Dead Coin Battery The most frequent reason for a key fob to not allow you to lock or unlock your car is due to a dead coin battery. Before it dies you'll see an increase in range or no power. It is simple to replace it with a new (CR2025) one at your local grocery store. It is important to be aware that using the wrong or unsuitable batteries can cause damage to your key fob. Make sure that the new battery is the same size, specification and voltage as the older one. If your fob has been exposed to clean water, for example rainwater or soapy water from the tap, it is likely that corrosion has caused damage to the electronic chip. You may try cleaning the chip with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronic cleaner to check if it works but it is likely the chip has been damaged and fried. The most efficient option is to buy a new key fob. Most major car dealers sell key fobs and they can be installed by a seasoned mechanic. They can also be purchased on ebay.

Water Damage If your fob's key gets wet from dropping it into the pool or throwing it in the wash you might think it's a goner but there's still hope. When the circuit board on the fob is exposed to water, it develops a conductor which shorts the components. It also speeds up the process of corrosion and rust. This is a simple fix. Find something absorbent, and put it inside the fob. A paper towl or tissue works well. Then make use of a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl ethanol to wipe down the circuit board and other components to clean out any battery acid residue and contamination. Let the circuit board dry for several days in a warm and dry environment. Replace the battery when the fob has dried out with a new one that has the same dimensions and the same polarity ('+' (pointing upwards). The fob can be difficult to open in order to access the battery, however if you keep a flat-head screwdriver on hand it will be simple to insert. After the fob is put back together, it should work as normal. If it fails then you might need to re-program it or replace the module. Radio Interference When a keyfob is working properly, it broadcasts a radio signal that is picked up by a receiver module in your vehicle. If the signal is distorted in some way your key fob will not perform as it should. This can be caused by objects or weather conditions, or other transmitters operating on the same frequency near your vehicle. This could cause your key fob to not activate the vehicle's features, such as the ignition switch or security system. It is best to replace the battery on your key fob. A few LED lighting products that uses the same frequencies as key fobs for remote control could interfere with the signal, preventing it from reaching receiver modules. The LED light must be switched off or changed to a different frequency to be able to avoid interference. If the issue continues to persist after replacing the battery, the antenna on the key fob might be damaged or malfunctioning. The antenna is responsible for transmitting signals between the key fob and the receiver module. seat ibiza key fob not working of the OBDII can help diagnose the problem by revealing exactly what's wrong with the system. The scanner will request information about your specific vehicle including the model and make, engine type, and VIN number. Faulty Receiver Module The key fob houses an electronic receiver that sends the signals needed to lock and unlock. All electronic components that are on-board will cease functioning if this component is affected by a malfunction. If this is the case, reprogramming with an OBDII scanner or replacing the key fob may aid. This issue could be caused by a dead coin cell battery or water damage, or signal interference. It is possible to reset the on-board computer if you disconnect the 12 Volt batteries for 15 minutes. This will draw out any remaining electricity that could be causing problems. Take the cable off first of the negative terminal, then from the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, reconnect your battery in reverse order. First, positive and then negative the next. The presence of dirt or water could cause damage to the internal chip of the key fob. If your key fob stopped functioning after getting wet, wipe it with isopropyl, or an electronics cleaner. After that, replace the battery. If the key stops working after exposure to soapy or salted water, it's likely that the chip has been fried and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is an inoperable antenna module fuse that sends the signal to lock or unlock to the vehicle. The fuse can be located in several places, depending on the type of vehicle. For instance, it could be under the rear seat, or in the trunk, or on the side of the dashboard.
