Need to replace the battery in your Ford Fiesta key? Let's go through the battery replacement process. Take your remote key and use a screwdriver to pry open the back until the piece separates.

Once the key is apart, open the key cover and remove the worn battery: take a new one of the same size and voltage and fit it inside the plastic casing. Reassemble the remote by pressing the key cover until you hear it click into place.

Attach the key to the rest of the remote. Check that the remote key functions correctly using the designated buttons.
