Last time my Citroën C4 key fob stopped working, and I managed to replace the battery successfully by myself. Just prepare a CR2032 button battery and a small flathead screwdriver. Look for a seam on the back of the key, gently pry open the upper part of the casing with the screwdriver until you hear a click. Be careful not to lose the rubber gasket inside—the battery sits on a black holder. Use a toothpick to remove the old battery, then insert the new one with the positive side (the side with text) facing down. When closing the casing, listen for a crisp click to ensure it's properly secured. Test the unlock button immediately after assembly to check the light response—the whole process takes about three minutes. Remember to keep a small magnet handy to prevent losing the screws.
