Identify the Slot
First, locate the small slot at the top of your key fob. This is where you will insert your flathead screwdriver.
Open the Key Fob
Insert the flathead screwdriver into the slot and twist gently. Hold the key fob loosely as you twist to open it. Once open, set the back piece aside.
Remove the Old Battery
Use a small thin instrument, such as a precision screwdriver, to pry the old battery out. If you don’t have a precision screwdriver, a bent paper clip can also work.
Insert the New Battery
Take a new CR2025 battery and ensure the positive side is facing up. Slide it down into the slot, making sure it fits behind the two small pieces of plastic at the bottom. Click the top of the battery into place.
Reassemble the Key Fob
Line up the back piece with the front and click them back together. Check to see if the light on the key fob comes on, indicating the battery is working.
