Chevrolet Corvette Key Fob Battery Replacement (2008 – 2019)

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Chevrolet Corvette key fob is a straightforward process. Whether your key fob has four, five, or six buttons, the procedure remains the same. In this guide, I will show you how to replace the battery quickly and efficiently.

The only tools you’ll need are a flathead screwdriver and a CR2032 battery. You can purchase these batteries online, and I have provided a link to Amazon where you can get them for a few dollars.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Remove the Key

The first step is to hold down the button on the front of the key fob while pulling out the bottom key. Set the key aside for now.

Some people suggest using this key to open the fob, but I advise against it. It can damage your key fob.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

Locate the seam along the edge of the key fob. This seam runs all the way around the device. Insert your flathead screwdriver into this seam and gently wiggle it to create an opening.

Once you have a small opening, insert the screwdriver further and twist it to open the key fob completely. Continue twisting and sliding the screwdriver until the key fob is fully open.

Step 3: Remove the Old Battery

With the key fob open, you will see the battery inside. There is a small opening around the plastic housing of the battery. Use your flathead screwdriver to gently pry the battery up from this opening.

Make sure to be gentle to avoid damaging any components. Once the battery is loose, remove it and set it aside.

Step 4: Insert the New Battery

Ensure your new battery is a CR2032 battery. The positive side, marked with a plus sign, should be facing down.

Take the small metal component that came out with the old battery and reattach it to the new battery. The flat bottom of this component should be against the battery.

Place the new battery and metal component back into the key fob, aligning it with the housing. Press it down until it is securely in place.

Step 5: Close the Key Fob

Once the new battery is in place, snap the two halves of the key fob back together. Make sure to line up the edges properly before pressing them together.

Reinsert the key into the bottom of the key fob. Your key fob should now be operational with the new battery.

Conclusion

Replacing the battery in your Chevrolet Corvette key fob is a simple process that can be completed in under five minutes. By following these steps, you can save time and avoid the hassle of a non-functional key fob.
