Is your 2013 Chrysler Town & Country key fob not working as reliably as it used to? A common culprit is a low battery. Replacing the key fob battery is a simple task you can often do yourself, saving time and money compared to dealership service. This guide will walk you through how to change the battery in your 2013 Chrysler Town & Country key fob, ensuring you can get back to accessing your vehicle with ease.
The key fob for the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country is designed for user-friendly battery replacement. Typically, these fobs use a CR2032 type battery, which is widely available at most drugstores, grocery stores, and online retailers. Before you begin, it’s a good idea to have a small flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to help open the fob casing.
To replace the battery, start by locating the small notch or seam on the side of your key fob. Gently insert the flathead screwdriver into this opening and twist or pry carefully to split the fob casing. Once open, you’ll see the battery compartment. Take note of the battery’s orientation (+ side up) before removing the old battery. Install the new CR2032 battery, ensuring the positive (+) side is facing upwards, matching the original orientation.
After inserting the new battery, carefully snap the key fob casing back together until it’s securely closed. Test the key fob buttons to ensure they are now working correctly. If your key fob still isn’t functioning after a battery replacement, there might be another issue, such as the need for reprogramming, especially if you’ve tried multiple batteries. In such cases, consulting a locksmith or dealership for key fob programming or further diagnostics might be necessary. Remember to be cautious when purchasing replacement fobs online, as some may be pre-programmed and unusable for your vehicle.
In most cases, however, a simple battery replacement will restore your 2013 Chrysler Town & Country key fob to full working order, providing you with convenient access to your vehicle once again.
