🔧 Repair Overview
Air Filter Replacement is one of the most common repairs for 2019 Ford Fusion. This repair involves replacing the damaged engine component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 15-20 min and requires easy skill level.
What You'll Need
- Replacement engine part (OEM or aftermarket)
- Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
- Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)
- Adhesive strips or glue
- Clean workspace with good lighting
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Insert a small spudger or opening tool into the seam near the keyring.
Gently twist the spudger to separate the black cover from the key fob.
Step 2:
Use your fingers or the end of a spudger to remove the old battery.
Note the battery’s orientation (+/–) before removing it to ensure the new battery is installed correctly.
Step 3:
Insert the new CR2450 lithium battery into the slot.
Note the orientation(+/-) of the battery slot.
Press it down with your fingers.
Step 4:
Align the cover with the fob and press them together firmly until they snap back into place.
Reinsert the mechanical key if it was removed.
Step 5:
Test the key fob on your 2019 Ford Fusion to confirm the new battery is working.
Dispose of the used battery properly.
Do not throw the used CR2450 battery in regular trash as it contains chemicals that can harm the environment.
Place the used battery in a small container or plastic bag and drop it off at a local battery recycling center, electronics store, or collection point.
40% of the heavy metals in U.S. landfills are estimated to come from discarded electronics—like mercury and arsenic, which are highly toxic even in very small amounts.
