Changing 00056-ADU10 Remote Start Key Fob Battery Replacement

Changing the battery in your 00056-ADU10 remote start key fob is a simple process that can save you time and money. This guide will walk you through each step, providing clear instructions and helpful tips to ensure a successful battery replacement.

Understanding Your 00056-ADU10 Remote Start Key Fob

The 00056-ADU10 key fob is a common remote start device used in various vehicles. Knowing its specific features and functions is essential for proper maintenance, including battery changes. Common issues with a dying battery include decreased range, intermittent functionality, or complete failure to operate.

How to Change Your 00056-ADU10 Remote Start Key Fob Battery

Before you begin, gather the necessary tools: a small flathead screwdriver, a new CR2032 battery (or equivalent), and optionally, a small plastic pry tool.

1. Locate the battery compartment: Most 00056-ADU10 key fobs have a small notch or seam along the edge. This is where you’ll insert the flathead screwdriver.

2. Open the fob: Carefully insert the flathead screwdriver into the notch and gently pry open the casing. Avoid using excessive force, which could damage the fob. If you have a plastic pry tool, this can be even gentler on the fob’s plastic.

3. Remove the old battery: Once the casing is open, you should see the CR2032 battery. Gently pry it out using the screwdriver or your fingernail.

4. Install the new battery: Insert the new CR2032 battery, ensuring the positive (+) side faces upwards, the same way the old battery was oriented.

5. Close the casing: Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them together firmly until you hear a click.

6. Test the fob: Try locking and unlocking your car and using the remote start function to confirm the new battery is working correctly.

What if my 00056-ADU10 Key Fob Still Doesn’t Work?

If you’ve replaced the battery and your key fob still isn’t functioning, there could be other issues. Perhaps the fob needs to be reprogrammed, or there may be a problem with the vehicle’s receiver.

“A common mistake people make is inserting the battery incorrectly. Always double-check the polarity,” says John Smith, Senior Automotive Technician at Smith’s Auto Repair. “Also, make sure you’re using the correct type of battery – a CR2032. Using the wrong battery can damage the key fob.”

Troubleshooting Common 00056-ADU10 Key Fob Issues

• Key fob not working at all: Check the battery installation and try reprogramming the fob.
• Intermittent functionality: This usually indicates a weak battery, even if it’s new. Try a different brand of CR2032.
• Reduced range: This could also be a battery issue or a problem with the vehicle’s receiver.

“Another less common issue could be a broken button or internal damage to the key fob itself. If you suspect this, consult a professional,” advises Maria Garcia, Electrical Systems Expert at Garcia Auto Electric.

Changing the 00056-ADU10 remote start key fob battery is a quick and easy task. By following these steps, you can keep your key fob functioning correctly and avoid the inconvenience of a dead battery.
