If the range of your Chevy key fob has diminished or the buttons are not responding as they should, it may be time to replace the batteries. Replacing the batteries in a Chevy key fob is a simple and straightforward process that can be completed in just a few minutes.
To begin, gather the necessary materials. You will need a new battery (CR2032), a small Phillips head screwdriver, and a flathead screwdriver. Locate the key release button on the back of the key fob and press it to release the key blade. Then, use the small Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold the key fob together.
Once the screws are removed, carefully separate the two halves of the key fob. You will see the battery located in a small compartment inside the fob. Use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry the battery out of its compartment. Be careful not to damage the battery or the key fob. Insert the new battery into the compartment, making sure that the positive side of the battery is facing up. Then, carefully reassemble the key fob, making sure to tighten the screws securely.
