1995 Dodge Intrepid Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a guy out in Lemonwood on a Saturday morning. He kept his 1995 Dodge Intrepid in the driveway and had been using the key fine, but the remote had been dead for a while. He finally decided to fix it after he locked himself out the night before and had to ask a neighbor to call someone.

He had already tried a battery. Bought it at the gas station, swapped it in, nothing. He figured the fob was gone and was ready to go to the dealer Monday.

I pulled up and the first thing I noticed was the battery he used. Wrong size. Close, but not a CR2016. One of those cases where the cell technically fits in the holder but sits at an angle and breaks contact half the time. I swapped in the correct CR2016, seated it properly, and tested all three buttons standing at the car.

Everything worked. Lock, unlock, the third button, all of it responding from a normal distance in the driveway.

He had been living without his remote for months over a battery that cost less than two dollars at the right store. We also talked about getting a spare key cut while I was there, because he only had the one. He took me up on it.

The dealer route would have meant a weekday, a wait, and a bill that would have made the battery swap feel like a punchline. This was done on the curb in Lemonwood in under twenty minutes.
