What You Will Need
Before getting started, you will need the following items:
- Replacement battery (CR2032 or CR1632)
- Flathead screwdriver (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Open the Key Fob
The first step is to open the key fob. To do this, flip out the internal key. You will notice that the device has two halves. Grab each side and pull while wiggling it gently. This should cause the key fob to come apart.
If you find this difficult, you can use a flathead screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver into the opening on the back and twist it. This will help to get the process started and make it easier to separate the two halves.
Step 2: Separate the Halves
Once you have started opening the key fob, continue to hold it open. You can use your fingers to pry it apart. If necessary, use the flathead screwdriver to get better leverage. Insert the screwdriver inside and pry the two halves apart.
Step 3: Remove the Old Battery
With the key fob open, you will find the battery inside. In some cases, the battery may fall right out. If it doesn’t, you can gently lift or pry it up using your fingernail or the flathead screwdriver.
Check the battery type. It will either be a CR2032 or a CR1632. You will need to replace it with the same type of battery.
Step 4: Insert the New Battery
Take your new battery and ensure that the positive side is facing down. Drop it into place inside the key fob. Make sure it is securely seated.
Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob
Take the part of the key fob with the circuit board and buttons and place it on top of the battery. Click it down and slide the two halves back together. Squeeze them until they click back into place. Your key fob should now be fully reassembled and ready to use.
