I didn’t even know there was a key inside that thing ! Top video. Straightforward instructions. No horrible techno music😂. 10/10. Thank you.
Thanks man! Will release some remixes in the future to appeal to all music genres :D
@@WatchItPaintIt please don't :)
Same, I used to get the dealership to do it...
That makes 2 of us! I got 2 fobs for my ST and was angry I didn’t have a key lol
I agree....
1:44 of being a hero. Straightforward and no bullshiet. Thank you.
Thank you for a clear and direct "how to". Bonus points awarded for not having loud, obnoxious intro music.
I'm 68 and needed battery change. Last time shop cost £7 to fit and battery extra. Just watched Yr video, and did it myself in couple minutes. Thank you 👍
Glad to save you a few quid. Get yourself a cold one on us!
Really wish I'd seen this before making mine look like a Jackson Pollock painting
:-D :-D
I am so glad I did. ;)
No Truer Words have EVER been Written!!! 😢
I searched for awhile to try to figure out how to do this and this video was the only thing that actually made sense. THANK YOU.
Woohoo! Glad I could help :-) thanks for the comment! Happy driving
Thanks! I've done the way you described by prying apart the sides and it does leave the fob all scratched up. Your method is actually easier and cleaner. I do this maybe once a year, so I tend to forget how I did it last time. It's a blessing to have resources like yours. Cheers!
Thank you, short and sweet. Just the facts, well delivered and easy to understand by someone that hasn't done this task previously. Much appreciated indeed.
Thank you for this video. I was surprised to see how easy it was as I wasn’t confident in changing the batteries in both my keys. Took next to no time. Really straight forward . Thank you again. 🤗
Glad it helped! Happy driving!!
Perfect, clear instructions, worked a treat. Thanks! And discovered there was no metal key in one of the units.
Was just about to start prising screw driver around sides then I watched this - worked a treat! Quick and useful video! Cheers
Thank you very much. It was so easy to follow your instructions. Changed the battery 3 years ago, also your video, but then I forgot how, so nice to see it again. 🌹
Thank God!
Direct to the point, good visuals with straightforward instructions.. no time wastes. Nice one!
I have watched this video before, and it made opening and changing the battery simple. Funny enough, today I tried it again, on my spare key, but it wouldn't open until I watched this video over again. It's actually the little twist that is being done, before you get access to the battery that makes this a very good an informative video. The terror of using too much force, just simply vanishes because it's so simple. Thanks once again!
Hahha. Glad I could help. I also have to watch my own video every time :-D I never remember how to do it
@@WatchItPaintIt Oh, I do remember, but it's that last turn after you've got the screwdriver in. Also, have you tried making this work with the actual key? I mean, it's flat and it fits in there. I did try, but no dice, until I watched the video and changed to the flat screwdriver. The reason I ask is if you're at a place without a screwdriver, and the only flat and long is your key.
TLDR: Open this with just the key.
Thank you, simple, clear, straight to the point. 10/10 video!
The wife didn’t want me going near the fob in case I broke it , so she took it to Timpsons ,got charged a tenner(excluding battery) That was on our Ford Mondeo a few years ago , changed car and low battery sign starts coming up, not getting stung again , watched your tutorial and sorted it as I went, superb thanks for this
i've done this job a few times, but there's always been a long enough gap between times that i forget how it works and have to look it up again. this is the best video i've seen on it, nice and clear as others have said
Thanks man! Glad it can help
Would never had guessed 1st part was fine with the ford emblem opening up and the key inside as shown but the 2nd part how to get to the actual battery until you showed us
Simple 2min job 👍👍👍
This really is a perfect TH-cam how to video. Straight to the point and really clear. I've just replaced the battery in my Focus keyfob. Really straightforward after watching this. Thanks for posting it!
Glad i could help!
I really like the use of washes here. I feel like you're able to really express the essence of the keyfob.
Haha :-D I think I nailed the weathering effect too!
Unlike many videos, this one shows the correct way to do it. Thank you.
I can't thumb up twice, but I came back to your video more than once and it has always been helpful. Thanks 👍😁
Thanks for a straight forward and short video, its still going strong for my 71 reg Focus
A no nonsense guide to changing a battery. Straight to the point and a job made easy.
Literally the best of these key fob videos. I followed along finished like seconds after you did. Thank you
Thanks dude :-) tried to make it quick and painless!
Thank you so much for this video. Having to replace car key battery is another little stressful thing but your instructions are so straightforward and helpful. My key is working perfectly now and no damage 😊
So glad to make you’re life a little easier! Happy driving!
Just bought a kuga with a replace battery alert, this vid made it so easy.
Lifesaver! This definitely beat attempting to make sense of the manual and/or contacting a mechanic
Woohooo! Glad I could help!
