How to change the Nissan Sentra fob battery

  1. Slide out the mechanical key if the fob has one, and look for a slot or notch along the seam.
  2. Twist a coin or a small flat screwdriver in the slot to split the case. Work around the seam rather than forcing one point.
  3. Note which side of the old cell faces up, then lift it out with a fingernail or plastic pick - avoid metal tools across the contacts.
  4. Fit the new CR2025 the same way up, snap the halves together, and test the lock button before walking away from the car.
