How to Replace the Battery in Your GMC Acadia Key Fob (2007 – 2017)

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your GMC Acadia key fob is a straightforward process that can save you time and money. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps needed to replace the battery in your key fob. Whether you have the first or second version of the key fob, the process and battery type are the same.

Tools and Materials Needed

Before you start, gather the following tools and materials:

• Flathead screwdriver
• CR2032 battery

If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can easily purchase one from Amazon. Having the right tools and materials at hand will make the process smooth and quick.

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to replace the battery in your GMC Acadia key fob:

Step 1: Locate the Indentation

First, find the small indentation on the bottom of your key fob next to where the key ring attaches. This indentation is where you will insert your flathead screwdriver.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

Insert the flathead screwdriver into the indentation and gently wiggle it until it pops open. If it feels stuck, twist the screwdriver slightly to help it open. Use your fingers to finish snapping it open.

Step 3: Remove the Circuit Board

Once the key fob is open, carefully remove the circuit board. Sometimes it will fall out easily; other times, you may need to gently lift it by pulling up on the battery itself.

Step 4: Remove the Old Battery

With the circuit board removed, slide out the old battery. If it’s difficult to remove, push from the bottom to make it easier. Dispose of the old battery properly.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Slide the new battery into the metal part and push it all the way down.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

Place the circuit board back into the front of the key fob with the battery facing up. Push down on the battery to secure it. Then, align the back of the key fob and squeeze the two halves together until they snap into place.

Conclusion

And that’s it! You’ve successfully replaced the battery in your GMC Acadia key fob. This process should take no more than five minutes and requires only basic tools. If you found this guide helpful, feel free to explore more tutorials on our website, FobBattery.
