automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Dodge Dart in changing a
weak or dead battery in the key fob remote control for the keyless
entry system. Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge and RAM vehicles such as the Town & Country, 300, 200, Avenger, Charger, Journey, Challenger, Durango, Grand Caravan, and Ram C/V Tradesman minivan may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement coin cell (A.K.A. "button" or "watch") battery is part number CR2032 which is available from various manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, GE, Duracell, Energizer and Maxell. The only tool needed to disassemble the key fob and replace the battery is a small flathead screwdriver. |

If the new battery is working properly, you should see the parking lights flash and hear the door locks opening or closing. Be sure to record the battery change in your vehicle's service records.
