What battery do I need for my Jeep key fob?

A replacement coin cell (A.K.A. "button" or "watch") battery is part number CR2032 from various manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, Energizer, Maxell and Duracell.

The only tool needed to replace the battery is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry apart the two halves of the key fob.

Slide the metal ignition key back in to the slot on the bottom of the fob until it clicks securely in to place.

Test the new key fob battery by standing near your Grand Cherokee while pressing the "Lock" and "Unlock" buttons.

If the new battery is working properly, you should see the parking lights flash, hear a short horn honk, and also hear the power door locks opening or closing.

What battery does a Grand Cherokee key fob take?

Press down lightly on the top of the screwdriver to force the two key fob segments apart at the seam. Make sure you don't use a twisting action – this could damage the plastic. Remove the old battery from its housing. Insert the new CR2032 battery, making sure the negative side is down.
