Occasionally your key fob battery might run out of battery as any well-used machine might, and it’ll be time to replace it. While this might seem like a hassle, Volkswagen crafts their vehicles with quality parts that are easy to repair. As a result, it’s easier than you think to replace the key fob battery yourself if you’d rather save some time. Our Peoria Volkswagen dealership wants nothing more than for our customers to have a great on-the-road experience, so we’re offering some tips to replace the key fob battery yourself.
Easy Steps to Replace Your Key Fob Battery in Peoria
If your key fob is no longer working, it’s most likely that the battery has died. To replace it, start by opening the key by pushing the metal button on the key fob. Then you’ll want to hold the fob with the “VW” on top. You’ll see that the key is split into two, and the side that is opposite of the logo should open with either your fingers or a screwdriver. When you remove the top, use a flat tool to remove the batteries. You’ll want to replace the battery with a “CR2032” battery with the + side facing downwards.
If you find that replacing the battery is more difficult than you had thought, or your key fob still isn’t working once you replace the battery, you should visit our Volkswagen service center in Peoria. Our helpful technicians are here for anything you need, whether it be your car parts like your key fob, or more serious auto repairs.
