Often, when you notice that the remote control of the vehicle no longer opens and closes the locks, the battery is likely dead. The replacement is straightforward; you do not need to go to a dealership or workshop for this type of intervention.

Here’s how to do it: Remove the black rubber frame from the shell and open it halfway. If necessary, use a small portable grinder as shown in the video.

By doing this, you will gain access to the battery, which should simply be removed from its seat and replaced.
