Take the new CR2032 battery and place it into the battery compartment, ensuring the positive (+) side is facing up. Gently press the battery down to secure it in place.
Step 6: Close the Key Fob
Carefully align the two halves of the key fob casing. Press them together firmly until you hear them snap into place. Make sure there are no gaps or loose sections to ensure the key fob is securely closed.
Step 7: Reattach the Key Blade
Take the previously removed key blade and slide it back into the slot until it clicks into place. Ensure that the key blade is securely attached to the key fob.
