Changing the battery in your key fob every few years is a minor but helpful aspect of
car maintenance
. You can follow these steps to change the battery in your
Honda
key fob:
  • Step 1: Release the metal key in your fob by pressing and sliding the button above the Honda logo.
  • Step 2: Pry the fob open by sticking the key back into its slot and gently twisting it sideways.
  • Step 3: Carefully pull apart the two halves, holding your thumb just above the battery to make sure it all stays together.
  • Step 4: Pull out the old battery by gently lifting it out of its slot with a flathead screwdriver or the metal key.
  • Step 5: Put in your new battery, using the + and - symbols to guide you.
  • Step 6: Test your key fob to make sure it’s back in working order!
Key fob batteries only last an average of 3-4 years, so waiting too long can leave you stuck with a metal key. Hopefully, these steps can help you change the battery in your Honda key fob. If you’re still having issues, you can buy a new battery from a local dealer and ask them to change it for you.
