Very stupid design. It was so easy to change the battery in the key of my previous car which is another brand. No tool was needed and the key wouldn't be damaged at all. This Ford key though, you have to use a screwdriver, which is already is stupid. What's worse? The screwdriver is made of metal. After applying force to the soft plastic inside the tiny hole a couple of times, it's finally opened but the plastic joint has already been damaged. As we all know how expensive it is to replace a factory key, I can't help but believe that Ford use this stupid design on purpose. The material itself is cheap in cost and they charge so much for a key replacement. Think about the profit margin there!
Awesome that you watched this video. If it helped, click the subscribe button and get informed about new videos from me.
Excellent tutorial - I had already destroyed one fob trying to do this without tuition - thank you.
Could of mentioned it takes a CR2032 battery.
Very helpful. Could not open my key for my 2017 Focus. Have now succeeded in fitting new battery. Thank you.
Much more efficient than a lot of tuto's I've seen :)
This is only the second correct video on how to change a fob battery. 👍 well done.
A Genius video without wasting time! ❤️🙏
Most useful many thanks.
Its a BIG thumbs up from me.
Thank you - seems ridiculous I now have to buy a screw driver in order to change my car battery!
You don’t need to - it’s designed for the security key to open the second part - not a screwdriver 😂
Thank you so much. Helped in 2023
Thank you. Battery CR 2032 3V
After changing the battery mine wont lock or unlock car, if I put old battery in (almost dead battery) it works. Key isn’t damaged.
I’m facing same issue, have you been able to fix yours ?
@@bukolajanet4682 I haven’t tried again yet, if you find out let me know and I’ll let you know 😅.
@@bukolajanet4682 hello, what battery are you using? I was trying Duracell but I tried energiser and they work.

Super Tip, vielen Dank!
Thanks a lot! Do You know is it possible to buy the back cover with logo Ford? My looks very tired 😁 maybe it has FINIS no.??
The whole key housing is little too fat for comfort.
Thanks
Thanks for tip
Thank buddy
Thanx
can we use its key manually?
Yes, the security key (inside) will always work, even with dead-key battery and/or dead car-battery, it's mechanical.
Where do I get the car?
It comes with the key ;-)
Brilliant thanks, job ✔ done
The security key should be used to open the second part - not a screw driver 😂
battery number?
