Having your key fob die on you can be a major inconvenience. Luckily, replacing the battery in a 2015 Nissan Altima SL key fob is a simple process that you can do yourself in just a few minutes.
Let’s walk through exactly how to do it.
What You’ll Need
Before you get started, you’ll need a couple of things:
- A CR2032 battery (you can find this at most convenience stores or online)
- A small flat-head screwdriver
How to Replace the Battery in Your 2015 Nissan Altima SL Key Fob
Here’s a step-by-step guide to replacing your key fob battery:
- Locate the release button. On the back of your key fob, you’ll see a small, round button. This is the release button for the mechanical key.
- Remove the mechanical key. Press the release button and gently slide the mechanical key out of the key fob.
- Open the key fob. Using your flat-head screwdriver, carefully pry open the key fob case where you removed the mechanical key. There’s a small notch that you can use to get leverage.
- Replace the battery. Once the key fob is open, you’ll see the old battery. Gently remove it and replace it with the new CR2032 battery, making sure the positive (+) side is facing up.
- Close the key fob. Carefully snap the two halves of the key fob back together.
- Reinsert the mechanical key. Slide the mechanical key back into its slot on the key fob.
That’s it! Your key fob battery should now be replaced and working properly.
