Introduction

Replacing the battery in your GMC Savana key fob is a simple task that you can do at home. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step. Whether you have the two-button or the three-button version, the procedure remains the same.

Tools and Materials Needed

Before you start, make sure you have the necessary tools and materials. You’ll need:

• Flathead screwdriver
• CR2032 battery

You can find the CR2032 battery on Amazon for just a few bucks.

Step 1: Locate the Slot

First, look at the bottom of your key fob near where the key ring attaches. You’ll see a small slot along the seam. This is where you’ll insert your flathead screwdriver.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

Insert the flathead screwdriver into the slot and gently twist it. The key fob will start to open. Carefully pull it apart with your fingers.

Step 3: Remove the Circuit Board

Once the key fob is open, you’ll see a small circuit board. Lift it out carefully. If the rubber comes out with it, just push it back into place.

Step 4: Remove the Old Battery

Slide the old CR2032 battery out from under the metal clip. Dispose of it properly. Make sure your new battery is a CR2032.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

When inserting the new battery, ensure the positive side with the plus sign and text is facing up. Slide it under the metal clip and push it all the way down.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

Place the circuit board back into the front part of the key fob. Ensure the battery is sitting flat. Finally, snap the back part of the key fob into place.
