Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Nissan Murano key fob is a straightforward task that can save you both time and money. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to replace the battery in your key fob, whether you have the three-button, four-button, or five-button version. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

Before we dive into the process, make sure you have the following items:

• Flathead screwdriver
• CR2032 battery

You can easily find these items online or at your local hardware store. For convenience, I’ve included links where you can purchase them at a great price.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to replace the battery in your Nissan Murano key fob:

1. Remove the Internal Key

First, flip the key fob over and locate the switch on the back. Hold down this switch and pull out the internal key. This will allow you to access the battery compartment.

2. Open the Battery Compartment

With the internal key removed, look at the bottom of the key fob where the key came out. You’ll see a small slot or indentation on the right side. Insert your flathead screwdriver into this slot and twist gently to open the key fob.

Be careful not to damage the plastic. If you find it difficult to open, try working your way down the side of the key fob, twisting gently until it opens.

3. Remove the Old Battery

Once the key fob is open, use the same flathead screwdriver to gently pry the old battery out from the side. Be careful not to damage any internal components while doing this.

4. Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Insert the battery into the compartment and snap it into place.

5. Reassemble the Key Fob

With the new battery in place, click the two halves of the key fob back together. Make sure everything is aligned properly before giving it a final squeeze to secure it.

Finally, reinsert the internal key into its slot. Congratulations, you’ve successfully replaced the battery in your Nissan Murano key fob!

Why Replace the Battery Yourself?

Replacing the battery yourself offers several advantages:

• Cost savings

Dealerships often charge a significant amount to replace key fob batteries. By doing it yourself, you can avoid these unnecessary expenses and have your key fob working in no time.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

If your key fob isn’t working even after replacing the battery, consider these troubleshooting tips:

Check the Battery Orientation

Ensure the positive side of the battery is facing down. Incorrect orientation can prevent the key fob from functioning.

Inspect for Damage

Check for any damage to the key fob’s internal components. If you notice any issues, you may need to replace the entire key fob.
