Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Locate the Keyring Section

Start by examining the bottom of your key fob. You’ll notice an indentation near the keyring area. This is where you’ll insert your flathead screwdriver.

Step 2: Insert the Screwdriver

Next, follow the seam between the two halves of the key fob. Insert the screwdriver into the small corner where the indentation and the seam meet. Wiggle the screwdriver a bit until it sticks in place.

Step 3: Twist to Open

With the screwdriver in place, twist it gently. The key fob should come apart easily. Set the top half aside.

Step 4: Remove the Buttons and Circuit Board

Carefully remove the buttons and the circuit board underneath. Set these components aside as well.

Step 5: Remove the Old Battery

Using your finger, gently remove the old CR2032 battery from its compartment.

Step 6: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side is facing down. Insert it into the battery compartment and snap it into place.

Step 7: Reassemble the Key Fob

Position the buttons back on top of the circuit board. Place the top half of the key fob back on and press it together until it clicks into place.

Additional Tips

If you find it difficult to open the key fob, don’t use excessive force. Wiggling the screwdriver gently should be enough to separate the halves.

Make sure the new battery is oriented correctly. The positive side should always face down.
