If you drive a newer Hyundai model, you will open your key fob differently. Begin by removing the metal key by pressing and holding the metal tab or button. Next, use the metal key to open the back cover on your key fob by inserting it into the small opening and turning it in either direction. The case should pop right open.
If you drive an older Hyundai model, you will begin by finding a small notch or indent along your key fob. Then,use a coin or a flat blade screwdriver to gently pop open the key fob from the notch by turning it in either direction.
Now that you have your key fob open – regardless of whether you drive a newer or older Hyundai – you should carefully lift the circuit board to expose the battery. Take a photo or a note of how the battery is laying in the key fob before removing it. This will make placing the new battery easier.
See what kind of battery your key fob has and buy a replacement. Most Hyundai key fobs run on a CR2032 battery. These are cheap batteries that are easy to find in Fernley or online.
With your Hyundai key fob battery replacement, place it into your key fob using your photo as a reference. Ensure that the battery is making contact with all the appropriate connections.
If you removed a metal key earlier, make sure to replace it when your keyfob is back together.
After you’ve successfully replaced the battery in your keyfob, you’ll need to reprogram it to your vehicle. Don’t worry, this process is as easy as replacing your battery! Read along to learn how to program a Hyundai key fob at your Carson City home.
