Rachel Davis
Are you have problems with your Jeep’s key fob? If so, it might be time for you to change the battery. The more you use the key fob for your Jeep, the weaker the batter will get. Eventually, it will take longer for your Jeep to respond to the key fob. There might be delays where you have to press buttons more than once for it to work or even get closer to the vehicle. In this article, I’ll explain how you can replace the battery for your Jeep key fob.

The Jeep key fob consists of two pieces that are plastic and that snap together. Once you’ve opened the key fob, you’ll see that there is a small circuit board, as well as the rubber keypad, and of course, the actual battery.
Before you get started, you will need to have these items:
- A Small Flathead Screwdriver to remove the screws
- Also, a New CR2032 Battery to replace the current one
Once you have these items, you’ll then be able to go follow these instructions so that you can successfully replace the battery in the key fob for your Jeep.
- Insert the flathead screwdriver directly into the key fob seam, which is located next to the keyring mount.
- Press down gently on the very top of the screwdriver that you are using so that you can force the segments of the key fob apart at the seam. However, you have to make sure that you don’t use a twisting action because you would only end up damaging the plastic.
- Take out the old battery from the housing that it is in.
- Insert the new CR2032 replacement battery, ensure that the negative side of the battery is down.
- From there, you will need to insert the circuit board into the keypad. Once that’s done, you will have to out the keypad right into the key.
- Lastly, snap the two halves of the key fob together.
