Saxo key battery low warning

Alright Saxo gurus, need your brains! My 2003 Citroen Saxo, petrol engine, now showing 161118 km, is throwing up a 'key battery low' warning. Keyless access is totally dead, and there's an error code stored. Locking/unlocking is super dodgy, only works sometimes. Feels like the fob battery is flat, yeah? Anyone else seen this?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Saxo. Keyless entry packed in, and the central locking was playing up. Have you tried swapping out the battery in the key fob?

Cheers! Yeah, that's my first thought. Just wanted to see if it's a common Saxo thing before I started messing. You reckon it's definitely just the battery, or could it be something more sinister?

In my case, it was just the battery, thankfully. But honestly, with electronics, who knows? If a new battery doesn't fix it, I'd suggest a trip to the workshop to get it properly diagnosed.

Good shout. New battery did the trick! 37€ at the local shop including the battery. Appreciate the advice!
