• Carefully remove the old battery, often by pressing on it lightly and lifting it out.
• Take your new CR2032 battery and insert it in the same orientation as the old one, ensuring that the positive side is facing the correct way.

 
Step 4: Reassemble the Key Fob

• Test the key fob by pressing the buttons to ensure that it is functioning properly.
• If it doesn’t work, double-check the battery placement and ensure that the fob is properly closed.
