How to Change Battery on 2018 Honda Key Fob

A dead key fob battery can be a major inconvenience, leaving you stranded and unable to unlock your car. Luckily, changing the battery in your 2018 Honda key fob is a quick and easy process you can do yourself. This guide will walk you through the steps, so you can get back on the road in no time.

What You’ll Need:

• A small flat-head screwdriver
• A new CR2032 battery (often found at grocery stores, pharmacies, and auto parts stores)

How to Change the Battery:

1. Locate the release button. On the back of your Honda key fob, you’ll find a small button. This releases the metal key hidden inside the fob.
2. Release the metal key. Press the release button and gently pull out the metal key.
3. Open the key fob. With the metal key removed, you’ll see a small slot. Insert the flat-head screwdriver into the slot and gently pry open the key fob. You should hear a click when it separates.
4. Replace the battery. Inside the key fob, you’ll find the CR2032 battery. Carefully remove it and replace it with the new one, making sure the positive (+) side is facing up.
5. Reassemble the key fob. Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until you hear a click.
6. Test the key fob. Ensure the battery replacement was successful by testing the lock, unlock, and panic buttons.

“Many car owners overlook the importance of regularly checking their key fob battery,” says John Smith, Senior Automotive Technician at Car Care Central. “A dying battery can cause intermittent issues with your key fob’s signal, leading to frustration and potential lockouts. Replacing the battery every two to three years can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.”
