Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Open the Key Fob
First, locate the small slot on the side of the key fob. This is where you will insert the flathead screwdriver.
Insert the screwdriver into the slot and turn it like a key. This will separate the two halves of the key fob.
Once you have created an opening, use your fingers to gently pry apart the two halves. Be careful not to damage the internal components.

Inside the key fob, you will find a rubber component that houses the circuit board. Carefully remove this component and set it aside.
Now, you will have access to the battery compartment.
Step 3: Remove the Old Battery
Using your tool, gently lift the old CR2032 battery out of the compartment. It should come out easily.
Dispose of the old battery properly, following your local regulations for battery disposal.
Step 4: Insert the New Battery
Take the new CR2032 battery and ensure that the positive side (with the text) is facing down.
Position the battery into the compartment and press down gently until it clicks into place.
Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob
Place the rubber component with the circuit board back into the key fob.
Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they click into place.
Congratulations! You have successfully replaced the battery in your Chrysler Town & Country key fob.