Thank you for a great and informative video. This is really not hard at all - when you know what to do. I think a lot of people are scared for ruining the programming or something. I remember taking the key fob to the 2011 Mondeo I used to own to my local Ford dealer. They didn't know how to do this and they didn't care to help me with it either. I was just shocked when I learned how easy it is.
I once got charged $60 for a new battery plus change and I just stood there thinking never again and from that day onwards I’ve always changed my own batteries for 10% of that cost, it’s so easy and can be done in 30 seconds once you know what to do
Might even be 5% as I think the last pack I bought for $6 had 2 batteries included, so yeah I can’t recommend changing it yourself enough
Cheers mate...worked a treat this video 🙌🙌🙌👍😎
Brilliant...thank you. Fitted a new battery in seconds...whereas I couldn't get the key fob open before watching your video.
Perfect simple to follow instructions, job done on my key fob in no time. Thanks.
I still have my 2015 ST and I keep coming back to this excellent video when it comes time to change my key fob battery. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Fiesta ST? Sold mine last year :,( but I still come to this video too for the Mondeo :-D glad I could help! Happy driving
@@WatchItPaintIt Actually, it's a Ford Focus ST. :) I love the car, but the clutch is going & it sounds like it'll be an expensive fix. I hope we can keep it; it's such a speedy little run-around.
Thanks, just replaced batteries on both of my keys quickly and easily!
This is the best video for the task. I watch it every time I have to change the battery!
I usually never comment on videos but this was so helpful! Been trying for ages to get it open using the other way and this make it open so easily!
Haha! Awesome, glad it was helpful enough it made you comment :-)
Exactly what I was looking for! So helpful, THANKS!!
Appreciate your video! Finally replaced my batteries after 5 strong years of use and this was just what I needed!
Thank you, it was so simple and didn't ruin my key fob. It was also handy that you put the correct battery type in there as well ☺️
This is so much clearer than the instructions in the manual, thank you!
Glad it could help Alice! Practicing 1000 times before I recorded probably helped :-D
Instead of a screwdriver, I used tweezers. But the directions were spot on. Thank you so much for making this.
Yeah any thin metal should work! Thanks dude. Glad it helped
Thanks so much for this very straight forward video. I was charged £12 by Timpson to replace the battery in my last key fob! Not any more after seeing this.
Thanks! That was so much easier than I expected.
I always enjoy to see nice explanations like this one! Thanks
You sir are a hero and scholar...followed the instructions and replaced batteries for 2 keys.
It’s people like you that make TH-cam !Thank you so very helpful !
Happy to help!
Each couple of years I come back to this video to see how to change the key of my fiesta Titanium. As always. Thanks very much my man
I'm here, one year later, doing the same thing, and as usual, thanks very much. Cheers from Argentina
Glad to keep being useful! Happy driving!
Just helped an old folk at work changing his car key battery with the aid of this video. He doesnt know what TH-cam is and refers everything as Google. He praised Google for saving the day!
Thank you so much - was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be!!
I was trying to do it the other night and found the key (didn't know it was there lol). Your video really helped me, thank you for sharing your video with us all. 👍
Glad to help!
I keep coming back to this, thank you for posting!
Thanks for posting. Just changed the battery in the spare key of my wife’s Escape. Easy as pie.
Thank you for this. My husband kept taking my keys to change the battery because he thought I wasn’t able to do it. He doesn’t need to know that I really didn’t know what I was doing until I saw this video 😂
I watch my own video when I need to know how to change them :-D I wouldn’t be surprised if he does too :-D but nice one you! Fight the power! :-D
MUCH CLEARER THAN OTHER DESCRIPTIONS, THANK YOU
Thanks! So simple and fast way of spending it with the PERFECT amount of detail
Thank you! Really glad it could help!
I forgot how to open the key fob and I almost scuffed it trying so I decided to TH-cam it and there you were. Thank you so much
Best straightforward with instructions ever thank you dude you earned a like and a subscriber
Just tore my fingers to bits trying to get into my FiST one, wish i'd watched this first!
Much better than the other ' wedge it open at the side with a screwdriver' video I watched, this works better thanks 👍
Yes! That works but it’s gonna mark the case even if only a little! Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this video and information on "Ford Keys". Well done that man.
You're a lifesaver! This is the easiest tutorial I´ve seen by far... Thank youuu!
You’re welcome, glad it could help!
Thank you so much for posting this! It was very helpful! Changed my key battery after having the warning sign come up for weeks. Phew
Such a great video. So much easier than what I used to do. THANKS!!!
Just changed the battery in my two keys (main and spare). Very easy after following this video. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome!
Wow, thank you! I was happy to search for instructions instead of destroying it by prying.
If I’d known it was that be easy I would’ve changed it 6 months ago when the car started beeping at me telling me to change the battery... So for 6 months I’ve had the car beeping at me ‘change the battery’, every trip BEEP!! At first it was just annoying and over time it became the norm. BEEEEEEP!!!
