How to change the shell of the remote control of an Opel car

Model: Vauxhall Opel Various
Part: Key

In this video, we can see how to change the damaged shell of the remote control of an Opel car; in general, it works the same way on all models: Here we have our damaged remote control, and in the meantime we have obtained the new one, perhaps on Amazon with the code B0C2JD94F3 at the price of 8.99 euros, free delivery for Prime customers. With a pair of pliers, we open the old remote control and completely disassemble it. First, we will need to change the neutral key of the new remote control with the key of our car, and for this we will have to remove the small spring inside the sealing bushing; then we need to transfer the printed circuit board and the battery (check if it needs to be replaced, while we're at it). Put it back in place and close the door. Job completed.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
