#11 of 16 How do I open a FOB? by math69 Aug 06, 2008 (9:54 am)
I have a 2006 Prius level 3. The FOB that I have been using for more than two years has been through the wash at least once. Now the button that opens the door locks is stuck in the down position. This prevents me from either locking or unlocking the car using the FOB. I've removed the ring and manual key, slid the top off of the FOB, unscrewed the battery cover, and removed the battery (a Panasonic CR2032 3v by the way), but still I cannot access the button from the back. How can I open the FOB so I can access the buttons from the back? Replies to this message: eric60 (Jul 26, 2009 11:05 am) stevegold (Jul 26, 2009 11:43 am) dmathews3 (Jul 26, 2009 2:04 pm)

This just happened this week I can use my key if I place it into the spot in the car to start it, but if I pull it out or try to start it with it being in my purse(as I usually do) it wont start??i can unlock if i use the unlock botton but i can not lock from just pushing the dot onthe doot handle. anyone know what to do? Does it need to be reprogramed or something??very frustrating!! thanks!! cheryl Replies to this message: sthoge (Jul 21, 2009 11:30 am)

Replying to: math69 (Aug 06, 2008 9:54 am) Have you either found an answer for this, or have found out how to open it yourself? I have a similar problem, although slightly more embarrassing. My panic button is stuck down, and constantly causes my car to enter panic mode. I've also disassembled my key to the point of taking out the battery, but can't figure out how to get any farther than that.   Thanks for any info you may be able to provide!   Eric Replies to this message: stevegold (Jul 26, 2009 11:43 am) dmathews3 (Jul 26, 2009 2:04 pm)

Replying to: eric60 (Jul 26, 2009 11:05 am) I had a recent problem with my FOB for my 2004 Prius. I live in the Rockies at 8,000 ft. elevation. When driving to Chicago (sea level) the FOB buttons stayed down. I was ready to order a replacement but a day after driving back to Aspen the FOB was again working perfectly.

Replying to: stevegold (Jul 26, 2009 11:43 am) Thats funny as I had a problem with my HHR we tow behind our motorhome in Estes Park, Co. Push button to lock door and the lock button on the inside of the door wouldn't go down about half the time all though the door did lock, it worked all the time in Mi. Got back home to Mi. and no more problems. And a year later still going strong.
