This automotive
maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the second
generation 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and probably also the face-lifted 2019,
2020, 2021 and 2022 model years of the Ford Edge SUV in changing a weak or
dead battery in the smart or "intelligent access" key fob remote control for
the keyless entry and push button start systems. Owners of other Ford and Lincoln vehicles such as the Escape, Expedition, EcoSport, Flex, Explorer, Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, Mustang, Taurus, Ranger, Transit Connect, F-150, Endura, C-Max, Kuga, Mondeo, MKZ, Navigator, Aviator, Nautilus and Continental may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The compatible replacement coin cell battery (also known as a "watch" or "button" battery) is part number CR2450. The tools needed to access, remove and replace the battery is a small plastic pry bar tool and a small flathead screwdriver. The first step is to push in the small black plastic rectangular shaped button at the bottom right of the fob to release the backup / emergency metal ignition key. |
