I would have been totally stuck without your video! The owner's manual isn't nearly detailed enough! This was one of the trickiest maintenance tasks ever! Thanks a million!
My deceased brother had a 2015 Ford Fusion. I have it now. I never knew what it was like to fly an Apollo Space Mission...until I had the Fusion! I've ALWAYS been a Ford man, but, man...this is new to me! Not needing a key to start the car! Just the fob! And, of course, the batteries were dead! This video has saved me a LOT of time! I opened the remote to find a mirror picture of what you have in this video!!! Please keep making these videos! They ARE LIFE SAVERS!!! I thank you so VERY much!!!
After watching a couple other videos, yours is the only one with actual detailed info for the stubbornest of key fobs that are determined not to come apart for new batteries! LOL Even the batteries + and - are detailed in yours, and one other told it wrong, to put the + side up on both. My 2017 Lincoln MKZ is now ready to roll. THX!
Just had to replace the batteries again in my car and had saved this video from the last time. Can't thank you again for such a clear, easy to follow video.
Thank you so much teacher,, ur video set me free from trouble right now,,, I just came back home with my boss,, and I was trying to handle over the key to him , The eventually felt from my hand,, and scattered,,, after hearing All insults,, to the glory of God,,, I was able to fix it after watching ur video I'm grateful
Thank you for you video. If I would have relied on the Ford Dealership to call me back my battery would have been dead. I ordered the batteries on Amazon and I have 2 operating fobs! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your tutorial😊 Thanks from Yuma Az😊👍🏻
Lifesaver!! Owners manual said to ‘slide and twist’🤷🏼♂️ to open the thing up. Was having no luck at all with that. You can add 2017 Mustang to list of cars this works for. Thanks much!!
Thank U so much camerateat guy I was stranded with my mom on the street , struggling to get this ford explorer key to work before the streetsweeper workers would come luckily I searched and watched this video and to watch closely to understand how to do fix my key being that it fell and opened
Thank you. This is how I figured it was done but I did not want to risk breaking anything. I was not aware that it required two batteries though. This was good to know.
First of all.... thank you! There's a 2013-2016 Ford Fusion key fob video out there that shows a different key fob than mine. I definitely have a 2016 model and my key fob is just like this one.
jeez us. thank you. took my fob apart to replace the battery and it just would not go back together. This video showed me the problem and the correct way to do it.
Yes thanks. BTW - I was able do use CR2016 batteries (same specs but thinner and not as long a life) since the contacts are springs and they worked just fine.
Great video... clear and full explanation. One hint: Try to keep your fingers off the batteries or wipe them if you get fingerprints on them. The oils and acids on your fingers can corrode the metal on the batteries.
Great video, This worked for my 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium key. The only video that pictured my key! Thank you very much, this video saved me a trip to the Ford dealer$hip & $$$! I got 5 Panasonic CR2025 batteries, shipped to me, in 5 days, cheaper then I could get 2 at my local store. I went this way because I got a "Key Battery Low" warning from my car & I have a second key fob! Thanks for the Coin trick, I couldn't figure out how to get down to the battery until I seen this!
I just did mine and found out you can use CR2032. I have plenty of those at my house because that is what we use for our remote controls and smart home devices. The battery life on the CR2025 is great. That will be extended with the 2032 because it has more miliamp hours.
this was fantastic!! No way i could figure out how to snap it back in place. thank you so much for making it clear, concise, even for an ol hag like myself it was a "snap" Hilary
@@xjmzrq haha, I never thought about it, just assumed it went in the door keyhole (was there one??), dont know, we already traded it! (Try Changing a Battery in one!!..)
Great video! I like the way you really explain and show what goes where. Sadly, still can't get our 2 halves back together (final step). Update: I took everything back apart, and where you explained the 2 loops, I was better sure that they snapped in on the 2 tabs. That was the pivotal thing!
May I ask where you ordered the fob shell from? Hoping somewhere other than dealership.... we all know that would be unreasonably expensive. Thanks so much!!
I couldn't remote start my 15 Fusion or open the doors. I had to use the door keypad code. The proximity sensor on the dash board told me the key fob battery was dead. I knew how to get the first half apart but wasnt too sure about inside half. Thanks bro.
Thanks, helped. I had to use a flathead screwdriver to push one side of the inner plastic part into the side of the outer housing. THEN, it all went fine.
Great video thank you! Couldn’t have done it without this review. This ford fob is prob the most pain in the ass complicated ones to change. Not to mention it takes two batteries per remote! SMH
2nd time I’ve watched this video. First time was 2 years ago, 2nd time today.. it helps if you take a que tip dipped in alcohol to clean all the gunk out too
Didn't know how much I needed this till my battery died and the guys at AutoZone couldn't figure out how to do it. Almost went to a locksmith before I decided to go on UA-cam.
It would be helpful if you mentioned the polarity placement of each battery as they are different, as well as mentioning that the white tab should go between the batteries. Can never have to much info.. :)
Thank you for a proper how to video, no bs and straight to the point. It would be great if everyone made how to videos like this!
I would have been totally stuck without your video! The owner's manual isn't nearly detailed enough! This was one of the trickiest maintenance tasks ever! Thanks a million!
This video should be used as a template for every how to video on UA-cam. Well done 👍. It made a 10-15 minute job into a 2 minute job. Thank you!

