How to open a 2011 Mazda 3 key fob
I need to get inside the key fob for my 2011 Mazda 3 so that I can change the batter. But there doesn’t seem to be any way to open it. Does that fob even open?

key fob. - Change the key to the “out” position so that it’s pointing directly up and out of the fob.
- Using a very small screwdriver or the end of a coat hanger, insert the end of the screwdriver into the opening on the back of the fob—the same opening that the key folds in and out from.
- You should see/feel a little latch just below the key. Press that tab up and toward the key.
- The piece of the fob that holds the key should pop loose when you hit the tab correctly.
- Using your flathead screwdriver again, pry the two remaining halves of the fob apart. With the third piece already removed, the remaining haves should come away easily.
- The battery should be clearly visible once the fob is out. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one.
And you’re all set!
Now that you’re finished replacing the battery in your 2011 Mazda’s key fob, you might want to take a few minutes out of your day and go over your

situation. And that’s it—you’ve successfully opened your Ford Fusion’s key fob! You should now be able to access its battery without any more trouble.
