Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Key

In this short guide, we will see the step-by-step instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the battery of the Ford Focus key remote control. First, take our remote control and start separating the two parts of the remote control shells, levering on the side slit; in this way we will have access to the electronic board and the battery, as shown in the video. At this point, remove the battery and replace it with the new one, of the correct type (in this case a CR 2032 3V); insert it in the correct direction and assemble the remote control, testing its operation.
