How to Change Battery in 2007 Honda CRV Key Fob

Experiencing a malfunctioning key fob for your 2007 Honda CRV? Before you schedule a service appointment, it’s worth checking the battery. A dead key fob battery is a common culprit for issues like decreased range or unresponsive buttons. The good news is, changing the battery in your 2007 Honda CRV key fob is a surprisingly easy DIY task that can save you time and money.

Identifying a Dying Key Fob Battery in Your 2007 Honda CRV

Several tell-tale signs indicate your 2007 Honda CRV key fob might need a fresh battery:

• Reduced Range: You find yourself standing closer to your vehicle than usual to lock or unlock the doors.
• Intermittent Functioning: The key fob works sporadically, requiring multiple button presses.
• No Response: The key fob completely fails to communicate with your vehicle.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, replacing the battery is a good place to start.

What You’ll Need

• A new CR2032 battery: This common lithium battery is readily available online or at most stores that sell batteries.
• A small flat-head screwdriver: This will be used to pry open the key fob casing.

Changing the Battery: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Locate the release button: On the back of your 2007 Honda CRV key fob, you’ll find a small release button.
2. Open the key fob: Press the release button and gently separate the two halves of the key fob. You can use your fingernail or the edge of a coin if necessary.
3. Identify the battery: Inside the key fob, you’ll see the CR2032 battery.
4. Remove the old battery: Carefully pry out the old battery using the flat-head screwdriver. Avoid touching the battery’s flat surfaces to prevent discharging it.
5. Install the new battery: Insert the new CR2032 battery, ensuring the positive (+) side faces up.
6. Reassemble the key fob: Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until you hear a click, indicating it’s securely closed.
7. Test the key fob: Ensure all buttons function correctly.

Still Having Trouble?

If you’ve replaced the battery and are still encountering issues with your 2007 Honda CRV key fob, the problem might be more complex.

In such cases, seeking professional assistance is recommended.
