Dodge Key Fob Battery replacement This Easy?

[@captmacdougall160]

Thank you very much for making a quick and to the point video on how to do this mundane maintenance point. I truly appreciate when someone who has done something before makes their demo video and gets right to the matter of what it is and how to take it apart and what is needed; instead of trying to draw a simple thing out 10 plus minutes like they are going to get mad youtube money from it. Everything I needed was in the first 2 minutes. Awesome job!

[@wendypratt9728]

Omg thank u...i knew there was i key inside the fob. I borrowed my dad's car and locked the doors not knowing the battery was dead. Your video save me a locksmith fee and freezing outside. Thanks for making this:)

[@PlumCrazyShaker]

Your welcome!! 😀

[@crazy4disneypooh]

thanks for your video! my husband was going to take our caravan to the dealer. I stopped him and changed the battery myself.

[@bobbyfitzpatrick7499]

I took my Dodge van to the dealer to get the key fob battery changed no it's good it don't need changed So you might as well do it yourself the dealers ain't got no sense

[@elgatogordo9523]

Thanks! Just what I needed. The battery wasn't the issue. The contacts were filthy! It kept locking and unlocking itself. I thought my truck was possessed ")

[@JC-vk7ud]

Also, while splitting the fob open, be super careful that the metal switch does not fall out of place. There is a tiny spring that makes the key click into place a not be able to fall out. No spring means the key can get lost at any moment. 2nd, if the motherboard comes loose from the rubber keys, be on the lookout for these small circles that lay centered on each button. Order of placement is rubber nobs / small loose circles per button / then motherboard. If one of those small circles is not centered then your button becomes very unstable and sensitive. My trunk would pop open very easily just if my keys were in my pocket, until I centered those circles. So just be very careful.

[@thatgaykid420]

BRO YOU JUST HELPED ME FIX A 6 MONTH PROBLEM WITH MY CHALLENGER… I would always have my trunk pop open when I threw my set of keys in the cup holder or had them in my pocket… I figured it was the rear regulator but it still kept happening. I had to buy a whole new key and the battery just died in it

[@Mphoto7]

Great communicator. He makes it easy to replace the battery. Good job.

There’s literally a video for any and everything you may need help with in life. Thank you sir. Dodge Challenger R/T 💪🏾🦁

[@lenineuceda1821]

My spare didn't work. After watching this video. I opened the remote and cleaned it. Now the remote works. Thank you.

[@Vic-ro2rp]

This video saved the day rushing out of the house and noticed the key fob was dead and Lucky for me I had a spare battery, this short and quick video helped out a lot!

[@okieboy7065]

my ram came with one fob and the buttons were wearing out so I got a new one (not cheap by the way). the inside of the old one and the new one were much different. the bracket for the battery fell out when I opened it to put in a new battery and I could not for the life of me figure out how it went in. when I googled it all I could find were fobs like my old one. thankfully I finally found this video which showed me what I needed. Thank you!

[@terryrichards350]

Thank you! Just got a dead minivan for cheap, and needed this to get me started. You've been a great help.

[@bobbyfitzpatrick7499]

Just watched your video on changing battery in a Dodge key fob I have a Dodge van myself Key fob works great now and you don't have to pay dealer fees to get the battery changed Thanks for the video

[@roddogg914]

I need to replace my dad's battery for him...your video helps a lot. Thanks

[@nairbudy6403]

Perfect! Found this as i entered Walmart looking for battery to replace in the key-fob for my ‘14 Shaker (#1279)!

[@PlumCrazyShaker]

#353 here!!

[@10SecondZ06]

Just pull the key a quarter of the way out and pry it up while holding the other half of the down so it splits apart. Works perfectly and no risk of scratching the fob up with the knife or screwdriver.

[@S.Lethrud]

Helped me a ton!!! Quarter like a charm🙌

[@vickyandersen8660]

Thank you

[@ericrowland3246]

Screwdriver doesn’t do anything

[@minizkid]

Dodge ram - Mine had a tiny Philips screw in where the key was removed that I had to remove in order to split the key fob. Slightly different key but very similar. Video helped thanks

[@alyssabaroudi684]

This was awesome, thank you so much. You're right about it feeling like it's going to break. I tried with the pocket screw drivers months ago and was too worried about breaking it, but that butter knife trick was fantastic. I was thinking of trying it before but thought I would definitely break it. After watching you do it I was like, okay, well, let's try it too and I was done changing it within a minute. Thank you!

