How do you replace the key fob battery on a Honda?

I have a 2019 Honda Ridgeline Sport and it’s the truck I’ve always dreamed about owning! Unfortunately, the key fob has been acting strangely. I think it just needs a new battery. How can I replace the remote battery for a Honda key?

In most cases, key fob batteries last around three years, so you’re right on the verge of needing a new battery anyway. Thankfully, replacing the remote battery on a
Honda Ridgeline Sport
is surprisingly easy.
Just follow these steps to replace the key fob battery on a Honda:
  • Locate the tab on the back of the key fob. Push or pull this tab to remove the spare key.
  • Slide the key out and use it to pry apart the key fob.
  • Use the tip of a pen to gently pry the battery out. Take care not to break any of the plastic tabs on the edge.
  • Replace the battery with a fresh CR2032 battery, which you can buy for about $2.
  • Reverse the process to put the key fob back together.
Replacing the battery shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. While your car is top of mind, why not spare an extra minute to find better car insurance at a better price? The
