Just looking for helpful tips. Honda Accord 2008. Just wondering if it is easier to change the battery myself or do I need to go to a dealer.
Any help is appreciated!

It's incredibly easy to do yourself.

Change the battery. You likely need a watch battery - CR2032 or 2025. Just pop it open with a nickle or dime (there is most likely a slot for some device to pry open the FOB). Just snaps back together. Entire task (minus running to CVS to get the battery) will take about 30 seconds.

if it's anything like my tundra, it's a simple battery replacement. Nickle sized battery you can buy anywhere.
problem is, sometimes they lose the programming and have to be reprogrammed.
do NOT go to the dealer for the programming. Most locksmiths can do it.

I went to radio shack for a new battery. They checked it and it was fine
I ordered a new clicker from ebay. But I still need to program it

According to google, this is the battery you need:

However, pop open the fob before you purchase it so you can compare. I could not tell if Walmart has it, but it appears all BR Radio Shacks have it.

I drive a 08 Accord and have changed the battery in the past. You will need a very small philips head screwdriver to remove the one and only screw from the back of the key.

I got two brand new Maxima remotes, with batteries of Amazon Prime for $10. Took 3 minutes to sync up with car.
100000x better than older faded remotes

Just bring it to one of the men at work and let them do it, Sugartits.
Assuming you are a woman if this is a problem for you.

I've fixed several things on my car (side view mirror, door handles, headlights, window motor, etc) by using youtube how-to videos. Make a note to yourself to check that out anytime you want to do something yourself.
