What You’ll Need
- Small flathead screwdriver
- Torx screwdriver set
- Replacement key shell (if needed)
Step 1: Removing the Key Blade
Start by flipping the key over so that the key blade is facing up. Using a small flathead screwdriver, carefully pry open the key blade retainer. Gently lift the key blade out of the key fob.
Step 2: Removing the Battery Cover
Locate the small notch on the side of the key fob and insert a small flathead screwdriver into it. Gently twist the screwdriver to open the battery cover. Remove the battery cover and set it aside.
Step 3: Removing the Screws
Using the appropriate Torx screwdriver, remove the screws on the back of the key fob. Place the screws in a safe place to avoid losing them. Once the screws are removed, gently separate the two halves of the key fob.
Step 4: Removing the Circuit Board
Inside the key fob, you will find the circuit board. Carefully lift the circuit board out of the shell, being mindful of any attached wires or connectors. Set the circuit board aside in a safe place.
Step 5: Removing the Key Shell
Now that the circuit board is removed, you can easily slide out the key shell from the remaining part of the key fob. If you’re replacing the shell, simply insert the new key shell into the fob.
Step 6: Reassembling the Key Fob
Once you have the new key shell or have made any necessary repairs, it’s time to put everything back together. Slide the key shell back into the remaining part of the key fob and ensure it is securely in place.
Next, carefully place the circuit board back into the key fob, making sure any wires or connectors are properly aligned. Line up the two halves of the key fob and gently press them together until they snap into place.
Step 7: Final Steps
Reinsert the screws using the Torx screwdriver and tighten them securely. Attach the battery cover back onto the key fob, ensuring it clicks into place. Finally, insert the key blade back into the key fob until it locks into the retainer.
