Old Battery Revealed
This automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners of the second generation 1998-2011 Ford Crown Victoria in replacing the key fob remote control's coin cell battery.

Owner's of other Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicles such as the Grand Marquis, Marauder, Town Car, Edge, Flex, Focus, Taurus, Fusion, Mustang, Fiesta, Five Hundred, Escape, Explorer, Probe, Expedition, Thunderbird, Escort, F-150, F-250 and F-350 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A new "coin", "button", or "watch" cell batter for the Ford Crown Victoria key fob is part # CR2032 available from various manufacturers such as Panasonic, GE, Sony and Duracell.

The only tool needed to access the key fob's battery is a small flathead screwdriver. A butter knife, coin, nail file or similar object may also get the job done.

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

Then insert the blade of the small flathead screwdriver into the notch at the plastic key ring hole of the fob.

Gently pry apart the two halves of the key fob and turn over the back cover to reveal the old coin cell battery.

Test New Key Fob Battery
Line up the two halves of the key fob and gently snap them together. Make sure that the two halves of the fob are flush together all the way around and none of the rubber seal is visible.

To test the new key fob battery, stand next to your Crown Victoria and press the "Unlock" and "Lock" buttons. The parking lights should flash if the new battery is working properly.
