Car Door Lock

The lock for the car door consists of a visible button on the fob of the key that is connected to an actuator inside the door. The actuator moves a rod to move a lever inside the door. The lever is then connected to the car's main locking mechanism, which can either be an electronic sensor or magnets that have an reversible switch.

If your key fob doesn't work and you don't wish to purchase a new one, look at the battery first. Most fob batteries can be replaced easily, though certain models require a specific tool to remove the battery cover. Once you have your tool you can replace the CR2032 battery with a replacement battery for the key fob, and then press and hold the lock on the fob to activate it. This will reset the computer inside your vehicle and make it compatible.
