How to Replace the Battery in a Golf Car Key?
2 Answers
Here is the method to replace the battery in a Golf car key: 1. Take out the Golf car key. There is a gap on the side of the key near the keyring. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the gap after unfolding the key. 2. Flip the Volkswagen logo upward and forcefully pull the key upward to open the key cover. Inside, you will see a battery. 3. Use the screwdriver to pry out the battery, being careful with the force. Insert the new battery into the car remote key in the reverse order of removal. Pay attention to the positive and negative poles, and do not install the battery backward. Press the key's back cover back into place.
Replacing the battery in a Golf car key is actually quite simple. I did it myself last time and found it quite cost-effective. The key usually has a plastic shell design. You can use your fingernail or a small screwdriver to pry open the clips on both sides of the key to reveal the small battery inside. The Golf typically uses a CR2032 coin cell battery, so make sure not to buy the wrong model, or it won't work even if installed. Be gentle when removing it to avoid breaking the plastic clips. After taking out the battery, check the positive and negative terminals, usually marked with + and - signs. Insert the new battery in the same orientation. Once reassembled, press the shell lightly to secure it, then test the key buttons to see if they unlock or start the car. The replacement frequency is generally every 1-2 years. If the key drains the battery quickly, there might be a water leak or circuit issue, so regular checks and keeping it dry are recommended. DIY battery replacement costs just a few tens of yuan, much cheaper than going to a 4S shop. The tools needed aren't complicated—just a screwdriver will do.
