Gather Your Tools
Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need:
- Flathead screwdriver
- CR2032 battery
- 5 minutes of your time
Having these items on hand will make the replacement process quick and easy.
Remove the Internal Key
The first step is to remove the internal key from the key fob. To do this, hold down the button on the bottom of the device and pull out the internal key. Set the key aside for now.
Open the Key Fob
Using your flathead screwdriver, insert it into the keyhole. Pry gently until you hear a crack, indicating that the key fob is starting to open. Continue to pry and twist the screwdriver until the key fob separates enough to pull apart with your fingers.
Handle the Circuit Board
Once the key fob is open, you might see the circuit board fall out. If this happens, don’t worry. Simply match the three rubber pegs on the circuit board with the corresponding slots in the key fob housing. This will ensure the circuit board is seated correctly.
Remove the Old Battery
Now, it’s time to remove the old battery. Use your flathead screwdriver to gently pry the battery out of its compartment. Be careful not to damage the surrounding components. Save any small pieces that come out with the battery.
Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery and insert it into the metal component, positive side down. Ensure the battery clicks into place and sits flush within its compartment. This will ensure proper functionality.
Reassemble the Key Fob
With the new battery in place, you can now reassemble the key fob. Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they click into place. Finally, reinsert the internal key into the key fob.
