How to Replace the Battery in a Chevrolet Impala Key Fob (2000 – 2005)

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Chevrolet Impala key fob is a simple task that can save you time and money. In this guide, I will walk you through the step-by-step process to do it yourself. Whether you have the three-button or four-button version, this method will work for you.

Tools You Will Need

Before we dive into the steps, let’s gather the necessary tools. You will need:

• CR2032 coin battery
• A coin
• Flathead screwdriver (optional)

If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can easily purchase one from Amazon.

Step 1: Locate the Seam

First, examine the bottom right side of your key fob. You will see a large opening right next to where the key ring attaches. This is where you will insert your coin to open the fob.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

Take your coin and insert it into the opening. Hold the device gently and twist the coin. The key fob should snap open easily. Once open, set the top half aside.

Step 3: Remove the Old Battery

Now that the key fob is open, you will see the battery. If you have long nails, you can use them to pry the battery out. If not, a flathead screwdriver, key, pen, or pencil can help. Use your tool to get under the battery and lift it out.

Step 4: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery. Ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Align it correctly and snap it into place.

Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob

Finally, align the two halves of the key fob and snap them back together. Ensure everything is secure and properly aligned.
