The Ford ranger has been in the Ford lineup of trucks since the mid-90’s and is still in production today. It did have an 8 year gap though! Just coming back recently. It has only had 3 different Ford fobs though over the years. I guess truck people aren’t too fancy? Who knows. Either way, if you’re looking for other Ford fobs, check out our full Ford page of fob batteries here.

Alright. So in this video, I'm going to show you how to change the key Fob battery in a Ford Ranger. So this is the reboot of the Ranger that they've done. Starting in 2019, you might have a Fob that looks like this. It's got a flip out key, like so.
So to change the battery, the batteries gone out on your Fob here, flip this out. And then what you need to do is at the base of the Fob here, this backing. This backing comes off. And to separate it, there's a small indentation about right there, or my index fingers pointing, kind of where the lock sign is. And the base of that, if you take a small flathead screwdriver, you can get into the little notch there and pry apart this backing so you can see there's that notch.
So we just put it in there and then we're able to pry off this back and then we can get access to the battery that we need to change, which this is a CR 2032 3 volt battery. Just pop that out. And then when you grab a new one, just make sure that the plus sign is facing towards you. That's the positive sign. It's got the lettering on it.
Pop that back in. New one of those fresh new battery should be good to go. And then the stacking just clips pops right back in. And that's it. That's how you change the Fob battery on a Ford Ranger from the newest version from 2019.

In this video, I'm going to show you how to change the keyboard battery in a Ford Ranger. If you've got this Fob, it wasn't used very often, kind of around 2011 or so. Here's how you change the battery. So the key here is we've got to separate this into two pieces.
Look at the side here, kind of all the way around. There's an edge. And in the upper right corner here, index fingers pointing, there's a little indentation and little notch right there. Right. So if you can get like a small flathead screwdriver or I like using actually just another key into that notch and then twist, you can get some separation between the two parts here.
And it's kind of move your way, especially towards this middle where you might put a keyring and twist. You'll be able to pop off these two pieces. So inside there's an internal 3 volt CR 2032 coin battery. Pop that out. And when you replace this, just make sure that you put the positive side facing towards you.
So the positive side has a ladder in here. Again, this is a CR 2032. Pop that battery back in and then just take the back. Replace it like so pop everything back together. That's it.
Easy. That's how you change the battery and Ford Ranger around 2011 key Fob. Again, you'll need a CR 2032 battery for this.
