What You’ll Need:

How to Replace Your 2015 F150 Key Fob Battery:
- Locate the key slot: On the side of your key fob, you’ll find a small, rectangular slot. This is where the key blade is hidden.
- Release the key blade: Insert the tip of your flathead screwdriver (or similar tool) into the key slot and gently pry it open. The key blade will pop out slightly, allowing you to remove it fully.
- Open the key fob: With the key blade removed, you’ll notice a small seam running around the edge of the fob. Carefully wedge your flathead screwdriver into this seam and gently pry open the two halves of the fob. They should separate easily.

- Reassemble the key fob: Align the two halves of the fob and press them together firmly until you hear a click, indicating they are securely closed.
- Test the key fob: Reinsert the key blade and test all the buttons on your key fob to ensure it’s working correctly.
