How to Replace the Key Battery of the Ford Explorer

Model: Ford Explorer MK 5, U502 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Key

Replacing the battery in your car key is fortunately one of the quickest and simplest maintenance tasks. Locate the small plastic button on the back of the cover and remove the cover. By applying slight upward pressure, also remove the entire plastic piece directly underneath. Turn it over and find the small button battery. At this point, simply remove this battery and replace it with a new one. Refit the two components you removed earlier correctly, and you're done. The key battery has been successfully replaced.
