Tools You Will Need
Before starting, ensure you have the necessary tools. A precision screwdriver set is essential for this task. You can purchase one from Amazon.com. Additionally, you will need a CR1620 coin battery, which is also available on Amazon.
Step-by-Step Battery Replacement
Follow these steps to replace the battery in your Honda Civic key:
1. Locate the Screw
Flip the key fob over and locate the small screw on the back. This screw secures the key fob’s two halves together.
2. Remove the Screw
Using a precision screwdriver, carefully unscrew the tiny screw. The first time you do this, it might be tough because the screw is tightly secured. Apply downward pressure to ensure the screwdriver doesn’t slip.
3. Open the Key Fob
Once the screw is removed, locate the small slot on the side of the key fob. Insert a flathead screwdriver into this slot and gently twist. The key fob will start to separate into two pieces.
4. Access the Battery
With the key fob open, you will see the CR1620 coin battery. Carefully use the flathead screwdriver to pop out the old battery.
5. Insert the New Battery
Take the new CR1620 coin battery and ensure the positive side is facing down. Insert the battery, starting with the top side first, to make the process easier.
6. Reassemble the Key Fob
Snap the two halves of the key fob back together. Ensure they are securely aligned before proceeding.
7. Replace the Screw
Finally, reinsert the small screw and tighten it with the precision screwdriver. Your key fob is now ready to use with a fresh battery.
