Is your Mazda 2015 key fob acting up? Does it take multiple button pushes to unlock your car? This could mean the battery in your key fob is dying and needs to be replaced. Luckily, replacing the coin battery in your Mazda 2015 key fob is a quick and easy process you can do at home with minimal tools. This guide will walk you through each step, from identifying the type of battery you need to successfully installing the new one.
What You’ll Need:
- A small flat-head screwdriver
- A new CR2025 battery (this is the most common type for Mazda key fobs, but check your owner’s manual to be sure).
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Locate the small release button on the back of your key fob. This is usually a small, indented button.
- Press the release button and gently separate the key fob’s two halves. The key fob should easily come apart, revealing the battery compartment.
- Carefully remove the old battery from the compartment. Pay attention to which side is facing up, as the new battery will need to be installed in the same orientation.
- Insert the new CR2025 battery into the compartment, ensuring the positive (+) side is facing up.
- Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they click back into place.

After replacing the battery, test all the buttons on your key fob to ensure it’s working properly. If the buttons are still unresponsive or working intermittently, there could be other issues with your key fob, and it’s best to consult a qualified automotive locksmith or your dealership for further diagnosis and repair.
