How to change the battery in a Ford car key

Model: Ford Ford Various
Part: Key

The video refers to Ford keys with a retractable blade; therefore, it does not matter which car they belong to, as they all operate in the same way. You will need a small flat-head screwdriver and a new CR2032 button battery, which can be found at any electronics store or supermarket. Extend the blade, find the hole on the underside of the key, and insert the screwdriver, prying upwards: the rear cover will detach with a "click". Remove the cover completely and extract the battery, paying attention to the polarity, so that the new battery is placed in the same position; replace the cover, align it, and press until you hear a click.
