A dead key fob battery can be a real hassle, especially when you’re in a hurry. If you’re driving a 2015 Honda and your key fob is acting up, a dead battery might be the culprit. Luckily, changing the battery in a 2015 Honda key fob is a simple DIY task that anyone can do with just a few tools and a few minutes to spare. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.
What You’ll Need
Before you begin, gather the following items:
- A new CR2032 battery (readily available at most stores)
- A small flat-head screwdriver
- Your 2015 Honda key fob
Steps to Change the Battery
1. Locate the Release Button
Examine your Honda key fob. On the backside, you’ll find a small, indented button. This is the release button for the key fob’s metal key.

2. Release the Metal Key
Press and hold the release button. While holding it down, gently pull out the metal key from the fob. This will expose a small slot or opening.

3. Open the Key Fob Casing
Insert the tip of your flat-head screwdriver into the slot you revealed in the previous step. Gently pry open the casing. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this could damage the fob. The key fob should easily pop open.
4. Replace the Battery
With the casing open, you’ll see the CR2032 battery inside. Carefully remove the old battery. Note the position of the positive (+) side, which is usually facing up. Place the new CR2032 battery in the same orientation, ensuring the positive (+) side is facing the correct direction.

5. Close the Casing
Align the two halves of the key fob casing. Press them together firmly until you hear a click, indicating the casing is securely closed.
6. Test the Key Fob
Test all the buttons on your key fob (lock, unlock, panic, etc.) to ensure the new battery is working correctly.
