My favorite trick is to find the LED tea candles at Dollar Tree, you get 2 for $1 (used to get 3) These have a 2032 battery in them, so 2 for a $1. Your old battery will still light the candle in most cases. thanks for the dead battery start tip.

Dollar Tree has recently changed their Tea Candles to take 2, LR44 (1.5V) batteries. Make sure they say "CR2032" before buying.

My FOB uses 2025 batteries 😔

Always be careful of random people videos. 9 times out of ten it's not the battery that's the problem. If you look at the surface of your battery you will see black dots were the contact points touch, this is a build up of dirt and dust caused by the magnetic field generated when the battery is in use. Just rotate the battery a 1/4 turn (Either way) and the fob will work like new. Works 90% of the time! Hugh

Also, if your fob is totally dead you can push the start button with the logo end of your fob and your car will start. I just looked this up two nights ago when my grandson asked me about it and I'm really glad that I did because today I couldn't get it to start so I pulled the fob out and push the start button with the logo and and voila it started just as they said it would. And the person in the video I watched prior also took their battery completely out of their fob to demonstrate that it works.

If your fob has a 2016 battery, replace with a 2016. If it has a 2032, replace with a 2032. The "20" refers to the width across, so yes, both batteries are the same diameter. The "16" refers to the depth. If you choose a different battery size you potentially will not have the correct depth to make a contact OR be too wide to close effectively. Changing the size makes no sense. They are both 3 volt and retails for the same cost.

@MattStephensRich

The change in size simply means you have more storage capacity. Can confirm the 2032 worked as a swap for the 2016 in this case. :)
