If you’re like most drivers, you probably use your key fob every day. From simple functions like locking your car doors to convenient features like push-button start and hands-free tailgate entry, your Ford

 

  1. Examine the back of the remote. Locate the release button and press it. This should release the plastic back cover.
  2. Remove the back cover and set it aside. There should be an emergency key behind the cover. Remove it. If the emergency key isn’t there, you can use a regular flathead screwdriver for the next step. You won’t be able to see the batteries yet — they’re beneath another layer.
  3. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the second plastic back off of the key fob. One side of the key fob will contain a green circuit board, while the other piece holds the batteries.
  4. The CR2025 batteries are stacked on top of one another, with a piece of paper between them. Note whether the positive or negative side of the battery is facing you. Remove both batteries and set the paper aside.
  5. Replace the batteries with fresh ones, and make sure to install them in the same way that the previous batteries were installed. Replace the paper that was between them. 
  6. Replace the second back cover, and put the emergency key back into place.
  7. Snap the front and back parts of the key fob back together.
  8. Test out the key fob by locking and unlocking your car’s doors.
