How to Change a Mitsubishi Key Fob Battery

  

If your Mitsubishi key fob isn’t working as it should, it’s likely time to change the battery. A dead or weak Mitsubishi key fob battery can result in slow or inconsistent responses when locking or unlocking your vehicle. The good news is that you don’t need to visit a dealership for a Mitsubishi key fob replacement—changing the battery yourself is simple and can save you both time and money. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you with your Mitsubishi key fob battery replacement.

Steps to Replace Your Mitsubishi Key Fob Battery

Before you begin the process, you’ll need the following tools:

• A small flathead screwdriver (or a similar prying tool)
• The correct Mitsubishi key fob battery (typically a CR2032 coin battery, but always check your owner’s manual to confirm)

Now, follow these easy steps to complete your Mitsubishi key fob battery replacement:

1. Find the seam where the two halves of the key fob meet. This is usually located along the edges of the key fob.
2. Gently insert the flathead screwdriver into the seam and twist to pop the key fob open. Be careful not to apply too much force, as you don’t want to damage the plastic housing.
3. Once the key fob is open, locate the old Mitsubishi key fob battery. Using the screwdriver or your fingernail, carefully remove the battery from its compartment.
4. Take the new Mitsubishi key fob battery and place it into the compartment, ensuring the positive side (marked with a +) is facing the correct direction.
5. After inserting the new battery, align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they click securely into place.
6. Test your Mitsubishi key fob by locking and unlocking your vehicle to ensure the battery replacement was successful.

When to Consider Mitsubishi Key Fob Replacement

While a battery replacement will often solve most issues, if your Mitsubishi key fob continues to malfunction after replacing the battery, it may be time for a full Mitsubishi key fob replacement. Common signs include:

• Inconsistent performance even with a new battery
• Physical damage to the key fob
• Non-responsive buttons after battery replacement

In these cases, it’s best to consult with a dealership or professional service team near Brownsburg to determine if a complete replacement is necessary.
