2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang key battery replacement method is: 1. Use a screwdriver to pry open the card slot area, lift the key shell, and open it along the pried gap; 2. Use a screwdriver to remove the fixing screws; 3. Open the battery cover, replace the battery, and reassemble it. Taking the 2020 Wuling Hongguang as an example, it belongs to the microvan category, with body dimensions of: length 4390mm, width 1660mm, height 1750mm, and a wheelbase of 2720mm. The 2020 Wuling Hongguang features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a leaf spring non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 76PS, maximum power of 56kW, maximum torque of 110Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I’ve changed the key battery of my Wuling Hongguang several times myself, and it’s quite a simple job. First, look for a small gap or button on the back or side of the key, then gently pry open the back cover using a small key, fingernail, or a thin screwdriver—don’t use too much force to avoid scratches. Once open, remove the old battery, which is usually a round CR2032 type. When inserting the new battery, align the positive and negative poles correctly; the side with the ‘+’ sign typically faces up. After placing it in, press the cover firmly until it clicks shut. Finally, test the lock and unlock functions to ensure responsiveness. I recommend using batteries from reputable brands—don’t go for cheap off-brand ones—they usually last over a year. If the signal weakens, replace it early to avoid embarrassing malfunctions. Doing it yourself costs just a few bucks and saves the hassle and expense of visiting a 4S shop. Give it a try—it’s not hard.
