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.
