Good job. The training aid was clear and lacked nothing. Even had the battery type and a buy function which is a nice touch.
Excellent guide, Thanks for the details
Thanks for the help! Glad I just happened to have a battery and easy to follow instructions.
Easy Cheesy Lemon Squeezy! Thanks for the assist!
Nice tutorial! Here’s a good link if you have other Escape year models: https://fobbattery.com/vehicles/ford/esc...
Thank you so so much! I have a 2014 ford escape and at the worst time ever, it decided to alert me my fob battery was low. (C’mon life!) Worst time ever: 2 ER visits in a month and my hands are numb and tingling and difficult to use! I just completed your excellent guide and the task is DONE and I don’t have to bother my husband! I buy my button cell batts on ebay in bulk….great prices there. Thank you so much!! If I can do it with my issues, anyone can!
I’m glad I found this help. I would not have realized to remove the metal key first. Thanks.
The photo and description in steps 3 and 4 are misleading. Prying the notch as shown breaks the back cover sub assembly (Ford logo) instead of causing the back cover sub assembly to detach from the main fob body.
I found it easier to use my fingernail to pry around the joint between the back cover sub assembly and the main body to open the fob.
Once battery is replaced and the fob is closed, is there any (re)programming that needs to occur to sync the fob with the car?
Easy Peasy, Thank you!
For some reason I can’t get the cover to snap back together? The little “unlock button” you slide down to take apart the remote is down and won’t slide up to lock it together?
