2016 Chevy Mailbu key fob battery replacement 

Just a small point..If, when popping the cover off, you rotate the fob over, there is no need to have all the small parts fall out. The battery will be right there in front of you and all the small parts remain as they should in the Fob. Thanks for the video

I can't believe they wanted to charge me $200 for this at the dealership. I got 5 batteries for $6 on Amazon and did it myself in 30 seconds. Thanks! Works with a 2018 Volt too.

7 years and this video is STILL being helpful.

I didn't know that I had to replace the battery until the message pops up on the screen. I've driving my other car for 16 years and never replaced the battery in remote key or even refill the air conditioner. No more good cars in this days 😢 Thanks for your helpful video!

Thanks for taking the time. It's a simple process but it is difficult pulling the case apart, especially once the birthday candles surpass 60. Thanks again.

I knew there would be a very simple trick. Rather than destroy the fob trying to figure it out myself, this two minute video showed me the process and now the battery is replaced. Thanks!

Did this, remore didn't work at all! Rewatched your video, slapped my head, and turned the battery over. Works like a charm!! Thanks!

Thank you so much, it was really easy to find these batteries and change them by following your instructions. I wish more people post useful videos like yourself. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for the easy tutorial. I was planning on going to the dealership today, but checked out your video first. I changed both fobs easily and already had the batteries on hand.

Just did this in our 2018 key fob. Saved a ton of money. When my dad’s 2015 died the dealership wanted $50.

Thank You!! Worked for my 2018 Malibu

Thanks man, you just saved me $50 did it in 30 sec! 2017 Chevy Cruze owner

Thank you. Works for the 2016 cruze lt as well. Exact same key fob for the push button start. Well not exactly. Just changed my batter. The guts are a little less fancy but the outside looks the same

2017 Malibu. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

Thanks, dude. I thought I was going to break it. 🤣

Thank you very much. Very simple and straightforward how to. Replaced my battery in less than a minute after watching this.

Thanks for this, I was feeling pretty dumb trying not to destroy it while fixing it.

Have a2016 and I did it in 20 seconds. This tutorial was a huge help . Thank you 🙏

Thank you! I changed my battery in seconds! Saved a ton of money and time!

The tool-free design is genius.

Thanks man. Good, helpful vid! Now I just need to get my 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT back on the road. Battery troubles.😅

Thanks Alot for this tutorial! Saved me money for replacing the battery in my 2019 Camero. Got the battery from advanced auto 💯

Thanks for saving my sanity and my key fob!

Thanks for the video. Short and straight to the point.

Thanks! Also works for the fob of the 2019 Chevy Equinox

Thank you! Fixed mine with ease. $7 for 2 batteries

Thanks! You helped a grandma 👵 🙏

Thanks, i didn't want to break anything so i needed this.

Easy, thanks! Mine wasn't as messy, those components stayed together.

Thank you kindly! Works on a 2019 Traverse

The owners manual didn't tell me shit about replacing the batteries. Only that the batteries will need replace when the dash signal for it comes on. No shit! Thank you for the video, it saved me from breaking the damn thing.

Thank you!! This video is well done! Just did it on my 2019 Equinox

Thank-You! I got a Chevy last year and the service dept. guy did not know how to open up the fob.

worked to change the battery in my 2019 Chevy Blazer key fob. Thank you.

Thank you so much for posting this video. Saved me! This is the exact Smart Key Fob I have for my 2016 Chevy Cruze

Perfect! Exactly what we needed to get the job done.

Thanks for this. I always afraid to just pry something open especially expensive to replace. Health, Happiness & Success to you always!

I needed this thank you

This was very helpful for folks who aren't too hands on 😊 Thanks💪

Thank you so much, I accidentally ran over my key with a forklift. Bought an empty shell online and just swapped out the parts from the inside.

Awesome video and so easy to follow thank you!

That was an EASY battery change. THANKS!

That was very helpful it worked in my 2017 Malibu thanks for posting this 👍

Thank you so much. I'm going to buy a battery right now.

Yes, thanks for posting...made the task easy as pie. Thumbs up!

Thanks for the information. My battery just died. Need to change for new one 👍

Thank you very much for this. I was worried about breaking my fob lol!

Well done man! You helped me so much! 😀👍

Thanks so much. Lol I had a harder time getting new battery out of stupid plastic.

Very helpful - my Chevy Equinox has the same type of key fob, and this worked well.

Thanks very much bro 👊🏽

Good stuff. Thank you

Thank you so much for the video.

Thanks, worked just like the video.

One thing to be careful of which I found this out the hard way after doing it myself is that there is a tiny spring that is a part of the key release mechanism. When I took mine apart to replace the battery everything fell apart and didn't realize I lost the spring until I went to put the key back in and the fob kept falling off my lanyard. Only way to fix it is to buy a used or new fob since the dealer doesn't sell the springs even though they know it's a known issue with these fobs.

Thanks work for my 2018 equinox

Great video thanks for sharing!

Thanks big help keep doing the best

Thanks 😊

Gracias

This worked for my Chevy cruise rs! Thanks

Thanks bro

thank you

Thanks!!! i just changed my battery.

I changed my battery. However my keys aren’t working to start, lock my car? Do i need to do anything else?

Does it have to be panasonic? Can it be energizer

Good video. One other suggestion is to be very careful touching the circuit board since static electricity can damage it. This is stated in the manual.

Do you have to re program.

49 Thumbs Down 👎 are Chevy Parts/Service department

Can the key fob cause the check engine light to come on?

Ty

Thank u sir

Thanks

I don't know why these key fobs can't have slots for the batteries to slide in and out instead. They could have it set up like sim cards on smart phones.

Thank you! 🙏❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Thank you so much

Awesome thanks for posting mate

Please help!! while replacing the battery, a tiny little spring fell out, I still have it but I have no clue where it goes to put it back in

THANK YOU!!! Very helpful video! I accidentally run it through my laundry wash!
