How to Replace the Key Battery for the Ford F-350

Model: Ford F-350 P473 - Years 2011-2016
Part: Key

This type of key has a simple and minimal structure, so replacing the battery takes just a few seconds and can be easily done independently without any issues. First, get a small flathead screwdriver and insert the tip into the gap between the back cover and the front cover. Pry gently to separate the two pieces. Inside the top cover, you will find the button cell battery that needs to be replaced. Remove it and insert a new compatible one. Finally, reposition the back cover correctly.
