I have a Jeep Cherokee remote key, and the battery is dead. It's quite convenient to replace it with a new one myself. The key is to find the gap on the key first. Most Jeep keys have a small seam. Use a small screwdriver to gently pry it open along the seam, but don't use too much force to avoid damaging the plastic shell. After prying it open, you'll see a button battery inside, usually a CR2032 model, which can be bought at supermarkets or auto parts stores for just a few dollars. When removing the old battery, pay attention to the positive and negative sides to avoid installing the new battery backward. After installation, press the shell tightly and test the remote function by pressing the unlock button to see if the car responds. If it doesn't work, the battery might not be installed properly or there could be an issue with the battery. I replace it every one or two years. Usually, when parking, pay attention to signs of battery depletion, such as a shorter remote range, so you can replace it in time, saving on repair costs and ensuring safe travel.
