Step-by-Step Guide to Changing the Battery in Your Chrysler Town and Country Key Fob

Locate the release slot: On the side of your key fob, you’ll find a small slot. This is the key release slot.
Insert the flat-head screwdriver: Carefully insert the flat-head screwdriver or key fob tool into the release slot. Gently apply pressure to release the key from the fob.
Separate the key fob halves: Once the key is released, use the screwdriver or pry tool to carefully separate the two halves of the key fob casing. Start at the seam where the key was released and work your way around. Be gentle to avoid damaging the plastic.
Remove the old battery: Identify the CR2032 battery. It’s usually held in place by a small clip or pressure. Gently pry the old battery out using your screwdriver or pry tool.
Install the new battery: Insert the new CR2032 battery, ensuring the positive (+) side faces up, just like the old battery. Press it firmly into place until it clicks or is securely held.
Reassemble the key fob: Carefully align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them together firmly until they snap shut.
Test the key fob: Try locking and unlocking your Chrysler Town and Country using the key fob. If it works, you’ve successfully replaced the battery!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, you might encounter a few hiccups. Here are some solutions:

Key fob still not working? Double-check the battery orientation. Ensure it’s correctly positioned with the positive (+) side facing up. Try a different new battery, just in case the one you installed is faulty. Similar to changing the battery in a Chrysler 300 key fob, ensure the connections inside the key fob are clean.
Key fob casing difficult to separate? If the casing is stuck, try using a slightly larger flat-head screwdriver or a stronger pry tool. Be careful not to apply excessive force which could damage the plastic. You may also want to check online for specific instructions or videos related to your key fob model year.
