Changing the battery in a
Jeep
key fob can feel daunting if you don’t know where to start, but luckily, it just requires a few simple steps.
To change the battery in a
Jeep Cherokee
key fob:
  • Slide the latch that releases the key from your fob and remove the key
  • Use a flathead screwdriver or the key itself to gently pry open the fob
  • From there, you can remove the button panel and circuit board to access the battery, which you can slide out
  • Insert your new battery and reassemble the Jeep key fob
Hope this helps! While you’re at it, you might also want to make sure that Jeep of yours is protected by the right
car insurance
policy.
