Battery
The Nissan key fob is a vital component. It lets you unlock your doors as well as start your car and perform other functions. If it isn't working, then you want to determine the reason. TheKeyLab can fix the issue by simply replacing the battery.
A brand new CR2032 battery can be purchased at a discount or hardware supermarket for a low price. You'll need a tiny, flat-headed screwdriver for prying the back panel off your key fob.

Once you've opened the fob, take out the old battery and insert the new one, ensuring that it's properly positioned.
Based on the Nissan model, you may need to confirm that the battery is of the proper type. This information is usually located in the owner's guide or on the backside of the fob that you use to open the key. Replace the battery inside the fob and then snap the cover shut.
