How to Replace the Battery in Your 2013 Hyundai Key Fob

Here’s a breakdown of how to replace the battery in your 2013 Hyundai key fob:

Locate the release button or notch on the back of your key fob. This is usually located near the key ring hole.
Use your flathead screwdriver or coin to gently pry open the key fob casing. Be careful not to damage the casing.
Identify the old battery. It will be a small, round, silver battery.
Carefully remove the old battery. You can use your fingernail or the edge of your screwdriver to pry it out.
Insert the new battery, positive side facing up. Make sure it sits flush in the casing.
Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them together until you hear a click. This indicates that the casing is securely closed.

Testing Your New Key Fob Battery

Once you’ve replaced the battery, test the key fob to make sure it’s working properly. Try locking and unlocking your car doors using the key fob buttons. You should also try starting your car with the key fob nearby.

“Replacing your key fob battery regularly is a simple way to avoid getting stranded,” advises John Smith, Senior Automotive Technician at ABC Auto Repair. “It’s a good idea to change the battery every two to three years, or sooner if you notice the key fob’s range diminishing.”

Still Having Trouble?

If you’ve replaced the battery and your key fob is still not working, there may be a more serious issue. You may want to try these troubleshooting steps:

Check the battery orientation. Make sure the new battery is inserted correctly with the positive (+) side facing up.
Clean the battery contacts. Use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts on both the battery and the key fob.
Try reprogramming your key fob. Your owner’s manual should have instructions on how to do this.

If you’re still having problems with your key fob, it’s best to consult a qualified automotive locksmith or your local Hyundai dealership for assistance.
