Is your 2019 GMC Terrain key fob suddenly not working? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. One of the most common culprits for a malfunctioning key fob is a dead battery. Fortunately, replacing the battery in your 2019 GMC Terrain key fob is a straightforward task that you can easily handle yourself with just a few simple tools. Most GMC Terrain key fobs from this year utilize a 3-volt CR2032 battery, known for its longevity, typically lasting between three to four years. When the time comes for a replacement, you won’t need to visit a dealership right away.
Replacing the battery in your 2019 GMC Terrain key fob is a breeze. You will need a small flathead screwdriver and a fresh CR2032 battery. These batteries are widely available at most department stores, hardware stores, and even online retailers. It’s always a good idea to keep a few extra CR2032 batteries on hand for future replacements.
To begin, locate the small seam on your GMC Terrain key fob. This seam is where you will gently pry open the key fob casing. Insert the flathead screwdriver into this seam.
Be careful and avoid applying excessive force, as you could potentially damage the casing. Gently twist the screwdriver until the back panel of the key fob pops open. With the back panel removed, you will now have access to the battery compartment. Take a close look at the battery’s orientation before removing it. Note whether the positive (+) side is facing up or down. Typically, the positive side of the CR2032 battery in a 2019 GMC Terrain key fob faces towards the back panel of the fob.
Once you have noted the orientation, carefully remove the old battery. Insert the new CR2032 battery, ensuring that the positive side is facing the correct direction, just as the old battery was positioned. After the new battery is securely in place, align the two halves of the key fob casing. Press them firmly together until they snap back into their original position. Ensure that the casing is completely closed and secure.
In most cases, replacing the battery will resolve the issue, and your 2019 GMC Terrain key fob should now be working perfectly. However, if you’ve replaced the 2019 Gmc Terrain Key Fob Battery and are still experiencing problems, there might be a different issue with the key fob itself or your vehicle’s electronic system.
