Step-by-Step Guide
Opening the Key Fob
The first step is to open the key fob. Flip open the key and locate the separation line in the middle of the plastic casing. This line divides the key fob into two halves.
Grab each side of the key fob and pull them apart. If this feels difficult or if the halves are stuck, use your flathead screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver into the back opening and twist gently to pry the halves apart.
Removing the Battery
Once the key fob is open, you will see the battery inside. Depending on your key fob model, it will be either a CR2032 or a CR1632 battery. Gently lift the battery out. If it doesn’t come out easily, use the flathead screwdriver to help lift it.
Inserting the New Battery
Take your new battery and ensure that the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Place the battery into the slot where the old one was.
Reassembling the Key Fob
After the new battery is in place, take the two halves of the key fob and line them up. Squeeze them together until they snap back into place. Make sure the key fob is securely closed before testing it.
