Locate the Indentation
First, look at the top of the key fob. You’ll see a small indentation in the plastic. This is where you’ll insert your flathead screwdriver.
Open the Key Fob
Insert the flathead screwdriver into the indentation. Twist the screwdriver gently. You’ll hear a pop, and the two parts of the key fob will come apart.
Remove the Old Battery
Once the key fob is open, use the same screwdriver to pry out the old battery. Be gentle to avoid damaging the internal components. The battery should come out easily with a little pressure.
Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR2016 battery. Ensure the positive side is facing up. Slide it into place and press down until it clicks.
Reassemble the Key Fob
Now, place the back cover of the key fob over the battery compartment. Press down until you hear it click back into place. Congratulations, you’re done!
