Is your Hyundai key fob acting up? Before you schedule a trip to the dealership, a dead battery might be the culprit. Luckily, changing the battery in your Hyundai key fob is a simple task that you can do yourself in minutes! This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, saving you time and money.

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

Before you begin, gather these few items:

A fresh CR2032 battery: These are readily available at most stores.
A small flat-head screwdriver: A precision screwdriver set comes in handy for this.
Your Hyundai key fob: Have it ready to go!

Steps to Change Your Hyundai Key Fob Battery

Here’s a step-by-step guide to get your key fob back in action:

Locate the key fob release button: On the back of your Hyundai key fob, find the small button or switch.
Release the metal key: Press the release button and gently slide the metal key out of the fob.
Identify the battery compartment: With the metal key removed, you’ll see a small slot or indentation. This is where the battery lives.
Open the battery compartment: Carefully insert the flat-head screwdriver into the slot and gently pry open the compartment. Be careful not to damage the casing.
Remove the old battery: Note the orientation of the battery (+/-). Gently remove the old battery.
Insert the new battery: Place the new CR2032 battery into the compartment, ensuring it matches the same +/- orientation as the old battery.
Close the battery compartment: Align the cover and press it firmly until it snaps shut.
Reinsert the metal key: Slide the metal key back into its slot until you hear a click.
Test the key fob: Try locking and unlocking your car doors to ensure the new battery works correctly.

Pro Tip from John Smith, Senior Automotive Technician: “If your key fob still isn’t working after replacing the battery, there may be a programming issue. Consult your owner’s manual or contact a Hyundai dealership for assistance.”
