I have a 1995 900S, which sounds like what you also have, give or take a year. Just pick up (2) CR2016 lithium batteries at Radio Shack or Wal-Mart and you can change them yourself. Carefully pry the battery cover off of the keyfob using something like a knife blade, slide the old batteries out and the new ones in. While the batteries are out, it's a good idea to carefully inspect the contacts for corrosion and clean if necessary. I use a contact cleaner pen that I picked up at Radio Shack. After installing the new batteries, press the left-button (5) times in succession with the remote pointed at the car to synchronize the remote with the receiver. This is all in the owners manual.
