Nissan Key Fob Replacement
Modern Nissan vehicles come with a myriad of features that keep drivers safe. One of those features is a key fob. If you find that your Nissan key fob isn't functioning correctly, then it requires an upgrade to the battery.
It is simple to change the Nissan key fob's battery. You will only need an ordinary screwdriver.
Reprograming
The KeyLab on the vehicle is an essential element. The small remote lets car owners access their car's locks and keys and also start it from a distance. Like all devices, this one can have issues. In certain instances the issues can be solved by changing the program of the key fob to recognize the vehicle. It is not so difficult as it could seem and most Nissan drivers can do it themselves.
The owner must first remove the mechanical key from the slot located at the front of the key fob. This is a safety measure to stop anyone from not allowing the car to start when they are close to it. After the key is removed the notch will appear on the top of the fob. This can be turned with an screwdriver to break the two parts of the fob. Then, the battery must be removed and replaced with a brand new one. Be sure to make use of a CR2025 battery, since it is the one that is used in Nissan key fobs.
It is a good idea, when the new battery has been installed, to test the keyfob's functionality by pressing any buttons while standing far from the vehicle. If the car responds in a manner, for example, flashing its lights or signaling that it is ready to start the reprogramming process has been successful.
Replacement
Modern key fobs are a handy method to open your car doors or start it up. Like any other gadget they are not long-lasting. If you notice that your Nissan Intelligent Key remote starts malfunctioning, it may be time for a replacement battery. If your remote is dead and you're left stranded if you have to go to the office near Detroit or run essential errands in Southfield or spend a night out near Troy.
It's easy to replace the battery in your Nissan Intelligent Key. Begin by flipping your key fob over and pushing an unassuming slider on the back. This will open the back portion of the fob. This will reveal an undiscovered mechanical key inside. This key must be removed before you can replace the battery inside the fob.
Then, using a flat-headed screwscrewdriver, turn the notch at the top of your fob. This will split the casing of the fob in two pieces, and allow you to remove the old battery. Remember to note the positioning of the old battery, because you'll have to put the new one in in the same position to ensure your fob works correctly. After inserting the new battery in, clip the two halves of your Nissan Intelligent Key back together and test it out to determine if it functions as you expect it to.
Repairs
Your key fob is the ticket for your next adventure. If it's not functioning or isn't working it could put you in danger of missing out on your next journey. Nissan's certified technicians as well as experts on parts are here to assist you!
First, make sure that your key fob requires replacement batteries. The majority of key fobs utilize the CR2032 standard 3V battery that you can find in multipacks in most stores for less than $5 USD. Change the battery is simple enough, but remember that you'll need gloves and avoid touching any sensitive electronic devices and batteries that have magnets in close proximity.
After replacing the battery, see if your key fob is still not functioning correctly. Buttons can be misaligned and stuck when keys are tossed around. In this scenario, changing the buttons could do the trick.

Modern electronic key fobs offer more convenience and functions than the traditional manual car keys. However, batteries can become depleted and will require replacement. You can easily replace the battery yourself at a major box store or hardware store. The process is simple, and your Nissan owner's manual or YouTube videos can provide step-by-step instructions.
Be careful when you open the fob case, but it should not be too difficult to do it. You should also not use magnets near the battery since they could damage the inner workings of the fob. After you've purchased the new battery, you can put it in the fob and test it to ensure everything is functioning properly.
It's important that you record the key number in case you have lost your Nissan key fob. This will help your dealer make a replacement key for you and get you on the road faster. You can find a trusted key fob in Nissan Parts and Accessories, or visit the local dealership for assistance. If you are covered by an existing warranty, the dealer will also be able to handle any service adjustments not related to fob replacements such as wheel balancing and refrigerant recharges. These types of repairs are usually covered by the warranty for up to 12 months or 12,000 miles.
