How do you replace the key battery on a Ford C-Max? In this video, learn how to replace the battery. Take your remote control and use a screwdriver to pry between the two parts of the key cover.

Pry until the cap separates from the cover; extract the damaged battery with a screwdriver (get a new one of the same size and voltage). Reassemble the two halves of the remote key cover until you hear the locking click.
