Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Remove the Internal Key
First, flip your key fob over. Look for the metal part at the bottom. You will see a button there. Hold down this button and pull out the internal key. This step is crucial to access the battery compartment.
Step 2: Access the Battery Compartment
On the face of the key fob, at the bottom, there is another button. Hold this button down. While holding it, grip the sides of the key fob and start to pull. It may take a little force, but the compartment will begin to open. Wiggle the part out gently until it fully detaches.
Step 3: Remove the Old Battery
With the battery compartment open, you can now remove the old battery. Simply lift it out. Be sure to dispose of the old battery properly to avoid any environmental harm.
Step 4: Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery. The positive side, marked with text and a plus sign, should face down. Click the new battery into place. Ensure it is securely fitted to avoid any malfunction.
Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob
Slide the battery compartment back into the key fob. Push it all the way in until it clicks into place. Once done, reinsert the internal key.
Step 6: Test the Key Fob
To confirm you’ve replaced the battery correctly, check if the light on the key fob turns on. If it does, your key fob is now ready to use with the new battery.
