This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the 6th generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014) Ford
Taurus sedan in changing the battery in the keyless entry system's
key fob remote control. Owners of other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with similar key fobs such as the Fiesta, Fusion, Focus, C-Max, Mustang, Escape, Transit Connect, Explorer, Edge, Expedition, Flex, MKS, MKZ, MKT, MKX, Navigator, Milan, Grand Marquis, Mariner and Mountaineer may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement "coin" cell (A.K.A. "button" or "watch") battery is part number CR2032 from manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, Maxell, Energizer and Philips. The only tool needed to replace the battery is a flathead screwdriver or a small plastic pry bar tool. You can also use a coin, key or butter knife. |

The first step is
to locate the notch on the bottom left corner of the combination car key and
fob remote control close to the red "Panic" button. Insert the blade of the flathead screwdriver in to the notch and gently pry off the back cover of the key fob. If the rubber cover is still attached to the front half of the fob, pull it off and set it aside. |

Make sure that the two halves of the fob are flush together with no part of the rubber gasket showing.
