'Life always finds a way.' To catch you off guard, that is. Even the most diligent of people can find their Nissan Altima 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 Nissan Altima 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 Nissan Altima key fob, use this battery finder by entering your year, make, and model. Nissan Altima remotes usually use a CR2032, CR2025, or CR1620 battery. Most key fob batteries cost less than $6 and are available for purchase online.
For newer Nissan Altimas, insert the hidden key into a designated slot to open the case. For older Nissan Altimas, 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 Nissan Altima key fob on our YouTube page. If you cannot find your specific Nissan Altima key fob, you can find a video showing the battery replacement process of a different remote that is the same type as yours.
If changing your Nissan Altima key fob's battery does not resolve your issue, you may need to replace your Nissan Altima key fob entirely.
Depending on the damage, you have options when dealing with a broken Nissan Altima key fob.
If the key blade is the issue, you only need to order a new, uncut key blade from Keyless Entry Remote. Then you need to cut your new key blade. For this service, seek out trusted automotive professionals, such as the ones found here on our Locksmith Locator page.
If your Nissan Altima key fob's case is damaged but the internal electronics are fine, you can order a replacement case. This does depend on the availability of Nissan Altima key fob cases. Aftermarket cases are also an option.
If your remote is damaged beyond the key blade or case, then you may need to replace your Nissan Altima key fob entirely.
A replacement Nissan Altima key fob is the only solution to a lost or severely damaged remote. Brand-new replacements can cost you $200 or more. A used, refurbished key fob is a more cost-effective option.
