Today, I unexpectedly found myself needing to replace the battery in my F-150 key fob as it was dying and causing trouble starting my truck. In this post, I’ll guide you through the simple process of replacing the battery in your F-150 key fob, so you can avoid similar inconveniences in the future.
If you have a 2017 F-150, you’ll need two CR2025 batteries for your key fob. You can easily find these at your local grocery store or electronics shop for a few dollars.
To start the replacement process, use your fingernail to open the key fob, revealing the hidden emergency key. Then, remove the key and use it to separate the key fob’s components. You’ll find the old batteries facing each other, and you can easily pop them out with your fingernail.
Carefully remove the old batteries and replace them with the new ones, making sure to position them with the positive sides together and a small piece of paper in between. Once the new batteries are in place, reassemble the key fob, and you’re good to go!
Now, with the batteries replaced, you shouldn’t encounter any more starting issues with your F-150. It’s a quick and inexpensive fix that can save you from the hassle of being stranded without being able to start your truck.
