How to Change the Battery in Your Hyundai Palisade Key Fob

If your Hyundai Palisade key fob is acting up, it might be time for a new battery. Don’t worry, it’s a quick and easy process you can do yourself, saving you a trip to the dealership. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting your key fob back in tip-top shape.

What You’ll Need:

A brand new CR2032 battery (the kind you find in watches)
A small flat-head screwdriver
Your trusty Hyundai Palisade key fob

Replacing the Battery:

Locate the release button. On the back of your key fob, find the small, round release button.
Release the mechanical key. Press the release button and gently slide out the mechanical key from the fob.
Separate the key fob halves. With the mechanical key removed, you’ll see a small slot. Carefully insert the flat-head screwdriver into the slot and gently pry open the key fob. It should separate into two halves.
Remove the old battery. Inside, you’ll see the CR2032 battery. Carefully pry it out using the screwdriver or your fingernail. Pay attention to which side is facing up!
Insert the new battery. Place the new battery in the same orientation as the old one. You should feel it click into place.
Reassemble the key fob. Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together firmly until you hear a click, signifying they’re securely joined.
Reinsert the mechanical key. Slide the mechanical key back into its slot on the key fob.

Testing Your Key Fob:

Try locking and unlocking your Palisade. If the key fob works, congratulations! You’ve successfully replaced the battery.
Still not working? Double-check that the new battery is properly installed and that the terminals are clean. If problems persist, consult your Hyundai dealer or a qualified technician.

Pro Tip from John Miller, Senior Automotive Technician:

“When prying open your key fob, be gentle! Too much force can damage the casing. If you’re unsure, watch a tutorial video online or consult your owner’s manual for visual guidance.”
