Do you have a Radio Shack or an alarm installation shop near by? They will replace battery for you. The key entrance will not disarm alarm. The small transmitter is need.

The battery is a CR2032. You should be able to get it at any Wal-Mart at the jewelry counter. If not, the dealer should stock a million or so. I know I keep about 30 on hand at all times for my 12 different car lines.

On the CR2032 front, you can buy them on Amazon now, but be careful of fakes/defective coin batteries. I ordered a 10-pack of CR2032's last week for a few stang key fobs that I have and I swear half of them had less than 1 volt of charge in them! (they are 3v batteries). I'm going to do a review of how to detect fakes soon. I've been making "how-to" videos of changing every 'Stang fob battery here: https://fobbattery.com/vehicles/ford/mustang/

Not to mention that it's the same battery for just about every current motherboard on the planet. I buy them in large quantities from US suppliers for pennies a piece.

OBTW, it's likely because the key activation switch in the door lock isn't working. There's a switch that sends a signal to the PCM when the key is used in the door lock.

Yes I know this is an old thread. But maybe someone has the same issue.
