How do I change the battery on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline remote?

I love my Honda Ridgeline! After purchasing it a few months ago, it’s been nothing but awesome sauce. But recently, my key fob has been a bit dodgy. How can I change the battery on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline remote?

Eric Schad · Updated on Dec 17, 2021

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Car key fobs, also called remotes, are super handy. They tend to function flawlessly for long stretches—until the battery dies. So you’re right, the battery might be to blame since yours is acting up.

To change the battery on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline remote, follow these steps:

Use a flathead screwdriver to pop the key fob open.

Locate the flat battery inside.

Replace the battery with a CR2032 battery, which you can buy online or at your local pharmacy or grocer.

For added peace of mind, you might want to consider adding

towing and labor coverage

to your car insurance policy. And to get the best rate, there’s only one place to go: Jerry.
