Tools and Materials Needed
To complete this task, you will need the following items:
- CR1620 Coin Battery
- Flathead Screwdriver
- Small Phillips Head Screwdriver
Step 1: Remove the Screw
First, locate the small screw on the back of your key fob. Using the small Phillips head screwdriver, carefully remove the screw. Place the screw in a safe location to prevent losing it.
Step 2: Open the Key Fob
Next, find the seam along the bottom of the key fob. Insert the flathead screwdriver into this seam and gently twist until the fob snaps open. This will give you access to the battery compartment.
Step 3: Remove the Old Battery
Inside the key fob, you will see the old CR1620 battery. Use a small tool, such as a precision screwdriver, needle, or even a toothpick, to pry the old battery out from its slot. Dispose of the old battery properly.
Step 4: Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR1620 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Slide the battery into the slot, starting with the side that has two plastic tabs. Press down until the battery clicks into place securely.
Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob
Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they snap back into place. Once reassembled, replace the small screw and tighten it with your Phillips head screwdriver.
Step 6: Test the Key Fob
To ensure everything is working correctly, press any button on the front of the key fob. If the light comes on, your battery replacement was successful.
