How to Replace the Battery in a Volvo S60 Key Fob (2004-2009)

Introduction to Key Fob Battery Replacement

Replacing the battery in your Volvo S60 key fob is a straightforward process. All you need is a CR2032 battery and a flathead screwdriver. I will guide you through each step to ensure you can get it done quickly and efficiently.

In this guide, we’ll cover all the necessary steps to replace the battery and ensure your key fob is functioning correctly.

Tools and Materials Needed

Before you start, gather the following tools and materials:

• Flathead screwdriver
• CR2032 battery

You can purchase the CR2032 battery online. I have provided a link to Amazon where you can find these batteries at a great price.

Step-by-Step Battery Replacement Process

Step 1: Flip Out the Internal Key

First, flip out the internal key from the key fob. This will give you access to the battery compartment.

Step 2: Remove the Plastic Cover

Next, you’ll need to remove the oval-shaped plastic cover. Inside the key fob, there is a space where the key was, and a hole right next to it. Insert your flathead screwdriver into this hole.

Push the plastic piece inside the hole upwards. You’ll notice that the plastic cover starts to come off slightly. It won’t come off completely just yet.

Step 3: Pry Off the Back Cover

Once the plastic cover is loose, use your flathead screwdriver to pry off the back cover completely. If you have a precision screwdriver, it might be easier to use it for this step.

Step 4: Remove the Old Battery

Inside the key fob, you’ll find the old battery. Simply knock it out of its place. It should come out easily.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Drop it into the battery compartment. It won’t click into place, but as long as it sits flat, it is correctly positioned.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

Finally, place the back cover back onto the key fob and squeeze it to snap it into place. Your key fob should now be good to go with the new battery installed.

Conclusion

Replacing the battery in your Volvo S60 key fob is a simple task that doesn’t require much time or effort. By following these steps, you can ensure your key fob remains functional for a long time.
