How To Change The Battery In A Subaru Keyfob

If you own a Subaru vehicle with a keyfob, you may eventually need to change the battery in order to keep it functioning properly. While this may seem like a daunting task, it’s actually quite simple with the right tools and knowledge. In this blog post, we’ll go over the steps to change the battery in a Subaru keyfob.

Step 1: Purchase a replacement battery Before you begin, you’ll need to purchase a replacement battery for your Subaru keyfob. The type of battery you need will depend on the year and model of your vehicle, so be sure to check your owner’s manual or consult Walser Subaru to determine the correct battery size.

Step 2: Open the keyfob To begin the battery replacement process, you’ll need to open the keyfob. Depending on the model of your Subaru, the keyfob may have a slide-out key or a button to release the key.

Once you have the key out, look for a small notch on the side of the keyfob. Insert a flathead screwdriver or similar tool into the notch and gently pry the keyfob open.

Step 3: Remove the old battery Inside the keyfob, you’ll see the old battery. Gently pry the battery out using a small screwdriver or similar tool. Be careful not to damage the battery compartment or any of the other components inside the keyfob.

Step 4: Install the new battery Once you’ve removed the old battery, insert the new battery into the compartment. Be sure to match the polarity of the battery with the markings inside the keyfob.

Step 5: Close the keyfob After inserting the new battery, carefully align the two halves of the keyfob and snap them back together. Be sure to press firmly and make sure the keyfob is securely closed.

Step 6: Test the keyfob Once the keyfob is closed, test it to ensure that the new battery is working properly. Press any button on the keyfob and make sure the vehicle responds as expected.

That’s it! By following these simple steps, you can change the battery in your Subaru keyfob and keep it functioning properly. If you’re unsure about any of the steps, be sure to consult your owner’s manual or Walser Subaru for assistance.

Some additional tips and considerations:

• Be sure to dispose of the old battery properly. Many stores that sell batteries will also accept old batteries for recycling.
• If you’re having difficulty opening the keyfob, don’t force it. Consult your owner’s manual or a Subaru dealer for guidance.
• Keep a spare battery on hand. If your keyfob battery dies unexpectedly, having a spare on hand can save you a lot of hassle.
• If you’re still having issues with your keyfob after replacing the battery, there may be an internal issue. Contact Walser Subaru St. Paul for a keyfob replacement.
