The most recent fob for the Edge contains an easy-to-change CR2450 battery inside. Keep reading for detailed guidelines or scroll down for a video to see how to change the battery in this key fob.

You will need:

• a small flathead screwdriver

• a CR2450 battery

Step 1:

Depress the release button above the remote buttons and pull out the valet key. 

Step 2:

Flip the valet key to the back. Now, insert the valet key into the slot beside the valet key and twist. Twisting the valet key will make the back cover pop out. 

Step 3:

You will have access to the old battery as soon as the back cover pops off. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the small hole above the key, and the weak or dead battery will pop out. 

Step 4:

Now fix in the new battery with the positive side facing up (note that the positive side is the side with texts) and the negative side away from you.

Step 5:

Return the battery cover after you have replaced the old battery. Check for the notch below the cover, and ensure it stays in place on the key remote.  Press it slightly to ensure it stays in place.

step 6:

Finally, return the valet key.  You can now verify whether your fob remote works. Keyless entry and exit into and out of your car can now be as seamless as before.

Step 3:

Flip the fob key over and the old battery will pop right out. Now install the new one with the positive side facing you.

Step 4:

 Place the rubber cover back in and place the two halves back together.  That’s it., you can test the key. Your fob remote will now be back to working properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of battery does a Ford Edge key fob take?

Most Ford Edge key fobs use the LiCB CR2032 3V Lithium Battery(10-Pack). For optimal use, good cost, and good quality, use the Duracell CR215 3V Lithium batteries with CR Lithium batteries. You can also get it at good prices on Amazon(online or physical store).

Does it make a difference what kind of battery I put in my key fob?

Although CR2032 and CR2025 3-volt batteries are used in most automobile keys, this does not indicate that all key fobs can use these batteries. Battery requirements vary from manufacturer and vehicle to vehicle. The owner’s manual should contain information, features, and instructions about the precise model. You can always check the key fob that you are now using if the owner’s manual is not at reach.

 

Bottom Line

The key fobs in your vehicle are controlled by a wireless signal transmitted from the key fob, powered by a battery. Although a fob key battery can last from two to five years or more, if the battery in the key fob is weak, you might not be able to get into the car or remotely start it. Do not wait till your fob key goes off completely. Are you getting low battery signals already? Then change the battery now.
