Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing the Battery

Locate the Opening

First, locate the small area on the left side of the key fob. This is where you will insert the flathead screwdriver to open the key fob.

Insert the Screwdriver

Next, insert the flathead screwdriver into the opening. Hold the key fob firmly and twist the screwdriver. This will start to separate the key fob’s two halves.

Separate the Key Fob

Once the key fob begins to come apart, you can either continue using the screwdriver to twist along the opening or pull the two halves apart with your fingers. Be careful to avoid damaging any internal components.

Remove the Rubber Part

Inside the key fob, you will see a rubber part covering the battery. Remove this rubber part to access the battery.

Extract the Old Battery

Use the flathead screwdriver to carefully lift the old CR2032 battery out of its compartment. Be cautious not to damage the metal parts underneath.

Insert the New Battery

Take the new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side (the side with the writing) is facing down. Place it back into the compartment easily.

Reassemble the Key Fob

With the new battery in place, carefully position the circuit board back on top of the battery. Ensure it sits nicely in place. Then, click the two halves of the key fob back together.

Testing the Key Fob

After reassembling the key fob, test it to ensure it works correctly. Press the buttons to check if the key fob is responsive. If it doesn’t work, double-check to make sure the battery is properly installed.

Conclusion

Replacing the battery in your Jeep Compass key fob is a simple and quick task. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily replace the battery and ensure your key fob continues to work properly.
