'Life always finds a way.' To catch you off guard, that is. Even the most diligent of people can find their Chevrolet Malibu key fob is suddenly not working, broken, or lost on a day when time is not on their side. When that happens, Keyless Entry Remote is there to help you show life that you are also capable of 'finding a way'.
Use this guide to learn how to replace your Chevrolet Malibu key fob's battery and what to do when you've lost or damaged your remote.
A dead battery is the most common cause of a remote that has suddenly stopped working. To find the correct replacement battery for your Chevrolet Malibu key fob, use this battery finder by entering your year, make, and model. Chevrolet Malibu remotes usually use a CR2032 battery. Most key fob batteries cost less than $6 and are available for purchase online.
For newer Chevrolet Malibus, insert the hidden key into a designated slot to open the case. For older Chevrolet Malibus, use a thin object (like a flathead screwdriver) to pry open the case at the notch. After opening the case, gently lift the circuit board to access the battery. Before removing the battery, note how it fits in the case. Next, replace the old battery with the new one and close the case. Test your key fob's functionality by pressing buttons to ensure it is working properly. If it doesn't work, adjust the battery by ensuring the connections are clean and in contact with the battery.
To see step-by-step video instructions on replacing your remote's battery, search for your Chevrolet Malibu key fob on our YouTube page.
