Buick Key Fob Battery: When It’s Time

How do you know when you need a Buick key fob battery replacement? First, the range at which the key fob works will be greatly reduced. It won’t be as effective at unlocking and locking your doors from a distance. As the battery wears down even more, the Buick key fob might stop working altogether.

How to Take Apart a Buick Key Fob

Not sure how to change the battery in a Buick key fob? Learning how to take apart a Buick key fob is easy. It’s very similar to removing batteries from a kids’ toy or a remote control. Simply follow these instructions on how to take a Buick key fob battery apart and how to handle Buick key fob battery replacement.

Follow these steps:

1. Press down on the button on the top of the key fob that releases the internal key. Usually, a key fob has a regular key embedded inside so that the car can still work with a conventional key in case the Buick key fob stops working completely.
2. Once the key is removed, notice a slot in the middle of the space. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the key fob between the two small dents where the physical key used to be.
3. Remove the Buick key fob battery cover.
4. After you’ve removed the battery cover, you can see the battery. Remove the silver disc with the screwdriver or manually by hand.
5. Confirm that the new Buick key fob replacement batter is the correct size.
6. Install the new battery by pushing it into the gap with the positive side facing downward.
7. With the battery locked into place, reattach the cover and click the two sides together, as you should hear them snap into place.
8. Then you should be ready to go now that you’ve completed your Buick key fob battery replacement.
