Changing the Battery in Your Mazda 3 Key Fob

The addition of a spare key fob to your mazda spare key replacement 3 can be an affordable solution to free yourself from having to be towed to the dealership and having them reprogram your keys.

Battery Replacement

Change the battery in the Mazda 3 key fob is a simple process that you can perform at home. However, you should replace the battery if it fails, or when the key fob shows a message on the multi-information display that reads, "Low key fob battery. Replace battery."

To open the key fob's casing, you'll need a tape-wrapped flathead screwdriver and a bit of patience. Place the head of the flathead screwdriver into a notch, or gap in the bottom part of the Mazda 3 key fob to cut off the lower half. Repeat the procedure for the top piece of metal but be careful not to scratch the rubber ring that is on the bottom of the case.

Once the fob case is open, you'll see the slot on either side of the case, which houses the battery. Use the tape-wrapped flathead screwdriver to gently open the case, beginning at one end and moving to the next. Remove the old CR2025 and replace it with a new one, making sure you put it on its face to ensure the correct orientation. Finally, put the cap back on and then reattach both sides of the key fob case. Keep pressing until you can hear them click.

Now that you've replaced the battery, test the fob to make sure it works by locking and unlocking your doors. If everything is working then you can begin using your Mazda 3's remote features to drive again!

Pairing Issues

If your key fob stopped functioning suddenly it could be a sign that the transmitter in the car is damaged. This usually requires the assistance of a professional for repair and will likely need a new key fob.

If you've tried to change the battery and reprogram the key fob, but it's not working, the chip inside the key fob may be faulty. This can happen when the key fob has been dropped on hard surfaces or exposed to salt water or even brushed by dirty hands.

To determine the cause You will need to locate a tiny "key" located in the seam of the fob that lets you take it apart and remove the circuit board. You can then check the chip for corrosion or damage. To avoid damaging the chip, it is recommended to clean the chip with a new paper towel.

If you are unsure, you can also check the battery connector terminals for cracks or breakage. If this is the case, carefully connecting them back will usually restore the function of the key fob. Similarly, you can inspect the buttons to see whether they're worn or damaged. If the buttons are loose they can be resoldered to their original position unless they have physically snapped.

Interference Signals

There's nothing more difficult than trying to start your car only to see the message "No Fob Detected". This usually occurs at the most awkward moments, such as when you are late for work or when you have to pick up children from daycare or school. There are several things you can do to find out what's causing the problem.

Interference signals can interfere with the remote key fob signal coming from the vehicle and cause it to not work correctly. This could be caused by objects such as buildings, weather conditions and transmitters that operate on the same frequency. Interference can occur when your vehicle is equipped with aftermarket equipment that transmits at the same frequency as your key fob.

In addition, if the key fob is exposed to salt or water seawater, it may be damaged. Water can get into the rubber seals of the electronic chip particularly when the key fob is submerged in water for a long period of time. The chip can stop working and require replacement of the keyfob. If you have a key which can be programmed to work, you can clean it using isopropyl or electronic cleaners to bring it back to its original functionality. If this doesn't work then it's likely that the chip is fried and requires replacement.

Locking/Unlocking of the Doors

The buttons on the key fob transmit electronic signals to a solenoid inside the car. It converts that signal into mechanical action that locks and unlocks the doors. If the door lock isn't working, it could be a solenoid issue that requires investigation with the help of an expert repair shop for autos.

A low-voltage battery can also stop the fob from functioning properly. This happens when the battery is unable to charge, or if the contacts get corroded and stop transferring electricity. The good news is that a new battery is able to solve this issue in only minutes.

If the key fob doesn't work after changing the battery or try to re-program it then the problem may be in the receiver module. The device receives radio frequency signals from the key fob and interprets them into controlling the vehicle's functions. If it breaks down, it can be expensive to fix.

To determine whether this is the case, start by inserting the spare key into the key slot and setting the ignition to ON. Press the key fob twice for 10 seconds without taking it out. The Mazda 3 car Key 3 system will now connect the key to the car and you can use it as your primary remote for driving. You can program up to three keys this way.
