This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the first generation (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 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.

The first step is to separate the key fob from the key ring and your other keys.

Then locate the small notch on the top right corner of the key fob close to the metal ignition key.

Insert the small flathead screwdriver in to the notch and gently pry apart the halves of the key fob.
