How do I change the car key battery for my Honda?
Can you tell me how to change the car key battery for my Honda? The key hasn’t been working lately and I think I just need a new battery, but it feels silly to go all the way to the dealership just for that.

- Using a jeweler’s screwdriver, remove the screw holding your key together.
- Pry apart the two halves of the key using a flathead screwdriver or a similarly shaped tool.
- Look at your battery to see where the negative and positive ends sit in the battery casing. Then, carefully remove the dead battery from your key.
- Place your new battery in the casing in the same position as the old battery.
- Carefully press the two halves together until you hear a click, then reinsert the screw.
- Test your new battery by pressing the LOCK button.
