How to replace the battery of a Ford Explorer key?

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

To replace the battery of a Ford Explorer key, start by removing the mechanical key from the remote. Look for the small release button on the remote and press it to remove the mechanical key. Once the key is removed, locate the slot or opening point on the remote casing. Use a small flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to carefully open the casing, leveraging in the slot. Once the casing is separated, you will notice the battery inside. Take note of the position and orientation of the battery to ensure you insert the new one correctly. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one of the same type, making sure it is oriented correctly. Reassemble the remote casing, pressing it firmly until you hear a click indicating it is closed properly. Finally, reinsert the mechanical key into the remote. Your key should now work properly with the new battery.
