Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Locate the Slot
First, look at your key fob. You’ll notice a small indentation or slot. This is where you will insert your flathead screwdriver.
Step 2: Insert the Screwdriver
Take your flathead screwdriver and insert it into the slot. Gently twist the screwdriver until you see the key fob start to open. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the key fob.
Step 3: Open the Key Fob
Once you have a small opening, you can use your fingers to pull the key fob apart. If it’s still tight, use the screwdriver to twist a bit more until it comes free. Set the two halves of the key fob aside.
Step 4: Remove the Rubber Buttons
Inside the key fob, you’ll see a rubber component with buttons. Carefully lift this rubber piece and set it aside. This will expose the battery compartment.
Step 5: Remove the Old Battery
Now that you can see the battery, use your fingernail or the flathead screwdriver to lift the old CR2032 battery out of its compartment. It should pop out easily.
Step 6: Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side is facing down. Click it into place in the battery compartment.
Step 7: Reassemble the Key Fob
Place the rubber component with the buttons back into the key fob. Make sure it sits nicely in place. Then, take the two halves of the key fob and click them back together.