The only reason I looked into changing it was the key battery finally gave up the ghost and I had to open the door with the little key. Imagine needing to open a car with a key 😳 I thought ‘not having that!’
Gonna miss my daily beep from the car.... NOT!
Great video. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Just leave your seat belt off for a mo, you'll get more than enough beeps...I'm not off the drive before it starts on at me, it's a bit like the wife in many ways 😀
It beeps for 6 months? Buzzing! I've only had it for a month. 5 months until I need to do anything about it then 😎
@@kevind26 🤣🤣🤣 Trust me, the battery change is so easy it’s not even worth it! Saying that my missus key has started ‘the beeps’ and I’ve not had the time to change her battery… I am just evil and like the thought that every time she drives the car she gets the beeps like I used to and it winds her up like it did me! 😂
@@robwalker7575 in our Kuga the pressure sensor in the passenger seat is faulty… so if you drive off, even with no one on the passenger seat the beeps turn into bongs then BONGS until you do the seatbelt up. Well annoying!
Maybe I should look for a video on how to fix that! 😂
@@BeerBellyBrit nah, mate do a "ford beeper mix meme" to old songs 😀
I saw one of these videos once and they didn’t even need any screwdriver to do the job when they got inside they used the end of the key to do the twisting mechanism part of it
Thanks for the video
Thanks for this video. For anyone wondering, it is possible to use a CR2025, instead of video's recommended CR2032. As that's what I found already installed when I went to replace my key fob battery. However the CR2032 is 0.7mm taller and so has ~240mAh of power vs CR2025's ~165mAh.
So a CR2032 may last around 1/3rd longer and the thinner CR2025 *might* get slightly worse contact if your fob contacts don't stretch the extra 0.7mm
Thank you this was so helpful changed mine in no time at all !!!
Top man, still helping folks all these years later!
Short and to the point, perfect tutorial!
Thank you very much indeed, excellent, straight forward, short and clear. Extremely helpful.
Thanks! Have come back to this video twice now. Super easy to follow.
Glad to help! Happy driving :-)
Thank you very much! I have replaced the battery at least 3 times, and I always have to rewatch your video. Thank you!
I watch my own video to do it too :-D
AMazing! thanks so much for this! I was trying the other way and just couldn't work out how to do the 'twist with the screwdriver' bit. All fixed now and no pesky light on my dash! :D
No problem! So glad it could help :) I was the same and thought it was worth sharing the safer way with everyone :-) now I need to fix my parking sensors :D never ending with cars is it!
@@WatchItPaintIt hoping it will stop my car alarm going off randomly! :/
Thank you! Super and straightfoward helpful info
Thinks for the quick easy no nonsense video.
A kak handed dude here appreciated that! And saved a £50 visit to the garage lol
Really didn't want to take my car in the shop for a simple fix, and this seemed to do the trick! 10/10
Glad I could help!! Happy avoiding being ripped off :-)
As said in many comments. Top top informative no bull video. Thank you.
Thank you for providing this valuable service. 👍
That was so clear and easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! Changed my battery super easy, with no dage to the fob
Glad it helped! Happy driving
Managed to change mine in seconds after watching this. Thanks.
Glad it helped! Let’s set up a race some time, see who can do it fastest! :-D have a great day!
No need to watch another video . Clear and simple tutorial , like it 👍
Hell yeah! Straight to the point and easy to follow 🎉😊
Thank you, it was a great explanation and very helpful.
Thanks for the video, really good and simple to understand.
Just done this on my 2019 focus. Battery is the CR2032. Great video. Should have done this earlier. Thanks
No background music just perfect instructions many thanks
Don’t want the dubstep remix edition? :D
Absolutely brilliant clear video. Thank you!
Thanks so much. No baiting and over explaining, simple and straightforward
Do you think baiting on this kind of video would work? “I changed my fob battery and you won’t believe what happened…” :-D or maybe “Local Ford Dealers hate me for telling you this secret” :D thanks for your comment, happy driving!
Asked my other half to do it and he couldn’t ‘take it to Fords don’t you do it you’ll break it’ One video later Ive done it and the old man is in silence . Thank you
Glad I could help!
Thanks mate! Finnish guy is happy for this video Ford focus 2019 ecoboost nice car
Thank you so much. I tried to figure it out but your video made it easy.
Thank you for this very useful video. I now know where the emergency key is if the battery goes flat.
mate, you are amazing. i would have never figured to twist the screwdriver... thanks a million
Glad I could help
Got me through a job today, thanks for the help
Thank you!
Very easy and clear video.
Well done 👍🏻
i know you did this years ago, but thank you very much very easy to do with the right info 👍👍
Excellent instructions,worked a treat.
