CHANGING THE BATTERY IN YOUR KEY FOB

If your key fob has suddenly stopped working it may be because your battery has died. Replacing that battery is fairly simple and new batteries are not hard to come by.

First off if you didn't already know this, there is an actual key hidden in your key fob. To remove the key look for a shape near the key ring part of your fob and press it and you should be able to remove the key.

ACCESSING THE BATTERY

With the key removed the back panel of the key fob can now be removed. Using a small flat head screw driver inserted into the smaller rectangular hole on the right, gently lift up the back panel. Pop the battery out and replace. My battery was a CR 2450 Battery
