1:44 of being a hero. Straightforward and no bullshiet. Thank you.

I didn’t even know there was a key inside that thing ! Top video. Straightforward instructions. No horrible techno music😂. 10/10. Thank you.

Thank you for a clear and direct "how to". Bonus points awarded for not having loud, obnoxious intro music.

Really wish I'd seen this before making mine look like a Jackson Pollock painting

I'm 68 and needed battery change. Last time shop cost £7 to fit and battery extra. Just watched Yr video, and did it myself in couple minutes. Thank you 👍

I searched for awhile to try to figure out how to do this and this video was the only thing that actually made sense. THANK YOU.

I can't thumb up twice, but I came back to your video more than once and it has always been helpful. Thanks 👍😁

I have watched this video before, and it made opening and changing the battery simple. Funny enough, today I tried it again, on my spare key, but it wouldn't open until I watched this video over again. It's actually the little twist that is being done, before you get access to the battery that makes this a very good an informative video. The terror of using too much force, just simply vanishes because it's so simple. Thanks once again!

It’s people like you that make KZfaq !Thank you so very helpful !

Unlike many videos, this one shows the correct way to do it. Thank you.

Just helped an old folk at work changing his car key battery with the aid of this video. He doesnt know what KZfaq is and refers everything as Google. He praised Google for saving the day!

Lifesaver! This definitely beat attempting to make sense of the manual and/or contacting a mechanic

Thank you for this. My husband kept taking my keys to change the battery because he thought I wasn’t able to do it. He doesn’t need to know that I really didn’t know what I was doing until I saw this video 😂

If I’d known it was that be easy I would’ve changed it 6 months ago when the car started beeping at me telling me to change the battery... So for 6 months I’ve had the car beeping at me ‘change the battery’, every trip BEEP!! At first it was just annoying and over time it became the norm. BEEEEEEP!!! The only reason I looked into changing it was the key battery finally gave up the ghost and I had to open the door with the little key. Imagine needing to open a car with a key 😳 I thought ‘not having that!’ Gonna miss my daily beep from the car.... NOT! Great video. Thank you. 🙏🏼

Asked my other half to do it and he couldn’t ‘take it to Fords don’t you do it you’ll break it’ One video later Ive done it and the old man is in silence . Thank you

No background music just perfect instructions many thanks

Just changed the battery in my two keys (main and spare). Very easy after following this video. Thank you very much.

The wife didn’t want me going near the fob in case I broke it , so she took it to Timpsons ,got charged a tenner(excluding battery) That was on our Ford Mondeo a few years ago , changed car and low battery sign starts coming up, not getting stung again , watched your tutorial and sorted it as I went, superb thanks for this

Thanks for a straight forward and short video, its still going strong for my 71 reg Focus

Just bought a mk3 focus, its a titanium x with keyless start. Anyway, i didn't know there was a key inside the fob until i watched this video lol. Also, i'm happy the battery is replaceable without destroying the fob 👍

I still have my 2015 ST and I keep coming back to this excellent video when it comes time to change my key fob battery. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks for this video. For anyone wondering, it is possible to use a CR2025, instead of video's recommended CR2032. As that's what I found already installed when I went to replace my key fob battery. However the CR2032 is 0.7mm taller and so has ~240mAh of power vs CR2025's ~165mAh. So a CR2032 may last around 1/3rd longer and the thinner CR2025 *might* get slightly worse contact if your fob contacts don't stretch the extra 0.7mm

I forgot how to open the key fob and I almost scuffed it trying so I decided to KZfaq it and there you were. Thank you so much

Thank you for this video. I was surprised to see how easy it was as I wasn’t confident in changing the batteries in both my keys. Took next to no time. Really straight forward . Thank you again. 🤗

You sir are a hero and scholar...followed the instructions and replaced batteries for 2 keys.

Each couple of years I come back to this video to see how to change the key of my fiesta Titanium. As always. Thanks very much my man

Thanks mate! Finnish guy is happy for this video Ford focus 2019 ecoboost nice car

Would never had guessed 1st part was fine with the ford emblem opening up and the key inside as shown but the 2nd part how to get to the actual battery until you showed us Simple 2min job 👍👍👍

A no nonsense guide to changing a battery. Straight to the point and a job made easy.

Top man, still helping folks all these years later!

This really is a perfect KZfaq how to video. Straight to the point and really clear. I've just replaced the battery in my Focus keyfob. Really straightforward after watching this. Thanks for posting it!

This is the best video for the task. I watch it every time I have to change the battery!

MUCH CLEARER THAN OTHER DESCRIPTIONS, THANK YOU

Thanks for showing us how to change battery made it easy to change

mate, you are amazing. i would have never figured to twist the screwdriver... thanks a million

Literally the best of these key fob videos. I followed along finished like seconds after you did. Thank you

Perfect, clear instructions, worked a treat. Thanks! And discovered there was no metal key in one of the units.

Thank you, short and sweet. Just the facts, well delivered and easy to understand by someone that hasn't done this task previously. Much appreciated indeed.

Top geezer, thanks for taking the trouble to post this, very helpful.

I always come back to this. I never remember how to do it!

Im 24 it was my first time replacing the battery from my 2021 ford fiesta many thanks for the video

Thank God! Direct to the point, good visuals with straightforward instructions.. no time wastes. Nice one!

