How to Replace the Key Battery for Ford Escort?
2 Answers
Steps to replace the Ford Escort key battery: Press the button on the remote key to release the key blade. Insert a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it open, then separate the parts to access and replace the battery. Below is an extended introduction to the Ford Escort: 1. In terms of passive safety features, the Escort offers a class-leading six-airbag protection system, including front airbags, side airbags, and side curtain airbags for both front and rear occupants, providing excellent collision protection. 2. The Escort's body structure incorporates a significant amount of high-strength steel, enhancing safety performance while reducing body weight, thereby improving fuel efficiency and economy.
I've owned this Ford Escort for three years and replaced the key battery twice. First, press the small button on the side of the key to pull out the mechanical key. Then insert a coin into the gap in the middle of the key casing and apply a bit of force to pry open the shell. See the coin cell battery? Remember to buy the CR2032 model, available at supermarkets and hardware stores. When removing the old battery, pay attention to the positive and negative pole orientation, and insert the new battery in the same direction to avoid reversing it. Finally, align the shell and press gently until it clicks into place. After replacement, test whether the lock button lights up—if it doesn't work, you might need to reopen and reassemble. The whole process takes about five minutes, saving you 200 yuan compared to going to the 4S shop. The key casing is quite fragile, so don't use too much force when prying it open.
