How to Change Battery on 2015 Mazda Key Fob

Replacing the battery in your 2015 Mazda key fob is a simple task that you can easily do yourself at home with just a few common household tools. Whether your key fob has completely stopped working or you’re just starting to experience intermittent issues, a quick battery swap is often all it takes to get things back in working order. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step and provide helpful tips to make the job even easier.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, gather the following items:

• A new CR2025 battery (this is the type of battery used in most 2015 Mazda key fobs)
• A small flat-head screwdriver
• Optional: A small plastic pry tool (to avoid scratching your key fob)

Step-by-Step Guide: Replacing Your 2015 Mazda Key Fob Battery

Here’s how to change the battery in your 2015 Mazda key fob:

1. Locate the release button on the back of your key fob. This is typically a small, indented button near the key ring hole.

2. Press and hold the release button while gently pulling out the metal emergency key.

3. Identify the seam that runs along the edge of your key fob. This seam indicates where the two halves of the key fob casing are joined.

4. Carefully insert the flat-head screwdriver (or plastic pry tool) into the seam and gently twist to separate the two halves of the key fob. Start at one end of the seam and work your way around until the casing pops open. Be careful not to use excessive force, as this could damage the casing.

5. Locate the old battery inside the key fob. It will be a small, round, silver battery labeled CR2025.

6. Use the screwdriver or your fingernail to carefully pry the old battery out of its compartment. Pay attention to the orientation of the battery’s positive (+) and negative (-) sides.

7. Align the positive (+) side of the new battery with the positive (+) marking in the battery compartment. Gently press the new battery into place until it is securely seated.

8. Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them firmly together until you hear a click. This indicates that the casing is properly closed.

9. Reinsert the metal emergency key into its slot on the key fob.

10. Test all of the buttons on your key fob to make sure they are working properly.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you’re still experiencing issues with your key fob after replacing the battery, here are a few things you can try:

• Check the battery orientation. Make sure the new battery is installed with the positive (+) and negative (-) sides facing the correct direction.
• Clean the battery contacts. Use a cotton swab and a small amount of rubbing alcohol to clean the metal contacts inside the key fob’s battery compartment. Corrosion or debris on the contacts can prevent the battery from making a good connection.
• Reprogram your key fob. In some cases, you may need to reprogram your key fob to your car after replacing the battery. Refer to your Mazda owner’s manual for instructions on how to do this.
• Consult a professional. If you’ve tried all of the above steps and your key fob is still not working, there may be a more serious issue that requires professional attention. Consider taking your car and key fob to a qualified automotive locksmith or dealership for diagnosis and repair.
