Default if you have the flat 2 button side by side like my 96 (i imagine you do)......
its a CR2032 watch battery. I buy mine from CVS, they are pretty common batteries.

You can get it at any Radio Shack. Mine was battery #2032. But resetting the fob is a PITB.

Default The instructions never worked for me. Mine has reset itself in a couple of days. Has something to do
with unlocking the car.
