Changing a Dead Battery in a Nissan Key Fob

You press the unlock button on your key fob. Nothing happens. You get a bit closer to your vehicle and try again. Still nothing. It has a dead battery. What a pain! No worries. It’s a simple fix that only takes a minute or two.

Here’s how to change a dead battery on your Nissan key fob. Keep reading for our step-by-step guide.



Changing Nissan Key Fob Battery

While changing out your Nissan model’s key fob battery is a straightforward process, it does involve touching sensitive and fragile electronics. To avoid damage to the key fob, make sure to wear a pair of gloves (latex or non-latex substitute). The Nissan key fob uses a CR2032 3V battery. You can usually get a multipack of these for under $5 USD. You’ll also need a small flathead screwdriver.

  • Flip Nissan key fob to back side
  • Move small slider to unlock emergency key
  • Remove emergency key
  • On the top of the key fob, locate open notch between front and back halves of fob
  • Insert flathead screwdriver into notch
  • Turn screwdriver until front and back fob halves separate
  • In the back fob half, locate the dead CR2032 3V battery
  • With the flathead screwdriver, pop out dead battery
  • Insert new CR2032 3V battery + side down
  • Click new battery into place
  • Line up front and back fob halves
  • Squeeze them back together until everything clicks into place
  • Replace emergency key into its slot
  • Move slider back into place to secure emergency key
