Importance of Jeep Key Fob Replacement & Battery Change
Tackling treacherous terrains with an adventurous outlook, using powerful 4x4 technology, having exceptional towing capacity, and enjoying ground clearance that enhances visibility are part of what make Jeeps great. Properly maintaining your Jeep is the backbone to staying safe on and off the road. Minor issues can easily become major problems that jeopardize your safety. Even a seemingly trivial detail like changing your key fob's battery contributes to the overall condition of your car. Avoid situations where you get locked out of your car at an inconvenient time due to an empty battery, and ensure you replace your battery often.
How to Open a Jeep Key Fob
Changing the battery is a simple matter of opening the fob and inserting a fresh power source. Let's start with the steps for opening a Jeep key fob. Get a small flathead screwdriver and press the flathead into the key fob's seam. The best place for this is near the keyring mount. Use the screwdriver to carefully pry the key fob open.
How to Change the Battery in a Jeep Key Fob
Before you begin the installation, have a new battery ready on hand. These batteries are long-lasting and said to be capable of going up to four years. You can procure a new battery from our Parts and Accessories Centre. With the key fob open, remove the old battery and insert the new battery with the negative side facing down. Make sure the circuit board is correctly placed, and then replace the fob's keypad. Finally, snap the two sides together.
