Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to replace the battery in your key fob:
Step 1: Open the Key Fob
To begin, locate the opening on the bottom of the key fob near the keyring. Insert a flathead screwdriver or a coin into this opening and give it a twist. This will start to open the key fob. You can then pull it apart with your fingers.
Step 2: Remove the Old Battery
Once the key fob is open, you will have access to the battery. Use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry the battery out. If you used a coin to open the fob, you can also use it to tap the battery out gently. Be careful not to dislodge any metal components inside the fob.
Step 3: Insert the New Battery
Dispose of the old battery properly. Take the new CR2025 battery and make sure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Push it into place securely.
Step 4: Reassemble the Key Fob
Finally, click the two pieces of the key fob back together. Give it a squeeze to ensure it snaps shut securely. That’s it! Your key fob should now be working with the new battery.
