How To Start A Nissan With A Dead Key Fob
Your vehicle key fob is an essential tool for your vehicle that is often overlooked. When you’re rushing to get into your Nissan to get to work or run errands, you may suddenly be stopped when you can’t open your door or start your car. If you’re in this situation, your Nissan key fob battery may need to be replaced. Luckily, the service team at Edwards Nissan is here to help you learn how to start a Nissan with a dead key fob. We even have simple steps for a Nissan key fob replacement, so you have uninterrupted trips around Omaha.
How to Get into Your Nissan
If your key fob isn’t functioning properly, you can still get into your Nissan vehicle and go about your day around Bellevue. Simply:
- Flip the key fob over and push the small release latch.
- Remove the hidden emergency key from the case.
- Use the key in the driver’s side door to enter your vehicle.
How to Start Your Car with a Dead Nissan Key Fob Battery
Once you’ve entered your vehicle, here’s how to start a Nissan with a dead key fob:
- Nissan cars, trucks, or SUVs with a key fob port can be started by inserting the key into the port and stepping on the brake pedal/clutch while pressing the START/STOP button.
- If you don’t have a port, simply have to step on the brake/clutch while pressing the key fob against the START/STOP button.
Nissan Key Fob Battery Change
Now that you’ve learned how to start Nissan with a dead key fob, follow these simple steps for a Nissan key fob replacement so your La Vista trips remain smooth:
- Remove the hidden key you used to get into your Nissan.
- Separate the sides of the key housing. You should see the circuit board secure on one side and the battery on the other.
- Remove the dead battery and make a note of the battery’s position.
- Replace the CR2025 battery with the positive side down. The negative side of the battery should be facing up toward you.
