Why is my Road Glide key fob not working?
Before we dive into the replacement process, let’s look at some common reasons why your key fob might be giving you trouble:
- Dead Battery: This is the most likely culprit. Like all batteries, key fob batteries have a limited lifespan.
- Distance: You need to be within a reasonable range of your bike for the key fob to work.
- Interference: Other electronic devices or radio frequencies can sometimes interfere with the signal from your key fob.
- Key Fob Programming: In some cases, a key fob might need to be reprogrammed to your motorcycle.
What kind of battery does a 2015 Road Glide key fob take?
Your 2015 Road Glide key fob uses a CR2032 battery, a common type of lithium coin battery. These are readily available at most drugstores, supermarkets, and online retailers.
How to Replace Your 2015 Road Glide Key Fob Battery: Step-by-Step
Replacing the battery in your Road Glide key fob is a surprisingly easy task. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Open the Key Fob: Locate the small seam or slot on the side of the key fob. Use a small flathead screwdriver or a coin to gently pry open the case. Be careful not to damage the internal components.
- Remove the Old Battery: Once the key fob is open, you’ll see the CR2032 battery. Carefully remove the old battery, noting which side is facing up (usually the positive “+” side).
- Insert the New Battery: Place the new CR2032 battery into the key fob, making sure it sits in the same orientation as the old battery.
- Close the Key Fob: Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until you hear a click, indicating the case is securely closed.
Testing Your New Key Fob Battery
After replacing the battery, it’s always a good idea to test the key fob to ensure it’s working correctly:
- Lock and Unlock: Try locking and unlocking your Road Glide using the key fob buttons.
- Start the Engine: If your key fob also has an engine start function, test that as well.
