These Tricks Will Save You When Your Key Fob Dies

Introduction
We’ve all been there—you’re ready to leave, and when you press the button on your key fob, nothing happens. Whether you’re running late or just plain frustrated, a dead key fob can be a major inconvenience. But don’t worry! Before you panic or resort to calling a tow truck, here are some clever tricks you can use to save the day when your key fob dies.

Trick #1: The Old-Key-In-The-Fob Trick
Many modern key fobs come with a hidden key inside, which is often overlooked. In most vehicles, there’s a small physical key hidden within the fob itself. To access it, simply press the release button or slide the fob open (depending on your model). Once you’ve retrieved the key, use it to manually unlock the door. This is a great temporary solution to get you inside, but you’ll still need to address the dead fob issue to start the car.

Trick #2: Replace the Battery in the Fob
This might sound like an obvious one, but many people forget that replacing the battery in your key fob is actually quite simple. Most fobs use small, coin-sized batteries like CR2032, and replacing them can be done at home with minimal effort. Here’s a quick guide:

Look for the tiny screws or the seam that allows you to open the key fob.

Gently pry it open, being cautious not to break any clips.

Replace the old battery with a new one, ensuring it’s placed in the same orientation.

Close the fob, and try it out!

If you don’t have a spare battery, you can visit a local store, or some places even offer to replace the battery for a small fee.
