How to Open a Mazda Key to Replace the Battery?
2 Answers
Mazda remote key battery replacement method is as follows: First, open the key head. Inside the key slot, there is a black square. Find a suitable tool, press firmly against that point, and while pressing, pull apart the upper part of the key to separate it. Once successfully separated, remove the old battery and install the new one to complete the process. Extension: Mazda is a Japanese automobile manufacturer headquartered in Hiroshima, Japan. Its logo features a seagull spreading its wings within an ellipse, also forming the shape of an "M". The "M" stands for the first capital letter of "MAZDA", symbolizing the company's ambition to soar high. Main models include: Mazda3, Mazda5, Mazda6, etc.
I previously replaced the battery in my Mazda key fob, so let me briefly explain the process. First, take out the key and look at the back—there's usually a small seam or button. Once located, gently pry it open using a coin or a small flathead screwdriver. Inside, you'll find a round CR2025 coin cell battery. Remember to insert the new battery with the positive side facing up to avoid reversing it. When closing the key fob, align the clips properly until you hear a click. After replacing the battery, test the unlock button to ensure it works. I recommend checking the key fob casing for any signs of wear each time you replace the battery to prevent difficulty opening it next time. By the way, CR2025 batteries are widely available in supermarkets for just a dollar each, saving you unnecessary expenses at the dealership.
