This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the 1st generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014)
Dodge Journey SUV in changing the battery in the "Keyless
Enter-N-Go" smart key fob
remote control. Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge and RAM vehicles with similar key fobs such as the Town & Country, 300, 200, Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Dart, Durango, Grand Caravan, Ram C/V Tradesman and 1500 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, GE, Energizer and Maxell. The only tool needed to change the old battery is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry apart the two halves of the fob. |

The first step is
to turn over the smart key fob and locate the grey metal sliding tab. Push the tab over to the other side to release the metal ignition key and pull the key out of the fob. Then insert the blade of the small flathead screwdriver in between the two halves of the fob and gently pry them apart. |
