Introduction to Key Fob Battery Replacement
Replacing a key fob battery might seem daunting, but it’s a simple task that you can do at home. In this guide, I’ll show you how to replace the battery in a Nissan Juke key fob. This process applies to the three, four, and five-button versions of the key fob.
All you need is a flathead screwdriver and a CR2032 battery. If you don’t have these items, you can find them easily online. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process.

Gathering Your Tools
Before starting, make sure you have the necessary tools. You will need:
- Flathead screwdriver
- CR2032 battery
If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can purchase one from Amazon for a great price. A set of precision screwdrivers can also be handy.
Removing the Old Battery
First, flip the key fob over to the back. Locate the small lever or latch and hold it down while pulling out the internal key. This reveals a small slot on the right side where you’ll insert your flathead screwdriver.
Insert the screwdriver into the slot and give it a twist. This action will start to open the fob. Continue to twist the screwdriver gently along the seam until the fob comes apart.
If you’re struggling to find a suitable screwdriver, consider using a set of precision screwdrivers. I recommend the set I use, which has served me well for years.
Replacing the Battery
With the key fob open, you can see the battery. Use the same flathead screwdriver to gently pry up the battery from the side. Carefully lift it out to avoid damaging the contacts.
Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Place the battery in the slot and press it until it clicks into place.
Reassembling the Key Fob
Now that the new battery is in place, it’s time to reassemble the key fob. Align the two halves of the fob and press them together until they snap into place. Insert the internal key back into its slot.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully replaced the battery in your Nissan Juke key fob. This simple process can save you a trip to the dealership and some money.
