Nissan Key Fob Replacement
Modern Nissan cars are fitted with a myriad of features that ensure the safety of drivers. A key fob is one of these features. If your Nissan key fob isn't working properly, it could require an upgrade to the battery.
It is easy to replace the Nissan key fob's battery. You'll need only an ordinary screwdriver.
Reprograming
The key fob is one of the most vital components of any vehicle. The tiny remote allows owners to lock and unlock their cars and start from an extended distance. Like all gadgets it can experience problems. In some cases, these problems can be resolved by changing the code on the key fob so that it can recognize the vehicle. It is not as complicated as it might seem and most Nissan drivers can do it themselves.
The owner must first remove the mechanical key in the slot on the front of the key fob. This is a safeguard to stop anyone from not noticing that the engine is running when they are in close proximity to the car. Once the key has been removed, the top of your fob will have an notch that can be made with a screwdriver in order to separate the two halves. The old battery must be removed and replaced by an entirely new one. Make sure you use the CR2025 battery, as it is the battery that is commonly used in Nissan key fobs.
Once the new battery is installed, it's an ideal idea to test the key fob by standing away from the vehicle and pressing any buttons. If the car responds in a manner, for example, flashing its lights or announcing that it is ready to be started it means that the reprogramming was successful.
Replacement
Modern key fobs are a convenient way to unlock your car's doors or even start it up. Like all devices they have a short time of use. It's possible to replace the battery in your Nissan Intelligent Key remote if it begins to act up. If the fob is dead, you could be stranded if you have to go to the office near Detroit or run essential errands in Southfield or enjoy an evening out near Troy.
Luckily, replacing the battery in your Nissan Intelligent Key is relatively easy. Start by flipping the fob and then pushing an unassuming slider on the back. This will reveal the hidden mechanical key inside the fob's back. The key must be removed before you can replace the battery inside the fob.
Next, locate an opening on the top of the fob and use the screwdriver's flat-headed head to turn it. This will split the casing of the fob in two pieces, allowing you to take out the old battery. Note the position of the previous battery because you'll have to put the new one in the same place to ensure that the fob is functioning properly. After you've installed the new battery, snap back the two halves of the Nissan Intelligent Key and test to determine if the device works as expected.
Repairs

After replacing the battery, check if your key fob is not working as it should. Because key fobs experience a lot of jostling the buttons can sometimes become stuck or misaligned. In this case, simply changing the buttons could do the trick.
