Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Remove the Internal Key

First, flip the key fob over to locate the button on the bottom of the back side. Hold this button down and pull out the internal key. This will give you access to the battery compartment.

Step 2: Access the Battery Compartment

Next, look at the front of the key fob. There’s a button that allows the entire piece to slide out. Hold the key fob firmly, press the button, and pull the tab out. You might need to wiggle it a bit, but it will come out.

Step 3: Remove the Old Battery

Once the battery compartment is accessible, simply remove the old CR2032 battery. Be careful not to damage any of the internal components while doing this.

Step 4: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side is facing down. Place the battery into the compartment, making sure it sits securely in place.

Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob

Now, slide the battery compartment back into the key fob. Push it all the way down until it clicks into place. Finally, reinsert the internal key.

Step 6: Test the Key Fob

To ensure everything is working correctly, press any button on the key fob. If the light activates, you’ve successfully replaced the battery and your key fob is good to go.
