In this video we take a look at the spring button on the side of the 3rd Gen Tacoma Key Fob. This video was requested by Ryen, a viewer that asked about the spring and button on the fob since his came apart while he disassembled it for battery replacement. The button and spring are typically held in place with a tiny washer over the plastic stud either pressed on or ultrasonic welded in place it seems. Hope this video is helpful and thanks for watching!
