How do you take teh back cover off this switch to access the batteries? The directions aren't clear and I don't want to crack it open trying to pry it

The batteries are accessed from the front, not the back. Just remove the two screws holding on the front cover - it comes off easily, revealing the two batteries.

On mine, the back attaches to the wall. The front attaches to the back by the screws above and below the switch, like a regular switch plate. Hope this helps.

Don't pry it off. Take the 2 screws out of the front of the switch and the back of the switch will separate from the back. The batteries will be exposed.

Grab a hold of the backside facing you, and twist it off counter-clockwise. Remove the inner casing containing 4 "C" cell batteries. Remove the batteries and replace in the same manner in which they were removed. Put the inner casing back into the cavity, and install the back cover in a clockwise rotation.

if you have really strong fingers, just grab on both sides and pull it out. I use a screwdriver, garden tool anything at hand to GENTLY pry one side of the cover up, then pull out with fingers. I have 10 of these, and this is a lot easier than having to disconnect everything and open screws to get to the battery compartment. It has to be tight to make it waterproof.

The cover turns "Counter Clockwise" 90 degrees (to the vertical position), then use a pin or other sharp pointed object at the edge of the cover to lift it off. I see no need to remove the battery since the battery will last a few years. Earl Hendrickson PE

I have not taken the back off of mine yet, but to do that you would need a screwdriver. I'm not sure why you would remove the back cover? If you need to gain access to the batteries, that is done by removing the white panel on the front of the body under the part that lights up. You don't need a screwdriver to rotate the two latches that hold it on ( you could use a coin or your fingernail). The latches don't fall out, but don't rotate them more then 90 degrees. I hope this helps you Julia.

There should be a little tab you slightly pull back on and it releases the battery cover. Most of these vehicles, you don't need to remove the screws. By doing so, you split the bottom half and top half. That's a whole different way to get to the battery.

At the opposite end from the silver on/off switch there is a tab sticking out...press down on the tab and the battery cover will open.

Twist the battery cover off at the base. I just hold the lantern upside down and twist the square rubberized battery cover counter clockwise. It should pop off with a half turn. Put the batteries in position. Then line up the two red arrows when re-positioning the cover.

Look by the back wheel on the on the right side there is a little piece of plastic coming up a hole push it toward's the wheel and the whole piece should come out to place the battery and snap the piece back. I had to push to plastic/lever a few times before I understood how it was suppose to open. When you push it towards wheel it kinds of goes down and it opens. Hope this helps you.

I had a problem the first time I removed the battery cover, but found that if you insert something thin under the bottom, where the battery cover makes contact with the front face of the remote, you can life it up and out a small amount, it will come off for easy access. I use my thumb nail but other thin plastic or metal may work better for others. The release on the battery cover seems like a poor engineering design. If you try to hold it on the sides to slide it back, you are holding pressure on the locking point that need to be released.

There is a piece on the back that slides out for mounting purposes. Take that piece off the battery compartment is there.

I had the same problem and couldn't remember how to get the battery out.The unit separates at the point where the light gray meets the darker gray. Just pull hard enough at that point and the battery compartment will pull out. What probably happens is that it gets residue on the plastic or age just causes it to become more difficult due to not opening it frequently. If you pull hard enough, it will open. It is a single AAA battery that is needed.

It's a little tricky :) Turn it over and you have the black back cover with the big "B" on it. If you look at the edges you will see two small triangles along the sides. If you push down on the back and spin the whole back cover in the direction of the arrows (not even a quarter of a turn), the back will simply pop off and you'll see the battery compartment. Hope this helps...or write back if you can't get it. --CC

I carefully used a strong, wide, flat head screwdriver to pry up one edge, (go deep! about 1/2 " don't stab yourself! and be careful not to catch the battery underneath) continue to pry up until it pops out. It IS very difficult to get open as there is a lip underneath above the batteries that help hold it in. A pain, but you don't want that popping out while your dog plays with it. There are 2 batteries once you get inside. Takes me a few minutes to get it open.
