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 Kia Forte 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 Kia Forte 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 Kia Forte key fob, use this battery finder by entering your year, make, and model. Kia Forte remotes usually use a CR2032 & CR2016 battery. Most key fob batteries cost less than $6 and are available for purchase online.
For newer Kia Fortes, insert the hidden key into a designated slot to open the case. For older Kia Fortes, 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 Kia Forte key fob on our YouTube page. If you cannot find your specific Kia Forte 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 Kia Forte key fob's battery does not resolve your issue, you may need to replace your Kia Forte key fob entirely.
The extent of the damage to your Kia Forte key fob will determine your options.
A damamged key blade means you need to order a new, uncut key blade and have it cut. To cut your key blade, seek out trusted automotive professionals, such as the ones found here on our Locksmith Locator page.
If your Kia Forte key fob's case is damaged but the internal electronics are fine, you can easily replace the case. The availability of Kia Forte key fob cases cannot be guaranteed. If you don't mind not having a logo, you can try aftermarket cases.
If your remote is damaged beyond the key blade or case, then you may need to replace your Kia Forte key fob entirely.
A replacement Kia Forte 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.
