Step-by-Step Battery Replacement

Follow these steps to replace the battery in your Chevrolet Tahoe key fob:

Step 1: Locate the Slot

First, look at the bottom of your key fob, near where the key ring attaches. You will see a small slot along the seam between the two halves of the device.

Step 2: Insert the Screwdriver

Insert your flathead screwdriver into this slot. Push it all the way in until it is firmly in place.

Step 3: Open the Key Fob

Gently turn the screwdriver. As soon as you feel the key fob start to open, stop turning. Use your fingers to pull the key fob apart carefully to avoid damaging the plastic with the screwdriver.

Step 4: Remove the Circuit Board

Once the key fob is open, set the back cover aside. Carefully lift out the circuit board. If the rubber component comes out with it, don’t worry. Just align it and push it back down.

Step 5: Remove the Old Battery

Slide the old CR2032 battery out of its slot. Dispose of it properly.

Step 6: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery. Ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Push it into the metal component until it is securely in place.

Step 7: Reassemble the Key Fob

Place the circuit board back into the front half of the key fob, with the battery facing up. Align the back cover and squeeze the two halves together until they snap into place.

Conclusion

And that’s it! You now have a new battery in your key fob, and you’re good to go. This simple process can save you time and money compared to visiting a dealership.
