Your Chrysler Town and Country key fob is essential for daily convenience, so understanding its battery needs is key to avoiding unexpected lockouts. For 2014 models, knowing the correct battery and how to handle it ensures your key fob remains reliable.
The 2014 Chrysler Town and Country key fob typically uses a CR2032 battery. This widely available coin cell battery is known for its longevity and consistent power, making it ideal for key fobs. When your key fob starts to act inconsistently—requiring closer proximity to your vehicle, or failing to respond immediately—a low battery is often the culprit.
Replacing the battery in your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country key fob is a straightforward process you can do yourself. First, locate the small notch on the side of your key fob. Using a small flathead screwdriver or a coin, gently pry open the fob casing at this notch. Once open, you’ll see the CR2032 battery. Note its orientation before carefully removing the old battery. Install the new CR2032 battery, ensuring the positive (+) side is facing up, which is usually indicated in the battery compartment. Snap the key fob casing back together until it’s securely closed.

While battery replacement usually solves most issues, there are times when a new battery might not be enough. If you continue to experience problems after replacing the battery, or if you’re unsure about the key fob’s overall condition, consulting a locksmith or dealership is advisable. They can diagnose more complex issues, such as key fob programming or internal damage. Keep in mind, if you are considering purchasing a new or used key fob online, be cautious as some pre-programmed fobs cannot be reprogrammed to your vehicle. For programming a new fob, typically you need two working fobs already programmed to the vehicle. Dealers or locksmiths have the tools to handle key fob programming and can ensure your remote reliably communicates with your 2014 Chrysler Town & Country.
