Is there a specific manual I should refer to for resyncing? I might need it for my 2018 Traverse.
Yes, howardgraham! The owner’s manual usually has a section on key fob syncing. If you don’t have it, you can find PDF versions online. They are pretty helpful!
Funny story, I once tried to change the battery in my key fob without reading the instructions. It ended up being a battle! Make sure to follow the steps carefully.
Haha! I can relate! This is definitely a task worth following detailed steps for!
Changing the battery in your 2018 Traverse key fob is pretty simple! Once you replace it, consider keeping the fob away from extreme temperatures to prolong battery life.

If you notice your fob acting weird, try replacing the battery sooner rather than later to avoid disruptions!
Agreed! It’s better to be proactive than reactive.

Also, avoid leaving your fob near electronics; it can drain the battery faster. Keep it in a safe spot!
Great tip! I sometimes put mine in the center console, is that okay?
Center console is fine as long as it’s not next to a charging pad or something that emits a signal. Just keep it isolated!
Honestly, I feel like manufacturers should make fobs with better battery life. They’re so sensitive!
Totally! But until they do, following these tips can really help.
And hey, if you change the battery and it’s still acting weird, maybe it’s time to get a new fob! Just saying…
