Problem: 2008 Smart ForTwo has a second key fob that does not work. Battery replacement was attempted but the key still does not function.

Solution: Check battery contact points in key fob for firm contact; bend contact points upward if they are not making firm contact with battery. If problem persists, contact a local locksmith with key fob reprogramming capability.

Key facts: - Owner has two keys; one works fine, one does not work at all - Battery replacement did not resolve the issue - Smart Service Center quoted $500 for new key + $170 reprogramming - One responder had similar issue caused by loose battery contact points that was fixed by bending contacts upward - Suggestion to use local locksmith for reprogramming as alternative to dealer service
