How to Change Battery in 2015 Ford Explorer Key Fob
Replacing the battery in your 2015 Ford Explorer key fob is a relatively simple task that can be done at home with basic tools. Over time, the battery in your key fob may start to weaken, causing it to become less reliable. In this article, we will guide you through the process of changing the battery in your 2015 Ford Explorer key fob, ensuring that your key fob remains functional and convenient.
Before you begin, gather the following items:
– Replacement battery (CR2032)
– Small flathead screwdriver
– Replacement battery cover (if necessary)
Step 1: Locate the battery compartment
First, you need to locate the battery compartment in your key fob. The battery compartment is typically located on the back of the key fob, near the bottom. Look for a small, circular opening or a label indicating the battery compartment.
Step 2: Remove the battery cover
Using the small flathead screwdriver, gently remove the battery cover. The cover may be held in place by a single screw or by a simple clip. If there is a screw, remove it and set it aside. If the cover is held by a clip, carefully slide it open to reveal the battery.
Step 3: Remove the old battery
Grasp the old battery with your fingers and gently pull it out of the compartment. Be careful not to touch the metal contacts on the battery, as this may cause a short circuit.
Step 4: Insert the new battery
Take the new CR2032 battery and align it with the battery compartment. Make sure the positive (+) side of the battery is facing the correct direction. Gently slide the battery into the compartment until it is securely in place.
Step 5: Replace the battery cover
Once the new battery is in place, replace the battery cover. If the cover was held by a clip, slide it back into place. If the cover was held by a screw, reinsert the screw and tighten it securely.
Step 6: Test the key fob
With the battery cover back on, press the buttons on your key fob to test it. The key fob should now work as it did before the battery change. If the key fob is still not functioning, double-check that the battery is properly installed and that the cover is securely in place.
By following these simple steps, you can easily replace the battery in your 2015 Ford Explorer key fob. This will help ensure that your key fob remains reliable and convenient for years to come.
