This guide shows how to replace the battery in older Jeep remotes, which are the traditional devices featuring a physical key. The first step is to remove the rear casing using the designated recess on the side of the remote, using a flathead screwdriver for assistance.

At this point, detach the button module and the circuit board from the rear plate, freeing the battery.

Replace the old battery with a new CR2032 and reassemble everything by reversing the steps. No specific tools are required for this operation.
