Cadillac CT5 Key Fob Battery Replacement: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Locate the release button. On the back of your Cadillac CT5 key fob, you’ll find a small, round button. This button releases the metal key from the fob.
2. Release the metal key. Press the release button and gently pull out the metal key.
3. Open the key fob. With the metal key removed, you’ll see a small slot. Insert the flathead screwdriver into the slot and gently pry open the key fob casing. Be careful not to force it, as this could damage the casing.
4. Remove the old battery. The old CR2032 battery will be easily visible. Carefully remove it by gently prying it up with your fingernail or the flathead screwdriver.
5. Install the new battery. Place the new CR2032 battery into the compartment, ensuring the positive (+) side is facing up.
6. Reassemble the key fob. Carefully align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them together until you hear a click. This indicates the casing is securely closed.
7. Reinsert the metal key. Slide the metal key back into its slot until it locks into place.
