2 Answers
The method to open the Buick Excelle key fob: There is a small black button on the remote key. First, press it to extend the mechanical part of the remote key, then pry open the gap of the original mechanical part. If you need to replace the battery, the battery model is CR2032. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan launched by Buick. The body dimensions of the Buick Excelle are 4587mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1463mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. In terms of power, the Buick Excelle is equipped with two drivetrain combinations: a 1.3T dual-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed DSS intelligent dual-clutch transmission, and a 1.0T dual-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed DCG intelligent dual-clutch transmission.
Last time I opened my Buick Excelle car key to replace the battery myself, I was a bit nervous but succeeded. The key shell has a plastic snap-fit structure, so don't use brute force to pry it open as it can easily get damaged. I used a small flat-head screwdriver or plastic card to gently pry along the side gap of the key; the gap is usually in the middle or at the bottom. Do it slowly and patiently to avoid damaging the internal circuit board. Inside, there's just a CR2032 button battery—make sure you remember the type to avoid buying the wrong one. Before replacing the battery, ensure the key isn't working due to a dead battery to avoid unnecessary effort. After replacing, align the snaps and press them back firmly, then test the functions. It's recommended to do this in a quiet place to avoid losing small parts—this task is simple but carelessness can lead to problems. Fellow car owners often say the battery usually needs replacement every one or two years, and choosing a reputable brand is safer. After doing it once, it becomes much easier the next time—saving money and hassle.
