Opening the key fob case without scratching or cracking it
Removing the old coin cell battery
Which battery size to buy

Snapping the case back together and testing lock, unlock, and remote functions
Whether the fob needs to be reprogrammed after a battery change

RELATED MODELS
The Ford Kuga and Lincoln MKC (2015-2019) share this platform, and Ford used very similar flip keys and intelligent access fobs across the Focus, Fusion, Edge, Explorer, and F-150 of the same era, so this battery swap applies to many of them.

Quick tip: on push button start models with a dead fob, hold the fob against the backup spot shown in your owner manual and the Escape can still start.
