Tools and Materials Needed
Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools and materials:
- CR2032 coin battery
- Number zero Phillips head screwdriver
If you don’t have a number zero Phillips head screwdriver, I recommend purchasing a quality set of small screwdrivers. They are affordable and useful for various tasks.
Removing the Internal Key
The first step is to remove the internal key from the key fob. To do this, hold the switch on the side of the fob and push it while pulling out the internal key. This will expose the screw that needs to be removed.
Locating and Removing the Screw
Once the internal key is removed, locate the small screw inside the hole. Use your number zero Phillips head screwdriver to twist out the screw. Be careful not to lose it.
Separating the Key Fob Halves
After removing the screw, use the screwdriver for leverage to separate the two halves of the key fob. Insert the screwdriver into the hole and gently pull back. Carefully pull apart the two halves, making sure not to touch the circuit board inside.
Removing the Old Battery
With the key fob open, locate the battery. Use a small tool to gently pry out the old CR2032 battery from its compartment. Be cautious not to damage any components.
Inserting the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side, marked with a plus sign and text, is facing down. Snap the new battery into place, making sure it is securely positioned.
Reassembling the Key Fob
Once the new battery is in place, align the two halves of the key fob. Press them together firmly to ensure they are connected. Replace the small screw you removed earlier and tighten it with your screwdriver.