Trade that fusion in for a Mustang and thank me later. My 2017 mustang has remote start and with the V6 and premium gas, im getting 27 mpg highway.
Don’t know why anyone would give this a thumbs down. It was exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!
Thanks for the video! The batteries are replaced opposite each other with a plastic spacer between them.
You’re a lifesaver! Just saved us $300 during the Christmas season. Just a side note, key fobs don’t fare well in the garbage disposal!
Best video explanation. Ford couldn't explain well and the penny trick was awesome! Thank you.
Thank you. This worked great for my 2015 Ford Edge key. Only video I could find with this specific key. Well done.
After watching a couple other videos, yours is the only one with actual detailed info for the stubbornest of key fobs that are determined not to come apart for new batteries! LOL Even the
batteries + and - are detailed in yours, and one other told it wrong, to put the + side up on both.
My 2017 Lincoln MKZ is now ready to roll. THX!
Oh man, Ford needs to hire you. Thanks so much for an easy explanation on replacing the fob batteries. Awesome...... well done!

Thank you for taking the time and show thousands of us on how to change out the Ford key fob batteries. Your are appreciated.
Thank you for you video. If I would have relied on the Ford Dealership to call me back my battery would have been dead. I ordered the batteries on Amazon and I have 2 operating fobs! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your tutorial😊
Thanks from Yuma Az😊👍🏻
Just got the battery warning on the 2nd keyfob of my set of 2, so its time to replace the battery sets for both! Glad I found this video!
Lifesaver!! Owners manual said to ‘slide and twist’🤷🏼♂️ to open the thing up. Was having no luck at all with that. You can add 2017 Mustang to list of cars this works for. Thanks much!!
Thanks so much! .com kept falling apart and I couldn't see that it was the loops that fit over the posts were broken. Well done!
This really helped me replace the battery in my 2017 F-150 fob. Thank you for taking the time to make and post.

You're a life saver! Fiddled with it for like 30 minutes and gave up and got the spare out LOL. You rock Dude!
Thanks for this video. It simplified the job of replacing the key fob batteries on my wife's 2016 Ford Edge.
Many thanks for taking the time to post this video. Well done.
whoever designed this fob should be fired
💯
Yeah dude what the fuq. Batteries with a plastic divider??
First of all.... thank you! There's a 2013-2016 Ford Fusion key fob video out there that shows a different key fob than mine. I definitely have a 2016 model and my key fob is just like this one.
jeez us. thank you. took my fob apart to replace the battery and it just would not go back together. This video showed me the problem and the correct way to do it.
alright inserted the top battery other side. Was wondering why it wasn't working until i saw this video. thanksS!
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing. We need more people like you to easily explain tricky things!
Thank you for teaching me how to change my CR2025 battery!
Yes thanks. BTW - I was able do use CR2016 batteries (same specs but thinner and not as long a life) since the contacts are springs and they worked just fine.

Have a 2016 Ford Edge, first time replacing batteries, very helpful video 👍👍
Works perfectly for 2016 Ford Explorer too. And probably others as well. THANK YOU SIR!
Dude my key fob broke apart and this video helped me put it back together, thanks!
I will say, this key fob has to be one of the most stupidest designs in history. But you sir are a lifesaver and saved me from breaking my 5th one.
Dude, your video was terrific! I was a bit hesitant to just pull my remote apart and risk busting something. Thanks for demystifying the process.
Thanks for the help. Changed both my keys just now.Was very easy.
Excellent, thanks for providing this. The item is expensive so I am glad you showed how, didn't want to spit-ball it; much appreciated.
Yes, and I never knew there was a hidden Mechanical key! Thanks
Ha! Now try and find out where it goes without researching it first.
@@xjmzrq haha, I never thought about it, just assumed it went in the door keyhole (was there one??), dont know, we already traded it! (Try Changing a Battery in one!!..)

THANK YOU THANK YOU, had 2 fobs broken by auto parts stores that had no idea what they were doing. should of did it on my own!
Thanks i ordered a key fob shell for my 2016 Mustang and this helped me swap out the guts
May I ask where you ordered the fob shell from? Hoping somewhere other than dealership.... we all know that would be unreasonably expensive. Thanks so much!!
Thank man! It worked perfectly with my 2015 ford edge. Clear and concise.
Very helpful! Especially when ford dealer suggested me spend 300dollar to get a new key
My car would not move this video helped me thank you so much
Thank you for the most concise and clear video!!
Thanks to you i don't worry about and wait in the dealer shop. Great, thank you again
I couldn't remote start my 15 Fusion or open the doors. I had to use the door keypad code. The proximity sensor on the dash board told me the key fob battery was dead. I knew how to get the first half apart but wasnt too sure about inside half. Thanks bro.
Thanks, it worked and followed the steps. It wasn’t difficult what so ever.
Thanks, helped. I had to use a flathead screwdriver to push one side of the inner plastic part into the side of the outer housing. THEN, it all went fine.
Good job. Enough information to do the job without any extra b.s.
You just saved our road trip thank you

I’m honestly gonna fight whoever designed this fob 😤

@@tomedgar4375 Mine fell apart in less than a year brand new. Currently held together by duct tape
Thanks, that worked. I have a 2016 Explorer XLT and it did not come with mechanical key.
You made this so easy to understand. Many thanks.
