Key FOB question

catching Zs · 10-10-2015, 05:15 PM

My spare Key FOB "drains" the battery in about 6 weeks. I think it doesn't turn itself off. When I put in a fresh battery it functions normally / works as designed and six weeks later the battery is dead. In comparison, I can't remember the last time I changed the battery in the "good" Key FOB. The condition with the "bad" key FOB started after I had the steering wheel lock issue repaired at the dealership and turned in both key FOBs to the service writer. (purchased the 2010 pre-owned in OCT 2013) Would the steering lock repair have any thing to do with the FOB operation? Is a key FOB repairable?
Any advice and counsel is greatly appreciated. Thanks
