1 Answers
Here are the detailed steps for replacing the battery in a Ford EcoSport key fob: 1. Before replacing the battery, you need to open the key fob. There is a gap near the mechanical key slot where you can use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the key fob along the seam. 2. Once opened, you will see the internal circuit board and battery. The Ford EcoSport uses a CR1632 battery. Be cautious not to touch the circuit board while opening the key fob, and make sure to replace it with a battery of the same model. 3. If the circuit board is accidentally touched during the battery replacement process, it may cause a short circuit. Also, ensure that the electrode contacts are free of dirt when replacing the battery. 4. Key fob batteries come in various models, including CR2302, CR2450, CR1616, CR2025, and CR1620. The battery model can be seen once the key fob is opened. 5. After replacing the battery, test all functions of the key fob to ensure they are working properly.
