What you will need:
- A replacement CR2032 battery
- A small flat-head screwdriver
Step 1: Identify the key type
Before you start, it’s important to determine the type of key you have. The 2009 Ford Fiesta comes with two main types of keys: the standard remote key and the flip key. The method to replace the battery differs slightly depending on the key type. Refer to your key’s user manual if you are unsure about the type.
Step 2: Open the key
To begin, locate the indentation slot on the key’s side. Insert the small flat-head screwdriver into the slot and gently twist to pop open the key. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the key or injuring yourself.
Step 3: Remove the battery
Inside the key, you will see the battery holding compartment. Use the screwdriver to carefully pry out the old battery. Take note of its orientation as you will need to place the new battery in the correct position.
Step 4: Insert the new battery
Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure it matches the old one in terms of size and voltage. Insert the new battery into the compartment with the appropriate orientation. Double-check that the battery is securely placed.
Step 5: Reassemble the key
Once the new battery is in place, carefully close the key by aligning the two halves and pressing them together firmly. You should hear a click, indicating that the key is properly closed and secured.
Step 6: Test the key
Before you put the key back in regular use, it’s important to ensure that the battery replacement was successful. Test the key by pressing the buttons to lock or unlock your Ford Fiesta. If the key functions as expected, congratulations – you have successfully changed the key battery!
We hope this guide has helped you in replacing the battery of your 2009 Ford Fiesta key. Remember to dispose of the old battery responsibly. If you encounter any issues during the process, it may be best to consult a professional locksmith or your local Ford dealership for assistance.
