2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016) Jeep Patriot SUV in changing a dead battery
in the key fob remote control for the keyless entry system. Owners of other Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat and RAM vehicles such as the Compass, Renegade, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, 500, Town & Country, 200, 300, Pacifica, Challenger, Charger, Dart, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, RAM 1500, C/V Tradesman and ProMaster Van may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The replacement coin cell (A.K.A. button or "watch") battery part number is CR2032 which is available from various manufacturers such as Panasonic, GE, Duracell, Sony, Energizer and Maxell. The only tool needed to access and replace the key fob battery is a small flathead screwdriver. |
