I have the multifunction key fob for a 2008 Grand Caravan SXT.
This is the one with buttons to open the side doors, rear hatch, all
doors, engine start, unlock, and panic.
I need to replace the #2032 disk battery. I got the little door off
the fob, but for the life of me, I can't get the battery out.
It is partially covered by the fob case. I have tried pulling, prying
etc. There has got to be a trick. The manual only says to remove and
replace the old battery. The battery is intact, and has not leaked. I
can rotate it with my finger so I know it's not corroded in place.
Just can't get it out. I'm ready to try needle nose pliers, but don't
want to take a chance of damaging the thing and having to purchase a
new one. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

on mine (02 PT Cruiser) there are little tabs holding the batteries (2
stacked). I just gently release one tab and the batteries come out.
