Lighted Key Battery Question

[SpartanToJo]

My OEM key has a light integrated into the black plastic key head. One of the PO's took out the battery, so I do not have a reference number for replacement.

The key head is trapezoidal, with a round button on one side and PORSCHE on the bottom of the other, along with the letters DOM.



Does anyone have a key like this that can help out with the battery number?

Thanks,

Tom

Manual says 1.4 or 1.5v. I think this is a no brainer for a dealer parts dept.

Ha! You obviously haven't been to my dealer. I have to lead the parts guy through PET whenever I want to order something.

In response to the OP, I have the same key, and the only text on the battery is:
MZ625
BUTTON CELL

Mine is dead, so if you a duracell or something commonly available that works, I'd be interested to hear about it.

Try Radio Shack, they have this battery.

There was an earlier post on converting the battery to a standard battery and using an LED replacement.

I did this to mine years ago and it still works like a charm...

Just happen to have two spares sitting in my office desk drawer. # is L1560
Googled that and came up with this:

I did the LED conversion. It's simple, easy, and effective.

Hey Captain Carrera, (great name!)

Where did you get the LED conversion? And do you have the part number?

Thanks.

Cordially, Greg
