Somehow I have gotten along with a fob who's indicator light hasn't worked for a while and never since I have owned the car, so I guess I'm not smart enough to see the value of this apparently "valuable" asset. At least I now know what it is supposed to be.
Mine does not work either and hasn't for quite some time now. So I guess it only works on strong batteries, as for depleting the power in the battery I would not worry too much, my batteries have been in the fob since I purchased the car six years ago they still work and even if they do go titty up the key works just fine.
