Mitsubishi Outlander Key Fob Battery Replacement Guide

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Mitsubishi Outlander key fob is a simple task that can save you time and money. Whether you have the three-button or four-button version, the process is identical, and both use the same CR2032 battery. This guide will walk you through the steps needed to replace the battery in under five minutes.

What You Need

Before you start, gather the following items:

• Flathead screwdriver
• CR2032 battery

If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can purchase one from Amazon.

Step-by-Step Guide

Locate the Slot

First, look at the bottom of the key fob. You will see a small slot along the seam of the plastic. This is where you will insert your screwdriver.

Open the Key Fob

Insert the flathead screwdriver into the slot and twist gently. You should feel the two halves of the key fob come apart. This will give you access to the battery compartment.

Remove the Old Battery

Use the same screwdriver to pry out the old battery. There is an opening in the corner where you can insert the screwdriver to get under the battery. Lift it gently to avoid damaging the plastic tabs. Once it’s lifted, you can pull it out with your fingers.

Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Slide it under the two plastic tabs first and then push down on the opposite side until it sits flat and secure.

Reassemble the Key Fob

Line up the two halves of the key fob and squeeze them together until they snap into place. Your key fob should now be fully reassembled.

Verification

To verify that you have replaced the battery correctly, press one of the buttons on the key fob. If the light comes on, you have done a great job, and your key fob is good to go.

Replacing the battery in your Mitsubishi Outlander key fob is quick and straightforward. With just a flathead screwdriver and a CR2032 battery, you can complete the task in under five minutes. If you found this guide helpful, please let us know in the comments or give the video a like.
