Nissan Quest Key Fob Battery Replacement Guide (2011 – 2017)

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Nissan Quest key fob is a simple process that can save you time and money. In this guide, I will walk you through the steps to replace the battery for various models of the Nissan Quest key fob, including three-button, four-button, five-button, and six-button versions. Regardless of the button configuration, the process and battery type remain the same.

Tools and Materials Needed

• CR2032 battery
• Flathead screwdriver

If you don’t have a CR2032 battery on hand, you can easily purchase one online. A flathead screwdriver is essential for opening the key fob to access the battery compartment.

Step-by-Step Battery Replacement

Step 1: Remove the Internal Key

Start by flipping the key fob over. Locate the small release button and hold it down while pulling out the internal key. This internal key is used for manual entry into your vehicle.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

With the internal key removed, you’ll notice a small indentation or seam around the edge of the key fob. Insert your flathead screwdriver into this indentation. Push down gently and twist the screwdriver to pry open the key fob. You’ll hear a cracking sound as the fob begins to open. Be cautious and gentle to avoid damaging the plastic casing.

Step 3: Separate the Key Fob Halves

Once you’ve created a small gap, use the screwdriver to continue prying around the edges of the key fob. Work slowly and carefully until the two halves of the key fob can be separated by hand. This will give you access to the internal components, including the battery.

Step 4: Remove the Old Battery

With the key fob open, locate the battery. Use the flathead screwdriver to gently lift and pry the old battery out of its compartment. Take note of the battery’s orientation, as the new battery will need to be placed in the same way.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Place the battery into the compartment and press it down securely. Double-check that the battery is seated properly to ensure it will function correctly.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they snap back into place. Be careful to keep the internal components level and aligned during this process. Once the key fob is reassembled, reinsert the internal key.
