How to Change a Maserati Key Fob Battery

A dead key fob battery can turn your luxurious Maserati into a very expensive paperweight. Don’t let that happen to you! Changing the battery in your Maserati key fob is a quick and easy process you can do yourself. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to get your key fob back in action and your Maserati back on the road.

What You’ll Need to Change Your Maserati Key Fob Battery

Before you get started, gather these simple tools:

• A small flathead screwdriver: This is for prying open the key fob casing.
• A fresh CR2032 battery: This is the standard battery for most Maserati key fobs. You can usually find them at grocery stores, drugstores, or online.

Pro Tip from John Miller, Automotive Electrician: “Always make sure you’re using a high-quality battery in your key fob. Cheap batteries can leak and damage the internal components.”

Steps to Change Your Maserati Key Fob Battery

Here’s a step-by-step guide to changing your Maserati key fob battery:

1. Locate the key release button: This button is usually found on the back of the key fob.
2. Release the valet key: Press the key release button and slide the valet key out of the fob.
3. Identify the seam: With the valet key removed, examine the sides of the key fob for a small seam or groove.
4. Gently pry open the casing: Carefully insert the flathead screwdriver into the seam and gently pry the two halves of the fob apart. You’ll hear a slight click when it separates.
5. Remove the old battery: The battery will be sitting in a small compartment. Gently remove it by lifting it from the edges.
6. Install the new battery: Make sure the positive (+) side of the new battery is facing up, then place it in the compartment.
7. Reassemble the key fob: Align the two halves of the fob and press them together until you hear them click back into place.
8. Test the key fob: Try locking and unlocking your Maserati to make sure the new battery is working properly.
