Changing the battery

Key with remote in the head

  1. This type has the buttons built into the key head. The cell is inside that head, between two clipped halves.
  2. Many key heads split along the side seam. Start at the small notch and pry a little at a time.
  3. Replace the cell with the same face showing, and make sure the rubber keypad sits flat before closing.
  4. Snap it closed and press each button. The car still starts with a dead remote battery on most of these keys, because the start chip needs no battery.

A CR2032 is 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 share the same width but not the same thickness, so a swap between them can leave a loose contact or a case that will not close.

Separate remote fob

  1. A separate fob has no key blade inside, so it opens with nothing but a coin or a small screwdriver.
  2. Look for a screw on the back or a notch on the edge. Remove the screw if present, then twist a coin in the notch to split the case.
  3. Replace the cell, keeping the + side where it was, and check the small metal tab still touches it.
  4. Close the fob and test it. If it does not work, open it again and check the cell is seated flat.

A CR2032 is 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 share the same width but not the same thickness, so a swap between them can leave a loose contact or a case that will not close.

If a child might have swallowed a coin cell, treat it as an emergency and get to a hospital right away.