[@PlumCrazyShaker]

Thanks for watching it!! When I made this video I didn’t think anyone would even take the time to check it out. Thanks I appreciate it!!

[@willborowski4039]

Thank you for making this video. I had a rental car and suddenly the key died. I look this up and it resolved my issue.

THANK YOU!! Saved me a cry and whole lot of stress

THANKS!!😊I have two different fobs and this method worked for both I have a 12 dodge challenger rt manual and a 13 dodge charger rt both black and I love them to death

[@sleepbettr]

Hi. Thanks for this! Only thing I would add, is, it would have been helpful to say what kind of battery it was, so I could purchase it before taking it apart. Couldn't see it on my phone screen. Turns out it was a CR2032 3-volt.

[@captain4542]

Thank you for saving me $500. I had 2 keys that needed batteries replace. Your great!!!!!!

Thanks so much I was so afraid to replace battery before I watch this video. Now My remote works perfect!

[@witwolvin]

I have a 2010 charger, used this video to change batteries (thank you!) and cleaned the back of the board. I still have to mash quite a few times before it'll lock or unlock the car. One of the keys just won't work no matter how many times I mash or want to stomp on it.

[@jeannewhouse7397]

I LOVE your car! My mom had a '71 (or '72) same color. Thanks for the video I was about to drive to dealership because I was afraid I'd break it 🤪

Both key fobs dead at the same time, thank you for the video! If only the key could be used to start the car....

Awesome video. Worked right away. I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee thanks so much

[@slaytonfoldenauer3451]

I just got a 2010 Dodge Charger. The fob has remote start but doesn’t work. Hopefully this fixes it

[@coryharder191]

Thanks so much for this. I felt like I was gonna a break it, and dealer wanted to charge me $5 to change it with my own battery. Getting my 08 Charger R/T back on the road!

You should mention the battery size. I tried to see it in the bidet but it wasn't visible at all. Thanks

@@PlumCrazyShaker sorry i was on my phone and couldn't make it out for the life of me. I managed to get my answer on Google and got the batteries while I was out. Your video was most informative otherwise and with your help changing the battery was a breeze! Thank you so much!

Be sure to check the little circle contacts that touch the circuit when you press the buttons, mine was just out of place, didnt have to change the battery after all!

Hey boss did you have to bypass the transponder to install that push start button? I have same one for dodge charger and same key and i know its a transponder fob.

[@helomedia767]

[@richardabner9420]

While you have it open, take a small piece of paper, folded to the appropriate size, cover the PANIC Button contacts, before reassembly. This will prevent the button, when keys are in your pocket with everything else, having the button depress setting off your PANIC alarm.

[@tacariaddison7728]

I have a 2009 Dodge charger. Would replacing the battery fix other issues I'm having with my car?

Tacari Addison probably will only fix things mentioned. If yours has remote start it could fix that issue while using your remote,

Thank you so much for posting this video

[@penzman]

Be very careful to open it on a flat light colored surface in case tiny saucer shape contacts fall off the backside of the rubber pads. They are glued but sometimes have moved around. If so, it's probably the reason the key was no longer working but do change the battery as well as gluing the contacts back in place to the rubber pad. Give the glue ample time to dry as per instructions so they don't stick to the circuit board.

Does anyone know if the real KEY, that is hidden in the FOB, will start the engine? I have a 2011 Dodge Caravan Van I drive for someone, to get her to doctor appointments, etc,....and I cant recall if that FOB hole in the dash, will accept a KEY. Does it only unlock the glovebox, and doors? Or will it go into the FOB access on the dash to start it ? I have replaced the battery before, it has SO many electric doors/liftgate, etc,...the KEY is missing now on one of the FOBS, so I see that part that is missing, is the KEY part on that FOB, but it is still on the main one I use. So...will it start that van if the FOB goes dead?
