My key fob won't unlock or lock the car by the buttons anymore. Tried changing battery and still the same but I know it still works as when taken apart I can get it to work just not when all together. What is the problem and how could I fix it?

    That's the important bit. Also, the battery should be pushing out 3.3v despite whatever brand you choose to use. It's definitely the 'contacts' as you have proved yourself the fob works perfectly, just not when the casing is closed on it signifying the case is dislodging the battery in some way to lose contact!
