Working Around a Dead Nissan Fob Battery

Wondering how to change the battery in a Nissan key fob? Before you can run out for replacement parts, just hop into your car for a minute. Your Nissan key fob has a backup key inside the unit, so there’s no need to worry about being stranded in Danville when your battery dies. Just grab your remote key fob and follow these steps:

1. Flip the key fob over and look for a small release latch.
2. Push the release latch and pull out the emergency key at the bottom of the fob.
3. Unlock doors as usual and look for a key fob port to start the car.
4. If your car has the port, put the fob in the port and tap the brake or clutch as you press the START/STOP button.
5. If your car does not have a port, step on the brake or clutch as you press the key against the START/STOP button.

Now that you’ve figured out how to use your backup key, it’s time to figure out what battery a Nissan key fob takes if you don’t know already!
