Solution

1. Preparation

Gather the necessary tools.
Ensure you have a replacement battery (CR2032).
Work in a clean, well-lit area to avoid losing small components.

2. Open the Key Fob

Tools Required: Flat-head screwdriver or a plastic prying tool.

Carefully twist to separate the two halves of the key fob, taking care not to damage the casing or internal components.

Gently pry the old battery out using the screwdriver or your fingers.

Place the new CR2032 battery into the holder, ensuring it is oriented in the same direction as the old battery (positive side facing up).
Press down firmly until the battery clicks into place.

Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they snap back into place securely.
Ensure there are no gaps between the halves indicating improper closure.