Thinks for the quick easy no nonsense video. A kak handed dude here appreciated that! And saved a £50 visit to the garage lol

Best vid 👍 ever followed to the letter changed battery in 2mins. 1min was getting the new battery out the packaging.

Changed the battery in less time than it took me to watch the vid. Thanks

Thanks! I've done the way you described by prying apart the sides and it does leave the fob all scratched up. Your method is actually easier and cleaner. I do this maybe once a year, so I tend to forget how I did it last time. It's a blessing to have resources like yours. Cheers!

Managed to change mine in seconds after watching this. Thanks.

Thank you, it was so simple and didn't ruin my key fob. It was also handy that you put the correct battery type in there as well ☺️

Thanks! So simple and fast way of spending it with the PERFECT amount of detail

Thanks! Have come back to this video twice now. Super easy to follow.

Just bought a kuga with a replace battery alert, this vid made it so easy.

Bloody genius video, mine just went today and I was sure I'd need to enter The Matrix to find the battery!

Just tore my fingers to bits trying to get into my FiST one, wish i'd watched this first!

Hello again. See, today I did it all by myself. Thanks again ❤

I keep coming back to this, thank you for posting!

Thanks, just replaced batteries on both of my keys quickly and easily!

Appreciate your video! Finally replaced my batteries after 5 strong years of use and this was just what I needed!

Excellent - Perfect - Very straightforward and clear - Thanks

Thank you, simple, clear, straight to the point. 10/10 video!

Thanks for posting, I've used this video a few times now.

My dealership charged me £8.60 to change the battery. I'm just going to do it myself next time. Thanks for the video.

Good to know. Some guy told me you might have to reprogram the key so good to know that was LOB.

Thanks so much for this very straight forward video. I was charged £12 by Timpson to replace the battery in my last key fob! Not any more after seeing this.

Thanks so much. No baiting and over explaining, simple and straightforward

Was just about to start prising screw driver around sides then I watched this - worked a treat! Quick and useful video! Cheers

Thank you very much. It was so easy to follow your instructions. Changed the battery 3 years ago, also your video, but then I forgot how, so nice to see it again. 🌹

This is the best instructional video on the internet.

i've done this job a few times, but there's always been a long enough gap between times that i forget how it works and have to look it up again. this is the best video i've seen on it, nice and clear as others have said

I really like the use of washes here. I feel like you're able to really express the essence of the keyfob.

Good explanation as the Ford instructions don't mention pushing the driver in as far as poss and as a result I slightly damaged my shell as I turned it. Thankyou.

This is so much clearer than the instructions in the manual, thank you!

Brilliant...thank you. Fitted a new battery in seconds...whereas I couldn't get the key fob open before watching your video.

I saw one of these videos once and they didn’t even need any screwdriver to do the job when they got inside they used the end of the key to do the twisting mechanism part of it Thanks for the video

As said in many comments. Top top informative no bull video. Thank you.

Thank you! Super and straightfoward helpful info

This method works absolutely perfectly. Just get the right width flathead screwdriver

Thank you so much for this video. Having to replace car key battery is another little stressful thing but your instructions are so straightforward and helpful. My key is working perfectly now and no damage 😊

No need to watch another video . Clear and simple tutorial , like it 👍

Best video tutorial to open key fob

There is a spare key in there...who knew? Thanks so much for this straight forward tutorial!

Perfect simple to follow instructions, job done on my key fob in no time. Thanks.

Really didn't want to take my car in the shop for a simple fix, and this seemed to do the trick! 10/10

Brilliant video, straight to the point.

Thanks! That was so much easier than I expected.

Exactly what I was looking for! So helpful, THANKS!!

I always enjoy to see nice explanations like this one! Thanks

Thanks for posting. Just changed the battery in the spare key of my wife’s Escape. Easy as pie.

Thanks, can remember SEAT charging £20 for the privilege many years ago !!

Thank you for a great and informative video. This is really not hard at all - when you know what to do. I think a lot of people are scared for ruining the programming or something. I remember taking the key fob to the 2011 Mondeo I used to own to my local Ford dealer. They didn't know how to do this and they didn't care to help me with it either. I was just shocked when I learned how easy it is.

Thank you so much for posting this! It was very helpful! Changed my key battery after having the warning sign come up for weeks. Phew

Informative video, thank you. I would add that new or discarded 2032 batteries must be kept away from children (severe burns possible if swallowed) and to wipe off your fingermarks with a soft dry cloth before installation. When working in retail, I was advised to avoid handling button cells with fingers where possible - ie, hold them inside a cloth.

Thank you very much indeed, excellent, straight forward, short and clear. Extremely helpful.

Thank you for providing this valuable service. 👍

Thanks, very clear and the battery required, many thanks

Thank you - I have to refer to this video every time I have to change the battery in mine!

Thank you so much - was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be!!

Short and to the point, perfect tutorial!

I followed this tutorial 3 times over the years and yeah it works,, thanks for this! But now my key fob plastic where you stick the screwdriver is mangled. Mine didn't pop open so easily. I found a secondary method - those two tabs where you squeeze to remove the cover, squeeze those tabs again and it'll make enough space to stick a flat head, gently twist to separate the pieces.

Straight to the point, no bullshit. Thanks mate!

Much better than the other ' wedge it open at the side with a screwdriver' video I watched, this works better thanks 👍
