Toyota Camry Key Fob Battery Replacement Guide (2007 – 2011)

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Toyota Camry key fob is a simple task that you can do at home. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step. All you need is a flathead screwdriver and a CR1632 battery. If you don’t have a CR1632 battery, you can purchase one from Amazon.com.

Tools and Materials Needed

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools and materials ready:

• Flathead screwdriver
• CR1632 battery

Step 1: Remove the Internal Key

First, locate the small button on the side of the key fob that says “push.” Hold down this button while pulling on the key ring to remove the internal key. This will expose the keyhole and a small opening perpendicular to it.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

Insert the flathead screwdriver into the small slot next to the keyhole. Hold the key fob loosely and twist the screwdriver. You should hear a cracking sound as the key fob opens. Once it is open, use your fingers to pull it apart completely.

Step 3: Remove the Old Battery

Inside the key fob, you will see the CR1632 battery. Use the flathead screwdriver to gently lift the battery out. Be careful not to damage any internal components. Simply press down and pry out the battery.

Step 4: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR1632 battery and ensure that the positive side is facing up. Insert it into the key fob, making sure it clicks into place securely. The positive side should be visible, with the “+” sign and text facing you.

Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob

Align the key fob halves correctly, ensuring the battery is at the bottom. Press the halves together until they click back into place. Reinsert the internal key by sliding it back into its slot.

Step 6: Test the Key Fob

After reassembling the key fob, press any button to ensure the small light on the key fob lights up. This indicates that the new battery is working correctly. If the light does not come on, double-check that the battery is installed properly.

Replacing the battery in your Toyota Camry key fob is a straightforward process that takes only a few minutes. By following these steps, you can save time and money by doing it yourself. If you found this guide helpful, feel free to let me know in the comments or give this guide a like.
