Key through the washjing machine

[Cassieap]

The duffer that I am put the key through the washing machine. I pulled it apart and dried it out, and possibly through good design, may have dodged a bullet - it still works. The electronics and battery is sealed and was dry when I pulled it apart. I pulled the back of and noted that there was a o-ring sealing the battery compartment. With the face cover off, there is a rubber seal - the pink thing. Here are pics for reference. For assembly, the open and lock buttons are unique and cannot be interchanged.

I forgot to take a pic of the valet key, but I unscrewed the little phillips head screw separating the key with a black plastic head, for the want of a better word, from the silver end cap to dry as well but the key is sealed.

It is good to see the inside of the remote has an O-ring around the battery. Thanks for posting the pics. It is good that yours still works. Those remotes are expensive to program, my dealer quoted 1 hour labor ($140.00 usd). They seem to cost over $50.00 used on ebay.
