How to Replace a Nissan Juke Spare Key

Nissan Juke is a fun and stylish hatchback with an unusual engine setup. It's a bit noisy but it's still a lot of fun to drive.

The battery for the key fob in your Nissan Juke should be replaced every two years or more, or if the battery is low. You can do it yourself, but you'll need a few tools.

Dead Coin Battery

If your Nissan Juke key fob has stopped functioning, the first thing to look at is the coin battery within it. It may be dead and needs to be replaced. This is a simple fix that will take only several minutes. You can do this by flipping the fob over and removing the tiny latch/release at the back. Replace the battery that was in use, making sure it is facing down on the fob. Place the two halves with care.

If the fob has been exposed to water, it needs to be cleaned prior to putting the new battery in. Clean the fob with isopropyl electronic cleaner, and paper towels. Then, let it dry completely prior to reinstalling the battery.

To start the car, the key fob must be paired with the car. This can be accomplished using the instructions in the owner's manual or with an OBDII scan. If the key fob has not been linked, it is most likely the reason of why it stopped functioning. It could also be that the fob has a faulty chip, but this is extremely rare. A new receiver module could be required in this instance. If this is the case the receiver module will need to be replaced by an expert technician.

Water Damage

Key fobs operate on batteries, and the batteries should be replaced every two years, or as soon as your car stops responding when you press the "start" switch. The key's rubber seals are designed to keep out water, however submerging a key fob in the ocean or in pool water can damage the electronic chip. If this is the situation, you will need to buy a replacement key from Nissan or an automotive locksmith.
