the little printed circuit board and one of the two leads that goes through the PC board on mine had become unsoldered. I used a low power soldering iron (25 Watt?) and resoldered mine and been good to go ever since. Seems like GM to me cost to replace remote was like $175 or some such sht...I treat my set of keys much more gently now...good luck Scott
