Replacing the battery in the key fob of your Dodge Challenger is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:

Locate the Key Fob: Find your Dodge Challenger key fob. It’s the small device you use to lock/unlock your car remotely and sometimes start the engine.
Identify the Battery Compartment: Look for a small slot or button on the key fob that allows you to access the battery compartment. This may be on the back or side of the key fob, depending on the model.
Open the Battery Compartment: Use your fingernail or a small flathead screwdriver to open the battery compartment. Apply gentle pressure to release the cover and expose the battery inside.
Remove the Old Battery: Carefully remove the old battery from the compartment. You may need to use a small tool or your fingernail to pop the battery out of its housing.
Note the Battery Type: Before discarding the old battery, take note of its type (e.g., CR2032). You’ll need this information to purchase the correct replacement battery.
Insert the New Battery: Take the new battery (of the same type) and insert it into the battery compartment, ensuring that it’s properly seated and oriented correctly according to the markings inside the compartment.
Close the Battery Compartment: Once the new battery is in place, carefully close the battery compartment cover, making sure it snaps securely into position.
Test the Key Fob: Test the key fob to ensure that the new battery is working properly. Press the buttons on the key fob to lock/unlock the doors or perform any other functions. If the key fob responds as expected, the battery replacement was successful.
Dispose of the Old Battery: Dispose of the old battery properly according to local regulations or recycling guidelines. Many stores that sell batteries also offer recycling services.
By following these steps, you can easily replace the battery in the key fob of your Dodge Challenger, ensuring that it continues to function reliably. If you encounter any difficulties or have concerns about the process, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or seek assistance from a professional.
