Gather Your Tools
First, make sure you have everything you need:
- Flat head screwdriver
- CR2032 battery
If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can buy one online.
Removing the Internal Key
Turn the key fob over and locate the small latch. Push this latch down to remove the internal key.
Once the key is removed, you’ll see the keyhole it came from and a slot right next to it.
Opening the Key Fob
Insert your flat head screwdriver into the slot next to the keyhole. Twist the screwdriver to start separating the two halves of the key fob.
Be gentle to avoid scratching the inside. Work your way down the opening, twisting as you go, until the key fob comes apart.
Removing the Old Battery
With the key fob open, you can see the old battery. Use your finger or the screwdriver to push it out.
Set the old battery aside. Now you’re ready to insert the new one.
Inserting the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery. Make sure the positive side, the one with the text, is facing up.
Insert the battery into the slot, pushing it all the way down into place.
Reassembling the Key Fob
Now, it’s time to put the key fob back together. Align the two halves and press them together until they snap into place.
Check to see if the light on the key fob comes on. If it does, your new battery is working, and you’re good to go!
