Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side, which has the text and the plus sign, is facing down. Click the new battery into place.
Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob
Once the new battery is in place, slide the battery compartment back into the key fob. Press it all the way down until it clicks into place. Then, reinsert the internal key.
Step 6: Test the Key Fob
Finally, test your key fob to make sure you did everything correctly. Press a button and check if the light comes on. If the light is activating, then you have successfully replaced the battery.
