Why Does My Key Fob Not Work After Replacing the Battery?

For your remote key fob to work properly, it has to be connected to a receiver in the vehicle. When the battery in the fob is replaced, it can sometimes interfere with the paired connection between key and car, in which case you’ll need to reset it.
There are several reasons your key fob may not work correctly. Some of the most common problems involve the battery contact terminals or the buttons themselves-but it may also be that you simply need to reprogram the key fob so that it’s recognized by the vehicle.

Thanks, your instructions worked! After changing the battery you have to reprogram the FOB/vehicle connection.

I don't have an ignition key, but thanks. Your advice wasn't good enough, but better than most.

You DO have a key. It's inside the fob.

Omg, you SAVED me! Although I purchased my Toyota Corolla in 2018, I had one key fob I never used. It was in my file as a back up. I just went to use it and it didn’t work. I tried other recommendations on KZbin but none of their suggestions help me. Your help has been tremendous and I won’t have to go to the Toyota dealer now or buy another key fob, thank you! thank you! thank you!

Pro Tip. If the steps in this video do not work open it up again and with a small screwdriver get underneath the contacts and pry them upward so battery contact improves. I did this voila FOB was restored.

Hi ladies, I’m a little late but hopefully this helps someone down the road - push button ignition vehicles usually have a key slot in the dash storage, on the passenger side, pointed toward the center of the vehicle.

@trcbyatch 8 ай бұрын

Most (if not all) key fobs have an actual key inside the fob itself. I don't know if it's always the case, but it's likely the key ring loop. There would be a switch or button which is used to release the key. It varies from brand to brand.

@kortniewithak5885 8 ай бұрын

@trcbyatch having a key isn't the problem, we are talking about cars that don't use a key to start. We have push button ignitions. You push a button and the car starts. There's no place to put a key. The key hidden in the FOB unlocks the door.

We don’t have a ignition slot for out 2020 wrangler. We figured out that the key fob was cold. We were on a trip to Utah and live in FL. My hubby put it in his arm pit and it warmed it up.. lol. Also by holding fob to starter push button it started it also.

Thanks, my wife alerted me to not being able to lock her Mitsubishi ASX with the key fob remote button. I went and got new batteries and replaced them in both sets of keys. I tried your methods with no success, only to find she had not shut the tailgate properly. To her credit the door open light was not showing on the instrument cluster. I slammed the tailgate shut and problem fixed. Oh well, at least the batteries are new now.

Thank you 🙏 My key stopped working last night - the dealer replaced the battery and still no go - nor did the spare - Just went out now - opened and slammed shut the boot (tailgate -boot here - I'm in Australia) - and lo and behold it worked again. Yippeeee

I replaced the battery several times and none worked. I took it to Nissan Dealers Parts counter where they have a test meter that shows if the FOB is putting out a signal. It showed no signal from the FOB. They replaced the battery and it worked fine. Same CR2025 but Nissan part. I have no explanation but that's what happened.

If you hold the electronic key right next to the push button even if the keys battery is dead it will start. The electronic key has a transmitter. Has to be right next to the button with foot on break. It will start the car so you can get to the store and buy a new battery. Also when you get the battery don't put it in upside-down like I did. 😅
