How do I replace a Dodge Durango key fob battery?

The key fob for my 2018 Dodge Durango is getting a little jumpy. It usually won’t unlock my vehicle on the first try so I’m thinking it’s time for a battery change. How do you replace a key fob battery for a 2018 Dodge Durango?

Usually, key fob batteries need to be changed every three to four years, so it sounds like you’re in that range now. You can easily replace a
Dodge Durango
 key fob battery by:
  • Turning the
    key fob
     over to reveal the small button used to release the physical key. Press the button to pop the key out
  • Above the slot where the key came out should be another gap. Slide a flathead screwdriver or a quarter into the gap and gently twist your tool so that the key fob casing comes apart
  • Remove the old battery. You can use the screwdriver or coin to pry it out
  • Insert the new battery with the positive side facing down
  • Snap the two sides back together and put the physical key back in its slot
Easy right? Once you’ve handled this car maintenance task, you can move on to handling your
car insurance
 policy. Use

How much does it cost to replace fuel injectors?
My uncle and his partner want to sell me their used car for cheap, but there’s a problem: they say it needs new fuel injectors. That’s why they’re asking for a smaller amount. I don’t know what that means or how much they cost to buy. So how much does it cost to replace fuel injectors?

How old do you need to be to rent a car in Tennessee?
I’m flying into Nashville for a concert, and I thought I’d rent a car there and go to Memphis for a few days. I’m 24 years old, so I’m not sure if I’m old enough to make this happen. In Tennessee, how old do I need to be to rent a car?
