Hi,

So my battery died, and while trying to start it i accidentally dropped the fob on the center/side of the drivers seat in the slit. I figure I should get the key out before I jump it but since the car seat won't move (no power) anyone have suggestions? Use a long stick?

I think it should start actually. Even if it didn't, use your spare key?

kkokko

hmm no the battery is dead dead... =( i couldn't get in with the remote so i pulled the manual key out and when i got in and sat, the remote fob dropped inbetween the seat =(

G37Sam

Aaah I see.. Do you not have a spare key?

kkokko

yes i do!

But i thought i better fish it out the dropped key first before i go jump start and later find out i cant get the key even after moving the seat.. because the battery will drain if i cant get the fob out.

chances are it dropped underneath the seat. Bring the seat all the way forward and see if you can stick your hand underneath on the floor.

I only know this because I did the same thing and it fell to underneath the seat itself

Please re-read the thread, he said his battery died -> No power to move seats.

Your battery died so you're going to have to jump start it anyways or even replace the battery. So do that first. Then keep the car running (battery won't drain). There's no way you won't be able to reach that key fob. Mine fell in the weirdest most places down there

kkokko

will do thanks for the advice guys, everthing looks so tight down there i was worried i might not be able to get the key out and have to pay the dealer or something =P

+1 on what Sam said. I drop **** in there all the time and its a biotch to get out but if you move the seat around you can eventually fish it out.

yeah go ahead and jump start it first so you can get the seat moving. my ipod fell under the seat too and it goes into the wierdest places. i only found it cause i saw a little red corner when i used a flashlight. i never wouldve found it otherwise

damn man it is a btch to get things out of there. Also my battery is dying since I have the warning every time I start the car. Should probably switch to the spare. But yea, jump it then move the seat and you'll be able to get it.

My last car had french fries and other goodies in between the seats for years
