A dead car key battery can leave you unable to unlock your car remotely or start it if you have a push-button ignition. Fortunately, this is a common issue with simple solutions.
Here’s what to do if your car key battery dies in Dubai.
Signs Your Car Key Battery is Dying
-
Reduced range when unlocking your car remotely
-
Needing to press the button multiple times before it works
-
Key fob stops working completely
Quick Fixes You Can Try
1. Use the Physical Key
Most car key fobs have a hidden mechanical key inside. Check for a small release button or latch to pull it out. You can use this to unlock your car manually.
2. Start the Car Manually (Push-Start Vehicles)
Many modern cars allow you to start the vehicle even with a dead key fob battery by holding the fob near the start button or specific area in the dashboard (check your car’s manual).
3. Replace the Battery
Car key fobs typically use small coin-cell batteries (such as CR2032 or CR2025). You can:
-
Open the key fob with a small screwdriver or coin
-
Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one
-
Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity
When to Call a Locksmith
If you’re unable to replace the battery yourself or your fob still doesn’t work after replacement, a professional locksmith can:
-
Replace the battery and test the key
-
Reprogram the key if necessary
-
Provide a spare key or fob for backup
