How to Replace the Battery in Your Volvo S80 Key Fob

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Volvo S80 key fob is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through each step to ensure your key fob is functioning optimally. Whether you have a five-button or six-button version, the procedure remains the same.

What You Need

Before we begin, gather the following items:

• CR2032 battery
• Flathead screwdriver

If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can purchase one online. I recommend checking out Amazon for competitive prices.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Remove the Internal Key

First, locate the switch on the back of the key fob. Hold down this switch and remove the internal key. This will give you access to the keyhole.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

Insert the internal key or a flathead screwdriver into the keyhole. Push up to partially open the back panel. Once it starts to come off, use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry the panel the rest of the way off.

Step 3: Access the Battery

With the back panel removed, you now have access to the battery compartment. Use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry the old battery up and out of its place.

Step 4: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery. Ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Snap the new battery into place, ensuring it is secure.

Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob

Click the two halves of the key fob back together. Give it a gentle squeeze to ensure it is fully closed. Finally, insert the internal key back into its slot.

Your key fob should now be functioning with a new battery that will last for a long time.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

Battery Not Fitting

If the new battery doesn’t seem to fit, double-check that it is a CR2032 and that the positive side is facing down.

Key Fob Not Working

If your key fob is still not working after replacing the battery, ensure the battery is properly seated and that the key fob is fully closed.

Additional Tips

Here are some extra tips to keep in mind:

• Always use a CR2032 battery
• Handle the battery with clean hands
• Dispose of the old battery properly
