How to Replace the Chevrolet Impala Key Fob Battery (2006 – 2016)

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Chevrolet Impala key fob is a simple task that you can easily do at home. It requires minimal tools and can be completed in under five minutes. In this guide, I will walk you through the step-by-step process of replacing the battery in your key fob.

Tools and Materials Needed

Before you start, make sure you have the following items:

• Flathead screwdriver
• CR2032 battery

If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can purchase one from Amazon using the link provided in the description.

Step 1: Locate the Indentation

The first step is to locate the small indentation on your key fob. This indentation is found on the bottom right of the device, right next to where the key ring attaches. It is a small opening in the seam of the plastic.

Step 2: Insert the Screwdriver

Once you’ve located the indentation, take your flathead screwdriver and insert it into that area. Push and wiggle the screwdriver to pry open the key fob. The key fob will easily crack open, allowing you to pull it apart.

Step 3: Remove the Circuit Board

After opening the key fob, set the back section of plastic aside. The next step is to lift out the small circuit board inside the key fob. This will give you access to the battery.

Step 4: Replace the Battery

With the circuit board removed, push the old battery out of its compartment and dispose of it properly. Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign and text) is facing up. Push the new battery into place.

Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob

Now that the new battery is in place, it’s time to reassemble the key fob. Take the front section of the device, which contains the rubber, and place the circuit board back into its position. Ensure it sits down nicely.

Step 6: Snap the Key Fob Together

Finally, take the back section of the key fob and align it with the front section. Squeeze the two halves together until they snap back into place. Your key fob should now be fully assembled and ready to use.
