Cadillac CT6 Key Fob Battery Replacement Guide (2016 – 2020)

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Cadillac CT6 key fob is a straightforward task. It requires minimal tools and only a few minutes of your time. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step, ensuring that you can easily and confidently replace the battery in your key fob.

The only items you’ll need are a CR2032 battery and a flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have the battery, I’ve provided a link where you can purchase one online. Let’s get started!

Tools and Materials Needed

• CR2032 battery
• Flathead screwdriver

Step-by-Step Instructions

Remove the Internal Key

First, hold down the button on the bottom of the key fob. While holding the button, pull out the internal key. This key will be used to pry open the back piece of the plastic casing.

Pry Off the Back Cover

Insert the internal key slightly into the seam of the back cover. Apply gentle pressure to pry the cover off. You should hear a small snap indicating that the cover is detached. Use your fingers to pull the cover apart fully.

To give you a clearer picture, make sure you insert the key just enough to pry without damaging the housing. This will ensure that the cover comes off easily without any damage to the key fob.

Remove the Old Battery

Once the back cover is off, set the internal key aside. You can now access the battery. Use your fingernail or a flathead screwdriver to lift the old battery out. If you don’t have a screwdriver, a pen or pencil can also work.

Insert the New Battery

Dispose of the old battery properly. Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure that the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Click the new battery into place with the negative side facing up.

Reassemble the Key Fob

With the new battery in place, align the two halves of the key fob. Press them together until you hear a snap, indicating that they are securely connected. Finally, insert the internal key back into its slot.

Conclusion

And that’s it! You’ve successfully replaced the battery in your Cadillac CT6 key fob. This simple process can save you time and money compared to visiting a dealership.
