If you’re driving a 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium, you know the convenience of its keyless entry system. But like all key fobs, the battery won’t last forever. Luckily, replacing the battery in your 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium key fob is a simple task you can do yourself in minutes.
What You’ll Need
Before you begin, gather these few items:
- A fresh CR2032 battery (available at most hardware and electronics stores)
- A small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry tool
How to Replace the Battery
Here’s a step-by-step guide to get your key fob working again:
- Locate the Key Slot: On the back of your key fob, you’ll see a small slot. Insert the tip of your flathead screwdriver or pry tool into this slot.
- Gently Pry Open the Key Fob: Apply gentle pressure to release the latch holding the two halves of the key fob together. Be careful not to use excessive force, as this could damage the casing.
- Separate the Key Fob Halves: Once the latch is released, carefully separate the two halves of the key fob. You’ll see the battery located inside.
- Remove the Old Battery: Note the orientation of the battery’s positive (+) and negative (-) sides. Gently pry out the old battery using your screwdriver or pry tool.
- Install the New Battery: Insert the new CR2032 battery, making sure the positive (+) side faces up, matching the orientation of the old battery.
- Reassemble the Key Fob: Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until you hear a click, indicating they are securely closed.
Testing Your Key Fob
After replacing the battery, test all the key fob functions, including locking/unlocking the doors and remote start (if equipped), to ensure it’s working correctly.
“It’s surprising how many people rush to the dealership for a simple battery replacement. Knowing how to do it yourself can save you time and money.” – John Davis, Senior Automotive Technician
Still Having Trouble?
If your key fob is not functioning properly after a battery replacement, it’s possible there’s a different issue. Here are a few things to consider:
- Programming: In rare cases, a key fob may need to be reprogrammed to the vehicle after a battery change. Refer to your owner’s manual or contact a Ford dealership for assistance.
- Key Fob Damage: Inspect your key fob for any physical damage, like cracks or broken buttons, that could be affecting its functionality. If you notice any damage, you may need a replacement key fob.
