How to Disassemble the Buick Excelle Car Key?
2 Answers
Disassembly method for the Excelle car key: There is a small black button on the remote key. Press it to unfold the mechanical part of the remote key, then pry open the gap in the original mechanical part. If you need to replace the battery, the battery model is CR2032. Below is some related information about the Excelle: 1. Exterior: The new Excelle adheres to Buick's "dynamic and fluid" design language, drawing inspiration from the classic elements of the Riviera concept car. It features a new winged chrome grille, winged LED automatic sensing headlights, winged LED taillights, dual-peak body character lines, a large-view exterior rearview mirror, and 16-inch dual five-spoke luxury two-tone aluminum alloy wheels. 2. Interior: The new Excelle's cabin continues Buick's 360-degree wraparound integrated design, complemented by high-touch interior materials and Quiet-Tuning, Buick's patented noise reduction technology. It comes with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, ice-blue sporty instrument panel, fully automatic air conditioning system, one-key start function, rear air conditioning vents, and a flexible 400L trunk.
I've disassembled my Buick Excelle key fob a few times before, and it's been quite straightforward. Most of these remote key fobs don't have screws holding them together; they rely entirely on plastic clips to secure the housing. When you're taking it apart, use a plastic pry tool or a stiff card to gently insert into the seam on the side of the key, pry open a small gap, then slowly work your way around the edge to separate the two halves of the shell. Once opened, you'll see the interior, mainly the circuit board and the battery compartment. The Buick Excelle typically uses a CR2032 coin cell battery. Carefully remove the old battery without touching the circuit, replace it with a new one ensuring the positive side is facing up—don't get the orientation wrong. Finally, align the clips and press the shell halves together firmly until you hear a click, indicating it's securely fastened. Throughout the process, avoid using metal tools to prevent scratching or damaging internal components. After reassembly, test the unlock button to ensure it's functioning properly. If the key fob malfunctioned due to a dead battery, replacing it for just a few bucks can solve the issue—no need to waste money at a repair shop. Regular checks can extend the battery's lifespan.
