      Hi. I changed my battery a few weeks ago, and it was fine, but now my key hob is acting up. It looks like I have to replace that CR2016 again. How long is the life span of this battery?

  • @anthony9550
    @anthony9550 2 года назад +51

    Crazy, the Dealership told me that I would have to pay $100 for a whole new key. Paid 6$ for a new battery and all is well. You saved me $94. Defiantly subbing

    • @Andy-im3kj
      @Andy-im3kj 4 месяца назад

      What's worse is that they'll charge people $1000s for their internal coverage for that key and it'll cost a fraction of that to just get a new one yourself along with the battery.
      Dealerships suck.

    • @stevegreenhorn934
      @stevegreenhorn934 3 месяца назад +4

      Dealerships are a bunch of crooks. I just changed my battery too. Cost me only $1.25 for a three pack of CR 2016 at the local dollar store.

    My wife told me today she had a problem with her key and was thinking about taking it to the dealer to get the battery changed. I guess we saved time and money with this tutorial. It took no more than 15 mins. picking up a battery at a nearby store and replacing the old one. Thank you very much. Very useful and detailed tutorial.

    The battery for my 2017 Rav4 was a CR2032 and the reason I know this is because the last time I went to a car part place the salesman put it in for me and there were 2 in the package and I still had the 2nd battery. But thank you for your video as I couldn't remember how to take the key fob apart.

    • @Natasha-yx1tz
      @Natasha-yx1tz 3 месяца назад

      I'm hoping this is the same for my 2018 bc I already have a pack of those bc it's what my blood sugar monitor takes.

  • @barbaraphares1

    Your tutorial was so simple! I worked at a dealership and know how valuable this video is. Ordered a sleeve of CR2016 from Amazon ($3 and change for a 5pack).Followed the steps...took me less than a minute. Took more time getting the battery out of its protective casing ;-) Posted on Facebook how your video helped. Just finished my other key. Only a matter of time before it dies. Thank you so much...Great Video.

    Great video. Used coins (dime & nickel) to pop the cases. Replaced the battery in kind (expiration date was 2033) and reassembled. Works great and saved $244.99 from my local hardware store key maker. Dealer prices are $400+. Thanks again!! By the way I checked the new button battery voltage which was 3.3 volts so it was not past it's expiration date.

    The battery in one of my remotes died on my 2015 so I bought a two pack and changed both. After the change neither remote worked. The batteries I used were Duracell with the bitter childproof coating. Reading that other people were having issues with Duracell batteries, I switched to Energizers and both remotes worked perfectly. The Duracell’s had a use by date of 2031. I don’t know if I just got some bad ones or the coating had something to do with it, but they did not work at all. I did try cleaning the coating off with alcohol. The voltage was good at 3.2. I won’t be using Duracell’s anymore in remotes.

    Thanks. I just went to the dollar store and purchased a pack of 3 batteries for $1.30. So it cost me $0.50 to change each of the fobs, instead of paying the dealer an arm and a leg. Oh, and I used the change (a dime) to open it.

    changed the battery with a Duracell and it doesn't seem to be working. does the fob possibly need to be reprogrammed if the old battery had been dead for a while?
    Edit: I took it apart again, and went to test just the battery-holding part. Battery may not have been fully seated. as I pressed each button I could feel the battery move. finally the car started to respond. reassembled and tested again successfully!

  • @HelenGlazer
    @HelenGlazer 7 месяцев назад
