Friends: 1 |  SKS fob battery dead, now what? I search for 15 minutes and couldn't find anything about what to do if your fob dies. Do I have to go to a dealer to get the fob battery replaced and the thing reprogrammed? |

In the average Prius, the metal emergency key never gets used. At least around here, you drive the car in conditions ranging from -40 C in winter, to +38 C in summer. Salt is used in winter to deice the roads Around a year ago, I noticed my Fob was getting weak. Drove to the mall, got a replacement battery, and everything was fine again. However, back at my house, I decided to try the emergency key My lock cylinder was so stiff/corroded it barely turned. As I was parked in my comfortable heated garage, no problem. Rummaged around for appropriate penetrating lubricant (Please, no snickers, I'm being serious here), and gently worked the cylinder until it was free again I'm now in the habit of lubricating the lock cylinder every 3-4 months, and using the emergency key to ensure it works smoothly.
