Chevrolet Avalanche Key Fob Battery Replacement Guide (2007 – 2013)

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Chevrolet Avalanche key fob is a simple process that takes less than five minutes. This guide will walk you through the steps to ensure you can do it quickly and effectively.

You’ll need a flathead screwdriver and a CR2032 battery. These batteries are easy to find and inexpensive.

Tools and Materials Needed

• Flathead screwdriver
• CR2032 battery

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Locate the Indentation

First, examine the bottom of your key fob where the keyring attaches. You’ll find a small indentation along the seam between the two halves of the plastic. This indentation is where you’ll insert your flathead screwdriver.

Step 2: Insert the Screwdriver

Hold your key fob and align the flathead screwdriver with the indentation. Gently push and wiggle the screwdriver until it fits into the indentation. Once it is securely in place, twist the screwdriver to crack open the key fob.

Step 3: Open the Key Fob

After hearing the device crack open, use your fingers to pull apart the two halves of the key fob. This will give you access to the internal battery.

Step 4: Remove the Circuit Board

Gently lift the circuit board out of the rubber housing. This will make it easier to slide the old battery out. You can also use the flathead screwdriver to push the battery from the bottom until you can pull it out.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Dispose of the old battery properly. Take a new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side, marked with a plus sign and text, is facing up. Slide the new battery into place with the positive side up.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

Place the circuit board back into the front half of the key fob. Then, align the back half and press the two halves together until they snap into place.
