Now that you’ve gained access to your Nissan, you’ll want to drive to your nearest Rexburg auto store or home improvement store for a Nissan key fob battery change. The CR2025 batteries that are used in your Nissan key fob are relatively cheap and easy to install. Once you’ve got a new Nissan key fob battery, follow the instructions below:

Remove the hidden key you used to get into your Nissan.

Insert the key into the slot at the bottom of your Nissan key fob and turn it gently to open the key fob housing.

Take out the old battery after taking note of the position.

Replace the CR2025 battery with your new one, making sure the negative side of the battery is facing up toward you and that the battery is making contact with the metal parts inside the key fob.

Put the key fob back together and test it to ensure it’s working properly.
