Life can be chaotic. Like when you're pouring coffee, shepherding three kids, feeding the dog, and trying to calm your boss down over the phone because he can't find his lucky pen. And just when you're finally out the door, ready to take on the day, your Subaru Forester key fob stops working. Or breaks. Or you just can't find it because either the youngest or the dog has buried it in the backyard for the umpteenth time! Whenever that happens, Keyless Entry Remote is there to help you control the chaos.
Use this guide to learn how to replace your Subaru Forester key fob's battery and what to do when you've lost or damaged your remote.
Batteries are the most common cause of key fobs suddenly losing fuctionality. To find the correct battery for your Subaru Forester key fob, use this battery finder by entering your year, make, and model. Subaru Forester remotes usually use a CR2032, CR1620, CR2025, & CR1632 battery. Most key fob batteries cost less than $6 and are available for purchase online.
For newer Subaru Foresters, insert the hidden key into a designated slot to open the case. For older Subaru Foresters, 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 Subaru Forester key fob on our YouTube page. If you cannot find your specific Subaru Forester key fob, you can find a video showing the battery replacement process of a different remote that is the same type as yours.
