How to Replace the Remote Battery on a Ford Focus?

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Key

To replace the remote battery on a Ford Focus, pry open the groove that separates the two halves of the device using a flathead screwdriver. Once the two halves of the key shell are separated, you will have access to the components inside: the battery can then be removed from its housing and replaced with a new spare part. After the replacement, close the remote again by joining the two halves of the shell and ensure that everything works correctly.
