This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the sixth generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014,
2015 and possibly also the 2016 model year) Ford Fiesta sedan or
hatchback in changing the battery in the key fob remote control. Owners of other Ford or Lincoln vehicles such as the Focus, Fusion, C-Max, Mustang, Escape, Transit Connect, Edge, Flex, Explorer, Expedition, Taurus, F-150, EcoSport, MKC, MKZ, MKS, MKX, MKT and the Navigator 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, GE, Sony, Duracell, Energizer and Maxell. The only tool needed to replace the battery is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool used to pry apart the key fob housing. |
