If you’re experiencing issues with your 2017 Nissan Rogue key fob, like having to stand closer to your car to unlock it or pressing the buttons multiple times to get a response, it might be time for a battery replacement. Luckily, this is a quick and easy fix you can handle yourself, saving you a trip to the dealership. This guide will walk you through the simple steps involved in replacing your 2017 Nissan Rogue key fob battery.
What You’ll Need
Before you start, gather the following:
- A new CR2032 battery (available at most grocery stores, drugstores, and auto parts stores)
- A small flat-head screwdriver or a plastic pry tool
How to Replace the Battery
-
Locate the release button on the back of your key fob. It’s a small, round button typically located near the top.
-
Press and hold the release button while gently sliding the key fob cover off. The cover should pop open easily.
-
Carefully remove the old battery. Note the orientation of the positive (+) and negative (-) sides for installing the new battery.
-
Insert the new CR2032 battery, making sure it’s facing the same direction as the old one.
-
Align the key fob cover and press it back into place until you hear a click, indicating it’s securely closed.
-
Test all the buttons on your key fob to ensure it’s working correctly.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If your key fob still doesn’t work after replacing the battery, double-check that the new battery is installed correctly and that the contacts inside the key fob are clean. You can gently clean the contacts with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.
- If you’re still experiencing issues, there might be a problem with your key fob itself, and you may need to consult your Nissan dealership or a qualified automotive locksmith.
