I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang for about seven or eight years, and the remote key battery basically needs to be replaced every two years. The method is super simple: First, find a thin tool like a credit card or a small blade, gently pry open the key shell along the seam—don’t use excessive force to avoid cracking the plastic. Next, remove the battery, which is a CR2032 coin cell. Pay attention to its positive and negative terminals, and make sure to align it correctly with the slot markings to avoid reversing it. Then, insert the new battery, press it firmly to ensure good contact. Finally, snap the shell back together until you hear a click. After replacing the battery, test the remote range to ensure it works properly. It’s recommended to buy high-quality batteries to avoid frequent replacements. The whole process takes about five minutes, saving you a trip to the repair shop, and you’ll gain some DIY experience along the way.
Don't panic if your key fob fails. As a homemaker, I often help my husband replace it. First, find a quiet place to sit down. Flip the key over and you'll see a small gap. Use a coin or the edge of your fingernail to gently pry it open. Second, remove the old battery, usually a CR2032 model. Pay attention to the positive and negative sides to avoid incorrect orientation. Third, insert the new battery and press it flat. Finally, align the cover and press it firmly. The whole process is very simple, using tools readily available at home to save trouble. The battery can be purchased at a convenience store. After replacement, test whether the buttons respond. Safety first—avoid contact with water.
