How to Disassemble the Wuling Hongguang Remote Key?

[McRosalie]

To disassemble the Wuling Hongguang remote key: 1. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the surface screws of the remote; 2. Separate the front body and back cover of the key. The Wuling Hongguang is a microvan model under SAIC-GM-Wuling. Taking the 2020 Wuling Hongguang as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4390mm, width 1660mm, height 1750mm, with a wheelbase of 2720mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2020 Wuling Hongguang is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 56kW and a maximum torque of 110N·m, with the maximum torque rpm ranging from 3000 to 4000 per minute, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Disassembling the Wuling Hongguang key is actually quite simple. Usually, there's a small groove or clip on the back cover of the key. I gently pry open the seam with my fingernail or a thin flathead screwdriver, then slowly slide it around the edge to open it. For folding keys, be careful with the small spring at the pivot—last time I opened it, the spring almost flew off, and it took me half an hour to find it under the table. The key point is not to force open the plastic shell, as the plastic clips are very fragile. After opening the cover, remember to take a photo of the button battery's positive and negative terminals to avoid reversing them when reassembling. If the key is old, applying a few drops of lubricant at the seam makes prying much easier.

I've repaired hundreds of car keys, and the Wuling's folding key is the most difficult to disassemble. First, press the metal part of the key head with your thumb, then push the logo at the tail with your index finger, squeeze both sides towards the middle at the same time, and when you hear a click, slowly pry open along the plastic shell's parting line. The circuit board inside is fixed very firmly—never poke it directly with metal tools. Last time, a customer tried to disassemble it themselves and scraped off a corner of a capacitor, rendering the entire remote useless. Also, there might be screws under the label on the back of the key shell, which many people overlook and end up forcing it open.

Here's a handy life hack: Cut an old membership card into a triangular piece, insert it into the key seam, and twist to open. The Wuling key casing is mainly secured by plastic clips, located on the sides and top near the logo. The key is to go slow—when you hear three 'clicks,' it's usually fully open. After opening a flip key, check the spring condition; I've seen cases where the spring flew into the AC vent. Use a CR2032 battery, available at supermarkets for around five yuan.

Before disassembling the key, prepare a magnetic tray to catch the small parts! The spring in Wuling Hongguang's key is smaller than a grain of rice. First, use a hairdryer to heat the key joint for 1 minute to soften the plastic, then insert the back of a utility knife along the seam. Note that the folding key's pivot is double-sided locked, requiring a needle to simultaneously push both sides. Last time when repairing a neighbor's key, I discovered that the battery compartment structure differs between old and new models - those produced after 2020 have an additional rubber waterproof ring inside that's easily torn during disassembly.

Emergency Solution: If the key buttons stop working after being dropped, the battery is likely displaced. Wuling keys can be pried open with just a fingernail—the back cover's plastic usually has anti-slip grooves indicating the leverage point. When opening, avoid touching the circuit board directly as static electricity may damage the chip. Rub the battery contacts with an eraser to fix poor connectivity. If the housing clips break, don’t panic—apply some 502 glue to reseat them in the slots, restoring about 80% functionality. Remember not to leave the housing near radiators, as heat deformation will prevent it from sealing properly.
