This older slim smart key has a small CR2032 battery that is about a 60-second swap! Easy to change. Scroll down for my video or keep reading for the guideline that shows you the exact guide for the Ford Edge key fob battery replacement in this Edge fob:

You will need:

• a flathead screwdriver

• a CR2032 battery

Step 1:

Locate the latch behind the key fob and pull it towards you to pull out the valet key. 

Step 2:

Check for an open slot beside the valet keyhole. Use a flathead screwdriver or the valet key to pry the fob key till the remote comes apart in halves. 

Step 3:

As soon as the key fob comes apart, one side carries the circuit board while the other houses the dead battery. Set aside the part with the circuit board. 

Step 4:

Use a paperclip or small flathead screwdriver to pry out the old battery. Install the new battery with the positive side facing down. Note that the positive side is the part with texts.  

Step 5:

Place the two halves together and pop them back into place. Slide the valet key back in, and your key is all set! You can now lock and unlock your vehicle with ease.

You will need:

Step 2:

When you twist in both notches, the key will come apart in two halves. After opening up the key, remove the rubber covering in the key and you’d have access to the old battery. 

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.
