This automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners of the 12th generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014) Ford F-150 truck in changing a weak or worn out coin cell battery in the key fob remote control.

Owners of other F-Series trucks or other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles such as the Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, Expedition, Explorer, Edge, Escape, E-150, E-250, E-350, Transit Connect, Flex, MKX, MKT, Navigator and Mountaineer may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A replacement key fob coin, "button" or "watch" battery is part number CR2032 from manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, GE, Energizer and Philips.

The only tool needed to change the battery is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool.

You can also use a coin, key or butter knife.

Pry Out Old Battery
The first step is to locate the notch in the bottom left corner of the combination car key and remote control fob closest to the red "Panic" button.

Insert the blade of the small flathead screwdriver in to the notch and gently pry off the back cover of the fob.

If necessary, remove the rubber cover from the front halve of the fob that creates the water resistant seal to protect the battery.

Gently pull out the old battery with your fingernail or the blade of the small flathead screwdriver.
