And you did one hell of a good job Spence.I don’t think my thread needs to take this tone - if I’m taking the sarcasm correctly. I’m pretty sure there are people who have not replaced a remote battery. I have not until yesterday. Took the time to take photos and post this thread to perhaps give those the confidence to do it - Instead of a GM Tech to do it at the Dealership. The manuals are notorious for minimizing explanation ... so this thread is made. Hoping for others to have the same success to not blemish the fob in the process - as I know that is the primary reason for some to perhaps not even taking this task on.
For those who know everything, please just ignore this thread. For those who know much less, I hope this thread keeps you from having to ask. I will say, it’s easier to do a second time, once done.
I actually made this thread in the process of resolving start-up problems on two Corvettes in another thread.
I will stop my DIY at the point of dismantling the engine though (sarcasm)
Must be the life I am living. LOLC'mon man. You haven't had to take it apart yet to swap a battery?
I took a few more photos today of the spring and the key release tab that it is a part of. You will not see the spring unless the tab detaches and it wiggles back to lock in place when detached. Hope this helps.I was able to replace the battery OK; but, the key release does not work - I did not notice a small spring? I guess it must have been lost during the change? I did not see a spring anywhere. I emailed the FB poster of the video on changing it and he got back to me saying that there is no spring? Confused?
Thank you sir for taking the time to write this up with pics. My '14 C7 Z51 would not start last week after 7 months on the Battery Maintainer.....hope it's the fobs.I don’t think my thread needs to take this tone - if I’m taking the sarcasm correctly.

I'm not above anyone to admit that I have not until yesterday.
