Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to replace the battery in your Cadillac XT6 key fob:
Removing the Internal Key
First, locate the button on the bottom right of the key fob. Press down firmly on this button while pulling out the internal key. This might require some effort, but once the button is pressed, the key should slide out smoothly.
Prying Open the Key Fob
Next, you’ll use the internal key to pry open the back section of the key fob. Insert the key back into the keyhole just enough to catch on the lip. Be careful not to insert it too far, as this will make prying difficult.
Once the key is in place, gently pry up to create an opening. You should feel a snap as the back section begins to separate. Use your fingers to pull apart the two halves of the key fob.
Removing the Old Battery
With the key fob open, you can now remove the old battery. Use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to gently lift the battery out of its compartment. Dispose of the old battery properly.
Inserting the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Click the new battery into place, making sure it is secure.
If you need to buy the battery, you can find it on Amazon.
Reassembling the Key Fob
After the new battery is in place, align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they snap back into place. Finally, reinsert the internal key by sliding it back into its slot.
