Gather Your Tools
First, you’ll need to gather a few essential tools to get started. These include:
- CR2032 battery
- Flathead screwdriver
If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can easily purchase one online. I recommend getting it from Amazon for convenience.
Remove the Internal Key
Begin by locating the button on the bottom right of your key fob. Press and hold this button while pulling out the internal key. This key will be used to pry open the back section of the key fob.
Pry Open the Key Fob
Insert the internal key into the small lip inside the key fob. Be careful not to push it in too far. Once it catches on the lip, gently pry up until you hear a click. This indicates that the key fob has started to open. You can now pull it apart with your fingers.
Remove the Old Battery
With the key fob open, locate the battery. Use your flathead screwdriver or a pen to gently pry the battery out. Dispose of the old battery properly.
Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a “+”) is facing down. Click the battery into place securely.
Reassemble the Key Fob
Once the new battery is in place, align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they click. Reinsert the internal key, and your key fob is ready to use.
