Unlock the secret: your hyundai kona key battery replacement guide in 5 easy steps

Are you facing a frustrating situation where your Hyundai Kona key fob is unresponsive? The culprit could be a depleted battery. Don’t worry; replacing the battery is a straightforward task that you can easily handle yourself. In this comprehensive guide, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to change the Hyundai Kona key battery.

Materials You’ll Need

Before you begin, gather the following materials:

• New CR2032 battery
• Small flathead screwdriver or coin
• Clean cloth

Step 1: Locate the Key Release Button

On the back of your Hyundai Kona key fob, you will find a small button. This release button allows you to separate the key blade from the rest of the fob. Use the flathead screwdriver or coin to gently press the button and slide the key blade out.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

With the key blade removed, you can now open the key fob. Hold the fob firmly in your hand and insert the flathead screwdriver or coin into the small notch on the side. Gently pry the two halves of the fob apart.

Step 3: Remove the Old Battery

Once you have opened the key fob, you will see the battery inside. Use your fingernail or a small tool to gently pry the old battery out of its housing. Be careful not to damage the battery or the surrounding components.

Step 4: Insert the New Battery

Take the new CR2032 battery and align it with the positive (+) side facing up. Carefully slide the new battery into the housing. Make sure it fits snugly and is properly seated.

Step 5: Close the Key Fob

With the new battery in place, carefully align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they snap shut. Ensure that the fob is securely closed.

Step 6: Reinsert the Key Blade

Slide the key blade back into the slot on the key fob until it clicks into place.

Step 7: Test the Key Fob

Press the buttons on the key fob to check if it is working properly. If the buttons respond and the fob unlocks/locks your car, you have successfully changed the battery.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If the key fob still doesn’t work after replacing the battery, check for any corrosion or damage to the battery contacts. Clean the contacts with a clean cloth.
